In an extreme low-interest rate world, Social Security benefits have become one of the main sources of dependable income. However, many retirees are not maximizing their benefits, often taking money early and forgoing larger payouts later for themselves or a surviving spouse. On this week’s program Jim and John discuss five specific strategies to help you maximize your Social Security benefits. They begin with the basics as to the different ages you can apply for benefits, and how this affects the amount you will receive for the rest of your life. This week Jim looks at strategies to help married couples. Next week the program will focus on maximizing Social Security benefits for women, be they single, divorced or widowed. The guest this week is Dr. Drew Collins of the San Diego Clinic of Integrative Medicine, who will discuss the benefits of chelation therapy.
