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.

The Book

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.

  2. 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.
