Should You Wait to Claim Social Security for Your Spouse's Sake?
There's a benefit to being single in retirement, and it's getting to call your own shots. Want to move to the mountains and spend your days basking in the great outdoors? Go for it.
But when you're married, the retirement decisions you make become a bit more complicated. That's because you'll generally have to factor in your spouse's needs in addition to your own.
One such decision you might struggle with in this regard is signing up for Social Security. You may want to file for benefits at a fairly young age so you can get that money sooner and enjoy it while you have more energy and better health.
