Gee, a non-government person knowing more than lazy useless government employees? Yeap 99% of the time.
Last year I was off work for 3 months... A 'dry run' for retirement I guess you could say. I still have almost 3 years before I am eligible for the earliest w/d. But I am rethinking applying at 62 because in that 3 months I went stir crazy... I felt like my brain was turning to mush. I visited every family member, every friend, volunteered, took up painting... but I was still nuts. My left brain was in withdrawals for some activity. So unless I have some health issues, I think I will keep working. I really like what I do right now and it's part time with a lot of travel. I work a couple of weeks then get a couple of weeks off. So far it's what works for me. No debt, so I am ready either way. I chose to forego health insurance for sanity, otherwise I would be working full time, be totally stressed out, and probably sick---like I was before I quit for that 3 months.
I really like your vids, always thought provoking, thx Devin.

Love your videos. Here’s a topic I would like to see - filing early vs filing at 70 - considering these factors - 1) investing the early payments and how that effects the break even 2) government changes that reduce everyone’s payment by a percentage 3) government changes that might be means adjusted - will they use income or net worth to means adjust?
If you have NO DEBT and a paid off home, car. Go for it early. My monthly Bill's are 388.00 per month. My current check is 1,764.00. I have plenty of money left over each month.

How about still having to pay in if you work?
I was forced to take early SS @ 63.5 years of age. I wanted to wait until I was 70, however I was forced out of my job and could not obtain fulltime employment. I got a part time job (no benefits) and took my SS benefits in the Spring of 2018. The problem is that the income limits until my FRA (this year!) I feel are unfair as I had to pay for my health insurance fully which is very expensive until Medicare started last September. How was I to survive on the part time job and SS alone? I did not want to tap into my 401K which was doing well and once depleted I could not replace the savings. Seniors in this predicament need to be protected in their jobs..Congress WAKE UP!!. My severance was only two months worth of health insurance and salary. I am a former nurse and had been working for a Church which is now closed due to Covid 19. Thank God for the part-time job. I am a divorced single woman, no spouse or children,

In my case, I was 64 and paid into COBRA from a medical savings account until I was 65 and eligible for medicare. And believe me, _medicare_ isn't that cheap, either.
Thanks Devin. I can tell you put a lot of time and energy into this helpful video. One huge subject I haven't seen addressed in this video is health insurance. If you are under the age of 65 and not eligible for Medicare your health insurance must be paid for by your Social Security check if you don't have any other income.

I took retirement at 62, a year and a half before I planned retiring. I made the decision just before I retired. Why? Because the company I worked for was setting me up to get fired. Perhaps I should have allowed them to fire me and collect unemployment and look for another job but I didn't want to get fired so I retired.

She enjoyed one holiday season, and died shortly afterward. Neither of those two women lacked financial resources, but they wanted maximum benefits.

Depending on your birthdate and work situation it could be good to retire in January or the year you reach FRA. The earning limit is higher before they dock you and they dock you at the rate of $1 for every $3 you earn.

What is the MAXIMUM amount a person can collect from Social Security on a Monthly Basis after age 70? Does S.S. use the 30 Best Years of Income Rule all of the time for the Maximum Monthly Benefit? If you served in the U.S. Military during ( WWII, Korea, Vietnam and into the Cold War Era which ended in 1988) on "ACTIVE DUTY" did you know that for every quarter ( 3 Months of Active Duty Service) YOU are entitled to an additional $300 per Quarter of "ACTIVE DUTY SERVICE" up to a Total of $1,200 per year when you start collecting your Social Security Benefits! That is an additional $100 Dollars per Month! NOBODY TALKS ABOUT THAT BENEFIT FOR THOSE WHO SERVED THEIR COUNTRY ON "ACTIVE DUTY." What say YOU Mr. Devin Carroll?
You do great work, Devin. Thank you for the great attention to detail!
We had planned on my husband retiring and collecting Social Security at full retirement age of 67. He is having his second back surgery in October this year and he has told me flat out he is retiring at 62 because the job is just getting really hard on him with his back. I never worked outside the home so we know that I’ll only get 33% and he’ll get 70 percent but with his pension and savings we will be OK. Even at 60 to his Social Security is not too bad.Not ideal, and he expects to live to a long healthy age , that is not the issue . But after two back surgeries he just knows it’s going to be very hard because he has a physical job. He’s 59 so he has to wait three years and that’s gonna be hard enough ! At least we have three years to save like crazy and also put as much as we can in his 401(k)You never know he may change his mind after this surgery and losing some weight . But that is the plan for now. I really do appreciate your channel and the advice you give and information you share . Like I said we had planned on retiring later until his back started giving him trouble and now two surgeries in less than two years has changed our plans.

Homemakers have marketable skills. I worked as a home health aide for instance. Hospital sitter. Work from home as an appointment setter. Etc. My husband was ill and had to collect early which greatly reduced my widow benefits eventually. I was 61 which also reduced it. I'll get my SS at 70. Almost double what I get now. Good luck.
how do you know but the payments that you're getting are the right amount ?
I read that 62 is the most popular age to begin taking Social Security. Does that number include the people who begin taking other benefits, and then switch at a later date to their own benefits. That would seem to throw off the numbers.
Really good video Devin.

Information regarding retirement is definitely lacking. I took retirement in 2016 due to health issues and there was no information to help me with a decision that was critical to my health. I have since researched social security administration information up and down and have learned so much. Without this information it is deathly and social security administration and Congress who controls these benefits don't care. This eliminates you receiving any additional help for medications and other needs because if you are a few dollars over it excludes you. I do not understand how people in good faith can determine they are retiring at 62 because of your health. My intent was to continue until 70 years old but my health stopped me. How can a deceased former spouse who earned three times more than me, died at 55 years old, died and never received social security. I did file for survivor social security until I was 65 years. I then took my own because it was a few extra dollars. I should be able to again file for my survivor benefit at 70 but social security continues to give mixed messages that don't make sense. Do you have an answer that makes sense.
If both my wife and I retire at full benefits the monthly payout is over $5000. No point on cashing out early.

Do you help people get on SSDI.
Devin, I’ve read that a military pension is not included in your total income when factoring how much your SS is taxed. Is that true? Thanks
This is complicated because I have several years of military and reserve time, civil service time that ended 09/30/1996 due to his death, private industry years that ended after about 19 years due to my health; plus, my former deceased spouse served 20 years active duty with some disability, and worked federal employment retirement from 1981 until 1996 when he died. He did not do a conversion; therefore, I would think that my social security benefit would be greater as a survivor than his. My husband never drew any social security benefits and I never applied for his benefits until 65 and a half. If you have any help please let me know.
I have tried and tried to get my earnings statement to reflect lost years of wages. Any ideas on what else I can do to ensure that they are reporting the earnings properly It is showing 6 years of missing wages.
Hi Devin, Great information! I am glad to see that there is someone out there that can explain things in a much simpler manner and break things down step by step, so we can understand what we need to do with our own social security benefits, in order to make a more informed decision. QUESTION... Shouldn't there be a number # 10? Don't you have to also consider what state you live in to get a better return on your benefits. Tax wise... Thanks for all the financially life saving advise. Keep up the awesome work you are doing. Thanks for also sharing your gift you have been given and sharing it with others.

It’s a gamble. I personally know four people who retired from the company I work for, at full retirement age, some beyond that, and passed away 2-3 years after they retired. How crappy is that? They worked their entire life and only got a few years out of retirement. Also, when you’re older, you aren’t always able to do all the things you’d like because your age slows you down. A lot to consider. 🤷🏻♂️
My problem is filing years of SS Medicare Disability for last 4 or 5 years of lump sum payments. I need to file my wife's last 4 years of payments as I know that you cannot file 100% of funds paid. Is there an Excel spreadsheet to cover this for filing?
What if you have divorced and they never remarried for spousal issues?
There's a problem with filing Social Security and the direction that Social Security is going it doesn't seem like it's going to last too long . I guess some of most people would prefer to file early , hey Devin can you give us your take on this please ?

What if I get social security at 63 and still working would it benefit me or wait and die before the age of 66 and loose it all.
I retired 7 years ago at age 62 and went on Social Security at that time. I wasn't fooled by the false feeling that more per money equals more money total. As far as the right age to file, it's a question that can't be answered. The reason it can't be answer is because you don't have all the information to know. The one key piece is unknown and that is the date of your death. Without that, you are just guessing. I took the "bird in the hand" approach. The idea that you are getting a "reduced" benefit simply isn't the case. More per month does not garantee more money total. All three payouts come even around age 80. (79 years, 8 months for me) Like I said, start with the date of your death and you can figure it out. Without that information, you are just guessing.

Survivor benefits are not divided in the first place. Yours will not change because of anything happening to someone else.
If I am on SSDI and my husband will be 62. Should he file at 62 will my SS be raised to what my husband gets?
I am receiving disability does it make a difference if U take retirement @ 62 instead of 67?😀

SSDI is what you would get if Full Retirement Age. So no need to apply. When you turn 67 it just automatically turns to Social Security Retirement.
Regarding your money, social security COLA's, etc. People, remember INFLATION - is worse than you think!! Since the 18th of March until today (11/4) The US Dollar has dropped *exactly* 10%! That means, by definition, the cost of imported goods will be more expensive (INFLATION) than earlier this year because the dollar has been DEVALUED. Since our country has been running trade deficits (with a few exceptions) since the mid-80's (with stagnant wages that have flat-lined since 2000) , are we really surprised about the cost of goods and the cost of living?? Because EVERYONE'S taxes are going up next year due to federal tax revenues shortfalls this year, be prepared for dollars to be sucked out of your wallet as you shake your head in disbelief! This gives new meaning to the words "money velocity." Then you have to factor in all the other money you are going to be required to pay for things like The Green New Deal, The Great Rest Agenda, Medicare for All, reparations, for the "oppressed," "free" college and university tuition for everyone, healthcare for all undocumented immigrants, and other pet projects of the Global Elite, your standard of living, by definition goes down. Money that we think we have earned and saved... nope, it is not yours. It belongs to your Federal Government. Add in Money Monetary Theory with central banks around the globe and you've got a massive increases of poor, indentured servants ... and even more concentration of elites and powerful banking institutions all around the world. We are peasants. Revolt!
