03/23/20 • 24 min

Social Security is often an important part of your retirement plan.
In this episode, I wanted to cover the basics of Social Security along with some of the specific considerations that relate to a woman's retirement planning.
For instance:

What happens if you get divorced?
Or what happens if you become a widow?
How is Social Security taxed?
When can you start taking Social Security benefits?
How much will you get?

I address these questions and more in this episode of the Women's Retirement Radio podcast.
