Financial Planner and Host of The Simply Retirement Podcast
I’ve spent much of my career helping women understand the financial decisions that can shape their retirement. Social Security is an important part of that picture, but the rules can be confusing, especially when it comes to spousal, survivor, and divorced-spouse benefits.
I created these guides to make Social Security easier to understand and to help you know the questions to ask as you make decisions about your retirement.
Because better retirement decisions start with asking the right questions.
