What’s the biggest retirement mistake you can make? Not taking full advantage of your Social Security benefits. And it’s a mistake that almost every retiree makes.

But Social Security also comes with pitfalls, and the wrong choice can leave you poorer for the rest of your life.
Luckily, America’s #1 retirement expert, Bob Carlson, editor of the popular Retirement Watch newsletter and website, is here to help with an easy-to-follow guide to getting the most out of your Social Security benefits. You’ll learn:
• The right time to claim your benefits—and why timing is key
• Whether you should take a lump sum benefit
• How to minimize your total tax bill with smart Social Security choices
• Why working can sometimes decrease your benefits
• How to calculate your “longevity risk” so you never run out of money
• When you can change your benefits claim, and when you can’t
• Why you can’t depend on the Social Security Administration for good advice—or even correct information
• And much, much more!
