Excellent product and information about the confusing and challenging SS process. I gave the book four stars only because it is somewhat complicated for the average person to understand. The author also tends to inject his humor into the complicated and confusing explanation of some rationally inexplicable SS requirements. I found it compelling to learn that the difference between taking payments early rather than later was a whopping 76% difference. This could be important for those who must rely mostly on these payments for their retirement income. Of course, one's health is always a factor to be included the decision. I would also suggest that you consider an excellent alternative produced and available by the same authors. It is computer software titled "Maximize my Social Security." Google maximizemysocialsecurity The software does most of the hard work for you. It provides the best scenario(s) for when you and or your spouse should take your social security payments. The software also produces a very nice written report that you can share with others who work with you on your financial or retirement planning goals. I bought both products and recommend them.Read full review

I have gone through the book and still can't find how to apply for the extra money. The book seems to be all boilerplate with no or a hidden message on how to file for the extra money. I sat through the online sepal and again all boilerplate with a sales pitch to buy the book. I feel like I have been had.

The book is great condition, but not easy read, not laid out well. It would be a great reference book if it had been written in a straight forward manner with clarity. Not the book vendors problem, but the author. I would not waste money on buying one.

This is the kind of book that you need to read and heed several years before you or your spouse reach age 60. This book explains the ins and outs of the Social Security rules to fully maximize the benefits available to you. The folks at the Social Security Administration are not going to give you any more help than what you ask for. It's kind of like a "don't ask, don't tell" policy, where if you don't ask them for advice to maximize your allowable benefits, they certainly aren't going to tell you another way to file to increase the monetary benefits you could be receiving. Most importantly, it gives you guidance about when you and your spouse should file, and request spousal benefits. If you've already started to receive Social Security benefits, this probably would be a very sad book to read, as you would find all the ways you could have received greater benefits than you currently receive. An early read before retirement could make you many thousands of dollars richer after retirement/Read full review

I’ve only just begun reading this “Get What’s Your’s” hardbound book. The info is up to date & has a publish date of 2015. I felt it was high time I get the facts on how the whole system works, once & for all. It’s hard bound & easy to comprehend terms. So far I am really enjoying each chapter & I am eager to read & learn all I can about this topic & figure out how I will maximize my own benefits. Enjoy!
