Wanna game the Social Security system in your old age? That is, squeeze the most juice out of it? optimize Social Security checks? Well, listen up. Don’t just belly up to the bar and sign up for monthly checks without reviewing your own personal situation or you could leave a lot on the table. You can get more cash — lots more cash — if you know the guidelines.
For instance, Maurice, were you aware that you can get $2800 a month as opposed to $2000 a month in Social Security benefits if you go past full retirement age before asking for your cut? That’s a massive slice more. Is there a fly in the ointment? No. Nope. Non. And nyet. You just need to grasp the rules.
Here’s the deal. If you’re in good health and expect to cash your chips at the death window in your 80s or beyond you would be a blockhead to ignore this chance. The Social Security law announces you can defer receiving monthly checks and RAISE YOUR MONTHLY TAKE up to age 70. And the income lasts as long as you do. Well who wouldn’t want to do that? Anyone that is expecting to live into their 80s and does not actually need the cash at the moment.
Lemme give you a fer example. Let’s assume you are approaching retirement age and you are in robust health, and you like your job. At full retirement, say age 66, you get $2000 a month. But retirement in your consciousness sucks, because you do not need to use your time polishing your retirement Cadillac all day and pulling weeds. So you intend to slow down although not retire as such. If you know what I mean. Well Sport, if you work in retirement and bring home some bacon you are taxed on the bacon and taxed on the Social Security payments you bring in.
What?!! Go back. Well that sucks. If you work in retirement and are getting Social Security payments you are taxed on the Social Security payments. BUT you can game the system, I guarantee. If you can get by on what you are making including possibly pinching a little from your IRA each month, you get an 8% raise annually you don’t take Social Security.
This isn’t difficult. Stay with me. If your Social Security benefits are $2000 a month at age 66, but you wait to age 70 you get $3000 a month PLUS cost of living increases on the higher amount.
OK, but did you not throw $2000 a month for four years down the toilet? Of course you did! Nintey-six thousand dollars ($96,000) to be exact. 4 years times $24,000 a year.
BUT! If you live to age 78 you get all that moolah back! And if you live to age 85 or 90 you have gamed the system enormously, baby!
