We Ran the Numbers: When Singles vs Married Couples Should Take Social Security
When should you take Social Security — at 62, 67, or 70? The answer depends on whether you're single or married, and the math looks very different for each. In this episode, Erik Soderborg and Zacc Call, president of Capita Financial Network, sit down and walk through real break-even analyses for single filers and married couples side by side. This is Part 4 of our 4-part Social Security series, and it's where the theory from previous episodes meets actual numbers.We run multiple scenarios showing how filing age, spousal coordination, survivor benefits, cost of living adjustments, and investment growth all shift the break-even point — sometimes by years. If you've been trying to figure out the right time to file, this is the episode that puts it all together.📌 Watch the full Social Security series: ▸ Part 1: https://youtu.be/AZfxGBp-Mts▸ Part 2: https://youtu.be/Ssgulq9KwEU▸ Part 3: https://youtu.be/FpnHmouqYl4🔗 Want help building a retirement income plan around your Social Security filing decision?

The Social Security Break Even Points That Everyone Misses
Social Security break-even age — it sounds simple, but most people calculate it wrong. In this episode, Erik Soderborg sits down with Zacc Call, president of Capita Financial Network, for Part 3 of our 4-part Social Security series. We walk through how to actually calculate your Social Security break-even age and break down the 3 most common mistakes that lead to an inaccurate number — and potentially a bad filing decision.We cover why ignoring the Cost of Living Adjustment (COLA) skews your break-even, why Social Security filing needs to be a team decision with your spouse, and why you can't ignore the investment growth you'd get by leaving your portfolio untouched while delaying benefits.Whether you're 62 and deciding when to file or still a few years out, this episode gives you the framework to make a smarter, more informed decision.📌 Watch the full Social Security series:▸ Part 1: https://youtu.be/AZfxGBp-Mts▸ Part 2: https://youtu.be/Ssgulq9KwEU🔗 Want help building a retirement income plan that accounts for Social Security, taxes, and investments?
