Social Security decisions have always been a balancing act, but a new piece of legislation, the “Big Beautiful Bill,” is adding fresh twists. This week, Adam Scott examines how recent changes impact when and how to claim Social Security, challenging viral “claim early” advice and breaking down the bill’s pros and cons. Adam unpacks myths, math errors, and what the future may really hold for your benefits. He also delivers a sobering warning: plan for a 20% cut in benefits after 2032, and don’t count on Congress to save the day. Adam discusses: How the Big Beautiful Bill’s tax changes may mean tax-free Social Security, but only until 2028 Why influencer advice to claim early at 62 often ignores flawed assumptions and survivorship benefits The real impact of the Social Security Trust Fund running out, and why it’s not a total disappearance of benefits The connection between life expectancy, claiming age, and long-term payout strategies Political and fiscal challenges make a full Congressional “rescue” of Social Security unlikely And more! Resources: Should You Claim Social Security Early or Wait? (Ep. 27) Connect with Adam Scott, CFP®:  LinkedIn: Adam Scott LinkedIn: WellAcre Wealth WellAcreWealth.com Phone: 310-220-4946

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
