Great Book to Understand Social Security
936334
This is a great book to read to understand the many different aspects of social security.  As I am nearing retirement age I wanted to know more about the program and what options I can make.  This book has been very helpful.  It covers the different parts of the program such as medical options, retirement pay, and other issues.  I recommend it as a great read for anyone who wants to know more about the program.

Whether you are nearing retirement or recently retired, this is a great book if you are wondering about how to spend your retirement years.  The book includes some wonderful James A. Autry poems and is very consistent with his other works such as "Love and Profit, the Art of Caring Leadership" which I also recommend.  As the title suggests, this book really is about the "spirit" of retirement and really is focused on the psychological challenges of retirement rather than the financial issues.

This is a very complicated subject, but the authors clearly explained the principles and the calculations.  They included enough detailed examples, with various scenarios, to illustrate the many aspects of Social Security claiming strategies.

This book has great value for anyone looking to maximize their entitlements as they plan for their retirement. Dr Donna Davis has taken a complicated subject and made it easy to understand. I loved her first book and now she has another winner.

I enjoyed Steve's book. I learned about more about how to save my money. Some of his tips about paying yourself first and monitoring credit card debt reminds me to stay within my budget. Very well written book.

I came across this book quite by accident in a friend's office and went to Amazon to purchase it.  I have found it to be the easiest to read and understand regarding all Medicare information.  It is far more easy to understand then any material I received from any agency including the government. I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in knowing all the ins and outs of the Medicare Program.  The authors have done a great job in providing the information in a simple and well written book.

Great Information. My wife signed up for half of my ss while we are both still working. We would have missed out on a lot of cash without it!

In a country where people are just not saving for retirement, this is a must read. I am a CPA and up on most of the retirement vehicles, but I thiught it was well written and clear for the average person

This book really gave me an overall comprehension of the Social Security program.  Basically, you hear a lot about waiting as long as possible to start collecting.  Even though this is true, a person need to live long enough to collect for this to be true.  I believe that if you have any major illness, start collecting as soon as possible, otherwise you may not get back much at all.  Especially, if you are a male.

This is a must read for people in their 20s and 30s, especially those who are married and have children.  Most people think Social Security and the company 401K will take care of their retirement.  A great many of those people believe if they start saving in their mid-30s they will accumulate enough wealth to retire comfortably.  This book reinforces the need to begin saving for retirement as soon as you begin working full-time because of the power of compounding and all of the various circumstances like Bar Mitzah's, weddings and other financially draining events.  It made me examine my own portfolio and strategy for future financial events.  It is a very easy to read and understand book and can be read in a day

This book contains solid, easy to understand financial information broken down into manageable, common sense chunks.  I particularly liked the orientation of separating yourself emotionally from your money; so many people nowadays mistakenly have their personal worth and financial worth intertwined.  If you need to repair your credit, this is the book for you.

My husband and I loved this book!  I think there is a need for financial planning books that are understandable to all age groups and all stages of financial acumen and this is it.  I gave a copy to my 29 year old nephew and he now is another fan of Jim Patton.  That age is when to start thinking and doing something about future security.  A long time ago, in a different world, we had a long career at one job and had a retirement plan.  Those days are gone but not the need for advice and planning.  This is a must read for the many in that position if they want to retire financially secure.  My great thanks and compliments to Jim on a really fine book.

This book is informative especially if you want your wife you collect half of your social security while she is still working and then collect hers later for more money.  It was quite interesting but most of this you can really find out through your social security office.
