Diving Deep on Social Security decisions with Marsha Mantell (part two)

Diving Deep on Social Security decisions with Marsha Mantell (part two)

In this episode of Something More with Chris Boyd, Chris, and Jeff welcome back Social
Security expert and author Marsha Mantell for a deep dive into reallife Social Security case
studies. Drawing from her book Social Security: Lightly Toasted, Not Burned, Marsha shares
relatable scenarios from single earners and hardworking bluecollar couples to divorced spouses,
blended families, and widows navigating complex decisions. Together, they walk through how
lifetime earnings, timing, marital history, and survivor benefits shape Social Security outcomes.
With humor (yes, the Flintstones and Brady Bunch make an appearance) and practical insight,
this episode highlights why assumptions about ages like 62, 65, 70, or even 70½ often miss the
mark and why thoughtful planning matters. Whether you are approaching retirement or helping
clients prepare, this conversation delivers clarity, strategy, and “something more” to help you
make informed choices about your Social Security benefits.
