Is Withdrawing from Your IRA to Delay Social Security Worth It?

Timing Social Security is a key Retirement decision, but it’s often made in isolation. Many retirees overlook how IRA withdrawals fit into the picture or how those two levers can work together to improve your retirement plan.

In today’s video, Lena will walk you through a retirement case study that illustrates the long-term impact of using IRA withdrawals to delay Social Security.

For Joe and Mary, this strategy increased their lifetime retirement spending by more than $500,000! The numbers are specific to their situation, but the takeaway is clear: a thoughtful, integrated strategy can make a meaningful difference.
