Eric Nelson, a certified financial planner, discusses the importance of timing Social Security benefits, which can impact a retiree's lifetime income, taxes, and legacy planning. He explains the three key ages: 62 (earliest), 67 (full retirement age), and 70 (maximized benefits). Delaying benefits until 70 increases them by 8% annually, but early collection reduces benefits by 30%. Nelson emphasizes understanding cash flow needs, survivor benefits, and coordinating Social Security with other retirement income. He advises against paying back benefits once collected and stresses the importance of personalized financial advice and accurate Social Security earnings records.
