We plan our vacations; we plan our marriages and maybe we plan our divorces. But we plan a lot of things. You're going to receive your Social Security benefit on average, 18 to 20 years, but maybe 25 or 30 years, maybe even longer. So you need to plan before you file that application, and that's the important part. Before you file, look at all your options.You may end up doing what you were thinking of doing anyway, but at least now you've looked at it and a lot of people will make adjustments and it doesn't have to be a lot of years, it doesn't have to be, I'm planning on filing at 62. I looked at my Social Security, now I got to work another eight years and I'm not going to retire till 70. That's not the case for everybody, but I may wait till full retirement age, or maybe I'll wait till 64, 65. All sorts of things can factor in there. You want to look at it before you apply.”-Jim BlairBe sure to check out Prepare for Medicare - The Insider's Guide to Buying Medicare Insurance.

Lots of people think that they should start claiming their Social Security on the same day that they retire. However, there's ample evidence proving otherwise–and when (and how) you choose to take your Social Security can have a big impact on your retirement. To discuss this, we've brought Marc Kiner and Jim Blair back to the podcast. Jim worked for the Social Security Administration for 35 years before he teamed up with Marc, and they now work together to help people determine exactly when to file in order to maximize their benefits. In this episode, we explore the many different options retirees have when it comes to claiming Social Security. We get into how Social Security is taxed, why different types of retirement income don't play nice together, and how to put a stop to preventable losses and make the most of this extraordinarily complex program. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: Why there are over 600 different iterations to claim Social Security for the average 62-year-old–and why some of these strategies can help you take home as much as an additional $100,000 in lifetime income. Why so many financial advisors don't understand how Social Security actually works. The reason so many men should wait until age 70 to maximize their benefits. Why Social Security checks become stagnant when retirees reach Medicare age. The surprising reason you may not want to claim your Social Security benefits online.

Social security is the backbone of so many people's retirement plans, yet many of us get it wrong. In fact, the average family leaves over $100,000 in benefits on the table. Your retirement strategy must include a solid game plan for claiming social security benefits, but it isn't always easy to figure out what exactly is available to you - or how to get it. Mark Kiner has been a CPA since 1980 and has focused much of his work since 2008 on understanding social security. When he needed help, a friend recommended that he reach out to Jim Blair, who walked away from his own retirement to co-found Premier Social Security Consulting. Now, they provide Social Security consulting for individual clients and education for financial advisors. Today, Mark and Jim join the podcast to talk about the major mistakes that people make as they claim social security, how to craft a strategy designed to avoid these pitfalls once and for all, and how to find an advisor who can help you navigate this astoundingly complex system. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: How Americans leave as much as $3.4 trillion in unclaimed social security benefits behind. Why even Social Security Administration employees lack comprehensive knowledge of everything possible when it comes to social security. How to navigate benefits taxes and avoid accidentally crossing an income threshold that can drastically affect your finances. Why social security isn't going to go broke - and taking benefits now because you think it will is a bad idea. How divorce can affect social security eligibility and payments.

Ed opperman interview Mark Shaw about the murder of Dorothy KilgallenWas What's My Line TV Star, media icon, and crack investigative reporter and journalist Dorothy Kilgallen murdered for writing a tell-all book about the JFK assassination? If so, is the main suspect in her death still at large? These questions and more are answered in former CNN, ESPN, and USA Today legal analyst Mark Shaw's 25th book, The Reporter Who Knew Too Much. Through discovery of never-before-seen videotaped eyewitness interviews with those closest to Kilgallen and secret government documents, Shaw unfolds a “whodunit” murder mystery featuring suspects including Frank Sinatra, J. Edgar Hoover, Mafia Don Carlos Marcello and a "Mystery Man" who may have silenced Kilgallen. All while by presenting through Kilgallen's eyes the most compelling evidence about the JFK assassinations since the House Select Committee on Assassination's investigation in the 1970s. Called by the New York Post, “the most powerful female voice in America,” and by acclaimed author Mark Lane the “the only serious journalist in America who was concerned with who killed John Kennedy and getting all of the facts about the assassination,” Kilgallen's official cause of death reported as an overdose of barbiturates combined with alcohol, has always been suspect since no investigation occurred despite the death scene having been staged. Shaw proves Kilgallen, a remarkable woman who broke the "glass ceiling" before the term became fashionable, was denied the justice she deserved, that is until now.
