What he’s done
We’ve been following his blog Getting Your Financial Ducks In A Row for some time now. We also have referred to his online publication The IRA Owner’s Manual from time to time, with questions about inherited IRAs, etc. Jim knows his stuff.
Our Omission
Now, we admit that we’ve not paid much attention to Social Security because we are all still far from being eligible for it, and at the ME-P, we assume it won’t be here for us.
Nevertheless, when Jim published a new book A Social Security Owner’s Manual, we took the opportunity to learn more about Social Security.
And, we think, so should all medical professionals and their financial advisors.
Assessment
Jim provides expert guidance for retirement, education funding, and income tax issues, too. In addition to this all this, you’ll find Jim’s writings all around the internet, as he is a regular contributor to Forbes.com, TheStreet.com, and FiGuide. Several other sites also republish his work.
Conclusion
Your thoughts and comments on social security and this ME-P are appreciated. Feel free to review our top-left column, and top-right sidebar materials, links, URLs and related websites, too. Then, subscribe to the ME-P. It is fast, free and secure.

More on Medicare and Social Security
Stan – The oldest baby boomers will turn 66 this year. And, with all due apologies to Sir Paul McCartney, it’s a much more significant number than 64 for retirement planning.
And, as financial advisors know, when you’re 66, you can claim full Social Security benefits; 65 is a close runner-up, since it’s the year most seniors will file for Medicare.
