Social security will likely be the foundation of your retirement income. That's why it's so important to understand your options and the effect your decisions have on your retirement. This educational workshop, presented by Dan Gilligan Financial Advisor with Edward Jones in Windsor, will examine how social security fits into your retirement income plan, when you should start taking benefits, and ways to maximize benefits for the individual and spouse. We will also discuss taxes and how they impact benefits. This workshop will be presented virtually on Saturday, October 3 at 10:30 AM.
