laurieb755 's review for:
Get What's Yours: The Secrets to Maxing Out Your Social Security
by Laurence J. Kotlikoff
While reading this book (borrowed from my local library) I ordered a copy to give to my brother on his upcoming birthday. Then I returned to taking copious notes on those chapters that currently or potentially apply to myself and my husband.
Kotlikoff, Moeller and Solman have written an accessible short book on the ins and outs of social security and it is a must-read for anyone wanting to correctly understand what they are eligible for in terms of social security benefits, and when to apply for those benefits.
For me it was an eye opener (as it was for Paul Solman) that there is something called Spousal Benefits and making use of them can add dollars to retirement benefits. The book is packed with information to cover just about any circumstance that you might encounter in your own quest for social security benefits, as well as tips that you might not know about and benefits you might not know exist.
So why a 4 instead of a 5? I have not yet decided if the authors' brand of humor agrees with me. Although it did make me occasionally grin. Okay, my rating is a 4.5. :-)
