From the program\u2019s looming funding challenges to the widespread myths about bankruptcy, grandfathering, and claiming strategies. Marsha breaks down what retirees really need to know. They explore her new book, Social Security: Lightly Toasted, Not Burned, and discuss the program\u2019s history, why people are panicking, and why they should not. They outline both the math and the mindset behind smart claiming decisions. Whether you are single, married, divorced, or widowed, Marsha explains why context matters, why the rules are not always intuitive, and how this decision fits into broader retirement and financial planning. If Social Security feels confusing or overwhelming, this episode brings clarity, calm, and practical guidance for mapping your own best path forward. #SocialSecurity #RetirementPlanning #FinancialAdvice #MarshaMantell #ChrisBoyd #WealthEnhancementGroup #RetirementEducation #SocialSecurityMyths #FinancialPodcast #SomethingMoreWithChrisBoyd For more information or to reach TEAM AMR, click the following link: https:\/\/www.wealthenhancement.com\/advisor-teams\/amr-team To buy Marcia Mantell\u2019s book, click the link below: https:\/\/www.barnesandnoble.com\/w\/social-security-lightly-toasted-not-burnt-marcia-macdonald-  mantell\/1148852467?ean=9798987424933 &amp;nbsp; ","author_name":"Something More with Chris Boyd","author_url":"http:\/\/somethingmorewithchrisboyd.libsyn.com","html":"<iframe title=\"Libsyn Player\" style=\"border: none\" src=\"\/\/html5-player.libsyn.com\/embed\/episode\/id\/40078960\/height\/90\/theme\/custom\/thumbnail\/yes\/direction\/forward\/render-playlist\/no\/custom-color\/88AA3C\/\" height=\"90\" width=\"600\" scrolling=\"no\"  allowfullscreen webkitallowfullscreen mozallowfullscreen oallowfullscreen msallowfullscreen><\/iframe>","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/assets.libsyn.com\/secure\/item\/40078960"}
