Show Notes

In this special edition of Retirement Results, Ford Stokes is joined by guest co-host Matt McClure—Series 65 licensed advisor and one of just 23 Registered Social Security Analysts (RSSAs) in Georgia. With Sam Davis off on the golf course, Ford and Matt dive deep into optimizing your Social Security claiming strategy, why going it alone can cost you, and how to unlock powerful but overlooked benefits for spouses, widows, and divorced individuals.

They also share real client success stories and break down the myth of the traditional 60/40 portfolio, offering modern income strategies using fixed indexed annuities and tax-smart planning. If you're nearing retirement or already there, this episode is packed with actionable advice you don't want to miss.
