The issue of when to file for
Social Security may be the single
most important decision retirees
make in planning for their retirement. Unfortunately, there are
many common mistakes people make when signing up, some
of which may have a permanent negative impact on the lifetime
benefits one receives.
Available to everyone filing for Social Security, there are

individual or couple to retire comfortably.
