Book description
Audiobook Review - Get What's Yours: Revised & Updated by Laurence J. Kotlikoff
If you've ever felt lost in the labyrinth of Social Security rules, this audiobook is your compass. In a clear, conversational tone, Kotlikoff and his co-authors-financial commentator Moeller and public-television analyst Solman-break down more than 2,700 individual rules into bite-size, actionable advice. They show how a single misstep can cost retirees thousands of dollars, making the book an essential guide for anyone approaching retirement age.
What sets this edition apart is its timely update: changes that took effect in April 2016 are woven throughout, emphasizing the now greater benefit of waiting until 70 to claim Social Security when possible. The new chapter on Medicare's impact on Social Security decisions adds another layer of practical insight often missing from other personal-finance texts.
The audiobook shines with real stories and relatable scenarios-married couples, divorced retirees, widows, disabled workers, parents of dependent children-and even addresses tax implications and how these choices interact with other investments. Each chapter feels like a mini-workshop, offering clear "what to do" steps rather than abstract theory.
With over 52 million Americans aged 54-69, and thousands reaching full retirement age daily, Get What's Yours is more than just a book-it's an indispensable tool for anyone who wants to maximize their benefits and avoid costly mistakes. Whether you're planning your own future or helping family members navigate the system, this audiobook delivers knowledge in a way that feels both engaging and empowering.
