How to Live Well on Social Security
How to Live Well on Social Security is a soon to be released book that explains to the millions of Americans who are facing retirement with Social Security as their primary source of income how they can improve their lives and take full advantage of all Social Security has to offer. Author Rick Todd draws upon his experience writing for retirees and investors to create a book that deals realistically with one of America’s greatest economic challenges. It will be released in February 2011.
The book contains a comprehensive overview of Social Security and its rules. It also looks at different strategies a person can take in order to increase their benefits, and discusses how delaying taking Social Security can increase the amount of money you get from the government for the rest of your life.
“I wrote this book to help those who are facing retirement with Social Security as their only or majority source of income,” said author Rick Todd. “Millions of Americans are facing the prospect of retirement with a very reduced income. This book details common sense ways to increase your retirement income and make adjustments in your lifestyle that can save you money. Many retirees have a tough road ahead of them, but this book aims to help.”
In addition to its overview of Social Security and its regulations, How to Live Well on Social Security contains significant ways to increase your standard of living. By reducing your spending and by moving to parts of the country or overseas where the tax burden is lower you can dramatically improve your budget even while spending far less money.
“Those who are about to retire and those in retirement are facing a time of great uncertainty,” said author Rick Todd. “Americans have put their savings in the stock market and gotten very little in return. I’ve put into How to Live Well on Social Security a comprehensive look at Social Security and how it works, and combined that with strong common sense advice on how to lower your expenses. Living on Social Security alone can be tough, but if you’re smart and prepared, it can be a lot easier than you think.”
