6 Ways to Maximize Your Social Security Payout

This society is too "money oriented and materialistic."

Being "Free" and "Liberated" from the job to do as you please is of greater value

than dollars and cents.

Leisure time to engage in recreation, and 'thinking' to make a better mouse trap

or make a truer more representative democracy is more desireable than working

for paper money!

WORKING AND PAYING INTO SOCIAL SECURITY UNTIL AGE 70 PROVIDES A HIGHER BASIS FOR CALCULATION OF THE HIGHER PAYOUT. THE HIGHER BASIS CANNOT BE ACCOMPLISHED IF PAYMENTS TO SOCIAL SECURITY ARE STOPPED PRIOR TO AGE 70. THE MUCH HIGHER MONTHLY SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK IS ACHIEVED BY ONLY THOSE WHO WORK AND PAY INTO SOCIAL SECURITY UNTIL AGE 70. LIVING LONG ENOUGH IS THE ONLY CERTAIN WAY TO RECEIVE AN OVERALL MAXIMUM PAYOUT.

IF you start collecting at age 62 versus age 66, it will take 16 years of payments until you have received the identical sum of money from the government....age 78. Assume 3% annual inflation and the buying power of the money has decreased by 48%.....the government will not tell you that.
