Why did the software catch on so quickly well pensions have been disappearing over the last decade, markets can be seen as unreliable so social security is even more critical for families to create a lifetime income stream in retirement?  Joe lets us know how critical the choices available and how the consequences of those choices can actually derail our retirement. The software compares every possible election strategy available to married couples, single people, divorced people, widows, government employees and even those who have already elected and generates a full report incorporating multiple possible ages of death, cost of living adjustments, including claiming instructions, cash flow report, income gap report, and more.
