Social Security

At Perissos Private Wealth Management, we understand that maximizing your Social Security benefits is a crucial part of your retirement planning journey. Our process is designed to help you receive the highest possible income from Social Security while simultaneously enhancing your total wealth and retirement security. By taking a holistic approach to your financial planning, we strive to tailor your Social Security strategy to your unique needs and goals.

 

Deciding when to take Social Security benefits—whether between ages 62 and 70, spousal benefits, or opting for personal or spousal benefits first—requires careful consideration. In addition, you may be questioning how to supplement your income from IRAs or non-IRAs during this period and how these choices might impact the taxation of your benefits and other income streams.

 

These decisions are vital and can significantly influence your financial future. It is essential to consider a wide range of factors, including your investment plan, income strategy, longevity, and more. A narrow focus on any single aspect could lead to suboptimal outcomes, making it crucial to view these decisions as interconnected pieces of a broader puzzle.

 

Our strategy, part of your Customized Retirement Plan, integrates all these factors into a cohesive and strategic design. By partnering with Perissos Private Wealth Management, you can gain peace of mind knowing that we approach your Social Security planning with meticulous attention to detail.

 

Our team of professionals brings years of experience and expertise in Social Security planning, seamlessly integrating different strategies into your overall financial plan to optimize your retirement income streams, enhance your financial security, and maximize your overall wealth.
