Social Security Seminar at Ocee

You are Cordially Invited to Attend a Complimentary Educational Workshop

"Savvy Social Security Planning:

What Baby Boomers Need to Know to

Maximize Retirement Income"

Learn the answers to your questions: 
·      Will Social Security be there for me? 
·      How much can I expect to receive?
·      When should I apply for Social Security? 
·      How can I maximize my benefits? 
·      Will Social Security be enough to live on in retirement?

After being told for years that Social Security is "going broke," baby boomers are realizing that it will soon be their turn to collect. But the decisions you make now can have a tremendous impact on the total amount of benefits you stand to receive over your lifetime.

This informative seminar covers the basics of Social Security and reveals strategies for maximizing your benefits.

At this workshop you will learn: 

• 5 factors to consider when deciding when to apply for benefits 
• When it makes sense to delay benefits -- and when it does not  
• Why you should always check your earnings record for accuracy
• How to estimate your benefits
• How to coordinate benefits with your spouse
• How to minimize taxes on Social Security benefits
• How to coordinate Social Security with your other sources of retirement income

Seating is limited. Please call to reserve your space.

“What a miracle it is that out of these small, flat, rigid squares of paper unfolds world after world after world, worlds that sing to you, comfort and quiet or excite you. Books help us understand who we are and how we are to behave. They show us what community and friendship mean; they show us how to live and die.”

Open Air Library

This open air library in Germany is a cool idea - it is built on a reclaimed industrial site and serves as park, library, concert hall, etc. for the neighborhood. It operates on the honor system, using donated books. You can read more and see more photos here.
