Understanding Social Security & Retirement Planning in Ohio

Social Security is a federal program that contributes essential retirement income for many Americans. However, in Ohio, its importance is magnified due to the unique financial landscape. 


Below we’ve outlined why Social Security is a critical component of your Ohio retirement plan:


  • Supplementing Retirement Income: Social Security serves as a reliable source of income during retirement. Lakehouse Family Wealth integrates your Social Security benefits into a comprehensive retirement plan, considering how Social Security can complement other income sources like pensions and savings.


  • Navigating Ohio's Financial Landscape: Ohio retirees face specific financial challenges, such as changing tax regulations, healthcare costs, and inflation rates. Our expert advisors are well-versed in Ohio's financial environment and will help you leverage Social Security benefits effectively within this context.


  • Maximizing Benefits: Our team assists you in optimizing your Social Security benefits by determining the best age to start claiming, ensuring you receive the maximum amount throughout your retirement.


  • Mitigating Longevity Risk: Ohio retirees face the uncertainty of how long their savings need to last. Social Security acts as a safety net, reducing the risk of outliving your savings. We incorporate this safeguard into your retirement plan.
