About this listen

Social Security: it sounds straightforward, like something you just “get” when you retire — right after a handshake and maybe a coupon book. But the reality? It’s a tangle of rules, deadlines, penalties, and weird exceptions that no one really explained. Until now.

In this episode, your hosts dig into the fine print behind America’s most confusing subscription plan.

You’ll learn:

– When and how to claim (and why it matters)

– What working after 62 actually does to your benefit

– How spousal and ex-spouse benefits work (yes, even if they’re terrible)

– And whether waiting until 70 is genius or just optimism in a cardigan

If you’ve ever stared at your Social Security statement and thought, “...am I supposed to understand this?” — this episode is for you.
