About this listen

Should I collect Social Security early & invest the proceeds into the stock market? This is the age-old question I see on a nearly daily basis in retirement forums.

An article from Morningstar - written by Christine Benz and features a conversation with Social Security expert Mary Beth Franklin - gives me the basis for sharing six obstacles for claiming instead of waiting.

Also, we share a listener question about whether retirees should stick with the traditional 60/40 stock-and-bond portfolio or branch out into alternatives like gold, REITs, or managed futures to help with risk management and withdrawal rate.
