Is the Maximizing Social Security Game Worth It?

aforementioned 32 percent bonus. I have written a fact sheet that explains these strategies in more detail. If you want a free electronic copy, send me an email at thomas.margenau@comcast.net. (This is the same fact sheet I’ve offered several times before in this column. So if you’ve sent for and received the fact sheet in the past, it’s the same version as the one I’m still offering today. There is no need to ask for another copy.) The good news about my fact sheet is that it is free. The bad news is that to find out if and how these strategies could work for you, you would have to get out your calculator and run the numbers yourself. But there are a growing number of businesses that will provide you with software programs or other services for a fee to help you make the calculations. I don’t want to mention or endorse any of these outfits, but a simple Google search using key words like “maximize Social Security” should lead you to any number of these enterprises. Or better yet, you can check out a recent Wall Street Journal story headlined “”Financing your future: how to maximize your Social Security benefits.” WSJ tested and rated five of these maximizing services. They used a fictional couple: Bob and Wendy, both of whom are turning 66 and

both of whom are eligible for their own retirement benefits. Bob’s monthly rate is $2,182 and Wendy will get $815. They assumed that both Bob and Wendy would live until age 85. The Journal reports that using the five different programs, and the various maximizing strategies suggested by each, Bob and Wendy would get projected Social Security benefits over the next 19 years (age 66 to 85) of anywhere between $763,222 to $773,500. The WSJ article obviously goes into much more detail than I am providing here. But one thing the Wall Street Journal didn’t do is factor in a sixth scenario: no maximizing strategy at all. In other words, they didn’t tell you what Bob and Wendy would have received had Bob simply filed for retirement benefits at age 66, and Wendy filed for a combination of her own retirement and spousal benefits at the same age. And the answer to that question is $746,244. I am making this point to stress that these maximizing strategies aren’t really going to make you rich. To be sure, assuming you live to a ripe old age, you will end up netting maybe $20,000 or $30,000 more over two decades than you would had you simply filed for Social Security benefits in the regular manner. But you have to ask yourself if that extra money is worth the risk.

And the risk is this: “Are you going to live until that ripe old age?” For example, in several of the strategies suggested by the Social Security maximizing services, Bob would file and suspend and thus not get any Social Security benefits until age 70. In other words, he is essentially throwing away $2,182 per month for four years gambling that he will live until his mid 80s to beat the system. And if he has a heart attack and dies at age 69, what then? Well, then Bob would have lost the Social Security gamble. As I’ve reported before in the column, throughout my 40-year career of working on Social Security issues, both as an employee of the Social Security Administration and now as a columnist, I have met or communicated with thousands of widows who told me that their husband delayed benefits (usually until age 70) because he expected to live until his 90s. But then he died in his early 70s and each widow usually told me something like this: “Gosh, I wish he would have retired earlier so we would have had a chance to enjoy our retirement together.” And in that same 40year career, I have never once run into an 85 year old who came up to me and shouted with joy: “I did it! I lived long enough to beat the system!” I’m not saying those folks aren’t out there.

Tom Margenau ave aging baby boomers turned into greedy geezers? Or are they just being wise and prudent with their Social Security benefits. I’m talking about a trend I’ve discussed many times in this column: Recent and near-term retirees are gaming the Social Security system (some might call it gambling) to squeeze every last nickel out of their Social Security benefits. They are primarily employing two specific strategies to maximize their Social Security payout. One, generally called file and suspend, allows a 66-year-old retiree to apply for Social Security retirement benefits, but then immediately suspend those payments, usually so that a lower-earning spouse can claim benefits on his or her record. So the lower-earning spouse gets up to half of the retiree’s rate, even while the retiree’s benefits are in suspense. At 70, the retiree “unsuspends” benefits and gets his or her full retirement rate plus a 32 percent bonus. The other strategy, known as the restricted application rule, allows a 66-year-old higher-earning potential retiree to claim 50 percent of a lower-earning spouse’s Social Security until age 70, at which point the retiree would switch to his or her own benefits — and they would come with the

Invest in your vision for retirement

T

Steps to Take Are you focused on a bright, happy, clear future or a retirement clouded by poor vision? The picture may be up to you. “Up to 50% of all blindness in the U.S. is preventable—if people would pursue prompt diagnosis and treatment,” notes Dr. Brett Rhode, Head of Ophthalmology at a major local medical center. His partner at Eye Care Specialists, one of the state’s leading ophthalmology practices, Dr. Daniel Ferguson, adds, “Planning and investing in regular eye check-ups can benefit your sight, attitude, freedom and bank account.” For example, age-related vision impairment is a leading cause of disability and nursing home placement. It creates increased expenses in terms of doctor visits, special transportation, medical supplies and services. Vision loss also causes: difficulty doing tasks (cleaning, cooking, reading, seeing to take medicine, etc.); an increase in injuries, falls and car accidents; social issues (fear, withdrawal, depression, anger); and loss of freedom (to drive, shop, work, play, etc.) As such, Eye Care Specialists offers the following tips for seeing life to the fullest—now and in the future: ■ Schedule comprehensive, dilated eye exams.

Have a complete exam every 2-4 years ages 40-64 and every 1-2 years after age 65 (unless there are specific risk factors) to check for cataracts, glaucoma, macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, and other conditions. ■ Talk to your doctor. Discuss your concerns. Ask questions (see suggestions at right). ■ Follow surgery/treatment recommendations. ■ Be an informed partner in your own care. Educate yourself. Read about disease symptoms and the latest diagnostic tools and treatment procedures.

Questions to Ask

Make yourself an informed partner in your family's eye care. Ask questions such as: ■ What is my visual acuity (on the 20/20 scale)? ■ Do I have any eye diseases or disorders? ■ What caused my condition? Is it hereditary? ■ How will this condition affect my vision

and lifestyle—now and in the future?

■ Should I watch for any particular

symptoms and notify you if they occur?

■ What kinds of tests do I need? Why? When? ■ What is the best medical/surgical treatment for me? ■ When will treatment start, and how long will it last? ■ What are the risks, side effects, benefits

and success rates of this treatment?

■ Are other treatments available? ■ Are there foods, drugs, or activities

I should avoid while I'm being treated?

■ If my treatment includes taking a medication,

what should I do if I miss a dose?

■ Will changing my diet, exercise or other lifestyle

habits help improve my condition? Would eyerelated vitamin & mineral supplements be helpful?

■ If my vision can’t be corrected, can you refer me

ne xt Hard Times Call for Soft Skills: Five Ways to Lessen Your Stress

By: Marilynn Preston o matter your politics, party or pulse rate, panic is in the air. The market is tanking, jobs are scarce, civility has left the building arm-in-arm with common sense, and top economists are telling us that things will get worse before they get better. It’s going to get worse? Have you ever felt so much tension, seen so much dissension as our government rises to new levels of dysfunction every day? Our collective nerves are shot. Our national migraine won’t go away. What can we do?

N

EXERCISE! There’s no better way to deal with stress. Go

out for a run. Jump on your bike. Dance like you really mean it. Indulge in a mix of physical fun at least five times a week. Exercise helps fight depression, and the only side effects are more flexibility and greater strength.

If you feel too anxious, too jumpy to work out, get your shorts and sneakers on anyway and tell yourself you’ll quit after 10 minutes if you’re not feeling better. You will feel better. Why? Because you’re moving energy, you’re breathing deeply, you’re cooling your brain. Exercise won’t solve our national crisis — unless we mandate it for everyone, a minimum of 30 minutes a day! — but it helps us cope better.

MEDITATE.

Meditation is mainstream now. It’s not a religion, it’s not dependent on a relationship with God, Buddha or Shiva, it’s just an ancient and proven technique for quieting your mind.

From that place, stress melts, tension dissolves, and you can discover a new perspective for dealing with old problems. When you sit quietly for 10 to 20 minutes a day and listen to your breath, or repeat a mantra that can be as simple and secular as “peace” or “love,” you stop the endless narrative of your thinking mind and approach a calmer state that is associated with feelings of joy and bliss. Find a quiet place. Sit comfortably. Close your eyes. Relax. Listen to the sound of your breath. When your mind wanders — and it will — notice your thought, and let it go. Begin again. You won’t know how much better meditation can make you feel until you try it for a week or two.

KEEP A JOURNAL.

Buy a notebook. Don’t tell anyone, but call it your Gratitude Journal. Before you go to bed at night, write down all the things that you are grateful for. Do I have to prime the pump? An unexpected kiss. The strength to walk two miles. The freedom to think, to read, to learn, to grow.

Instead of focusing on what’s wrong, take a few minutes to dwell on what happened in your day that made you smile, that lifted your spirits, that touched your heart. Yes, this sounds soppy and sentimental. Many psychologists believe that happiness is a learned skill. It can begin with a gratitude journal. Again, this is not a cure-all. It’s a coping mechanism. Everything changes. Until things get better, be grateful for what you have.

DISCONNECT FROM DISTRESS. Let’s face it — the news is depressing. And yet, it’s like

seeing a dead deer next to the road. It’s almost impossible to look away. So give yourself permission to do the impossible. Look away. No one is forcing you to watch bad news TV or follow the scandalous flow of Internet effluvia. Turn it off! Use the time to read a good book, memorize a poem, play Scrabble with a friend. In other words, distract yourself from that which distresses you. It’s OK. It’s better than OK. It’s a strategy for feeling better. At the same time, engage in positive and practical ways to make a difference. Just now coming ...

ENGAGE IN SOMETHING UPLIFTING. One of the best ways to take your mind off your trou-

bles, or at least see them from a new perspective, is to help other people less fortunate than yourself. Practice kindness. Volunteer in the cancer ward of a hospital. Serve meals in a homeless shelter. Help a disadvantaged child learn to read. Work in a community garden, and bring your bounty to a local pantry. There’s no end of opportunities to help others. It’s selfish, I admit, but someone’s got to do it.

Senior Life

Life Gets Better With Age

Our confidence grows: We are more certain about ourselves. We become

less interested in comparing ourselves with others.

We get better at relationships: We conduct our relationships with greater

efficiency. We become more open as we try not to repeat past mistakes.

We handle decision-making with less frenzy: The hard-earned benefits of

hindsight add up. Our lived experience replaces guessing.

Our courage becomes nimble and diverse: We are less afraid of adversity,

having “been there, done that.”

We become more interested in others: Generosity and

sympathy become more valued traits as we all face the same fundamental predicaments. Our spirituality deepens: The search for meaning becomes more urgent. Petty concerns recede to the background. We become more vivacious: The young cannot see the exciting developments going on inside of elders. Those who have death in sight are determined to live life to the fullest. We slow down and see further: Elderly radiance comes from becoming more alive. Unexpected pleasures become abundant: We no longer squander our time, because time has become precious currency.

The Doctor-Patient Dance: You Take the Lead

By Marilynn Preston ew of us enjoy going to the doctor, especially if you have something scary, like symptoms. A stabbing knee pain. A nagging chest pain. A headache that keeps coming back, no matter how much Tylenol you take. Though your symptoms may vary, the goal is the same: You want to feel better, fast. And you want your physician to figure out what’s wrong (also fast). That’s why Dr. Jerome Groopman’s eye-opening book, “How Doctors Think,” is so valuable for people on the path to a healthier, happier lifestyle. He teaches us to be better, more aware patients. He recognizes that doctors are far from perfect when it comes to diagnosing our problems. They make mistakes, and the majority of errors they make are not technical screw-ups, but rather errors in thinking. Doctors are under great pressure to perform, and perform quickly. Like the rest of us, they jump to conclusions they’re comfortable with. They ignore facts that don’t fit. They have egos and emotions that cloud their judgment and lead them astray. So, given human nature, how can you improve your medical care? That’s what Groopman’s book is all about. Here are some highlights:

F

] BE A PARTNER. You can’t be passive, shy or

intimidated by your doctor, Groopman insists. Instead, be involved. A doctor-patient relationship works best when it’s a partnership. “Patients and their loved ones can be true partners with physicians when they know how their doctors think, and why doctors sometimes fail to think.”

] TRUST YOUR INSTINCTS. If you

sense the white-coated one is rushing through your exam, not listening to your story, pay attention. It’s an instinct to be honored. “Research shows that patients do pick up on a doctor’s negativity, but few understand how that affects their care, and rarely change doctors.” Groopman’s advice? Change doctors! Preston’s advice? Find an integrative doc trained in best practices of Western and Eastern medicine.

] DON’T BE PIGEONHOLED. Doc-

ne xt

] ASK QUESTIONS.

“What we say to a physician and how we say it sculpts his thinking. That includes not only our answers, but our questions.” You can influence your doctor’s thinking — even get it back on track — by asking certain key questions:

“What else could it be?” “Is there anything that doesn’t fit?” “Is it possible I have more than one problem?” If your doctor doesn’t have time for your questions and isn’t capable of giving clear answers, say goodbye, and find one who does.

] SLOW DOWN THE PROCESS. Studies have shown that physicians, on average, give their patients 18 seconds to tell their story before they interrupt. It takes longer than that to bait a hook. If your doc is distracted during your time together, be polite but speak up. “The inescapable truth is that good thinking takes time. Working in haste and cutting corners are the quickest routes to cognitive errors.”

] BEWARE OF CORRUPT PRACTICES. It’s shocking but

true: Some doctors get financial incentives or kickbacks to prescribe certain drugs or perform suspect surgeries. Hysterectomies were nearly a national sport before women woke up to underlying causes. Find your voice, advises Groopman. Ask hard questions, pursue second opinions and distrust any doctor who tries to turn the natural aging process into a disorder.

The U.S. medical system — with all its flaws and fractures — is there to help you. But if you’re not careful, and even if you are, it can hurt you. It’s not pretty, but it’s the truth. The best defense is a good offense. Find a doctor you trust and respect and can partner with. Be involved. Ask questions. And think about reading “How Doctors Think” before your next appointment. Marilynn Preston — fitness expert, well-being coach and speaker on healthy lifestyle issues — is the creator of Energy Express, the longest-running syndicated fitness column in the country.

tors think in stereotypes, like the rest of us: the hysterical housewife, the overworked executive. If you think your doctor is pigeonholing you and not paying enough attention to who you really are and what you’re really saying, call him on it. Humor will help.

] BE INFORMED. Groopman believes it’s per-

fectly OK, even beneficial, to learn everything you can about your case “and respectfully question each and every assumption about the diagnosis and treatment.” You do this not because you don’t trust the doctor or hospital, Groopman writes, “but because God did not make people omniscient.”

CLEMENT MANOR expands continuum of care and commitment to brain health

A

new program designed for those with a diagnosis of early memory loss or dementia is starting in November. This four hour program will help those who want to enhance their memory and brain function and provide a respite opportunity for caregivers. This program is the latest addition to the Clement Manor continuum of care. Clement Manor has been in the business of providing services that allow residents and people in the community to age in place, especially those with memory loss. From lifelong learning programs to Long-term Memory Care, all of the services someone needs to experience healthful aging can be found on the Clement Manor campus. The Clement Manor Center for Enrichment and Life Long Learning is a place where older adults can gather to stay active, healthy and continue to learn. This Center provides opportunities for education, wellness and spiritual growth while encouraging social interaction – all components of maintaining a healthy lifestyle. Classes vary from water fitness and yoga to lectures and discussions about the Supreme Court, Comparative Religions, Art and Music. What makes the Center for Enrichment so unique is its long history of collaborating with volunteer instructors. The Center’s roots run deep with this concept as it used to be the LaFarge Life-

16 | NEXT 2013

long Learning program hosted by the School Sisters of St. Francis. When the program moved to Clement Manor, the format and quality of programming stayed the same. The Center is always looking for volunteer instructors who are willing to share their passion and/or expertise with older adults. This type of community volunteering provides a rewarding exchange, indeed. Take a tour of this faith-based facility and find out for yourself why the American Health Care Association recognizes the staff and services as an extraordinary example of quality. Contact Clement Manorat (414) 321-1800 or visit its website at www. clementmanor.com. Located in Greenfield at 92nd Street and Howard Avenue.

Services include:

• Center for Enrichment and Life Long Learning • Child Day Care • Adult Day Services • Early Memory Loss Program • Short Term Rehabilitation • Assisted Living • Independent Living • Skilled Nursing/Long Term Care • Memory Care Specialty

Tudor Oaks “Senior Moments” - The Memory Issue

W

here are my keys? Did I buy what I actually stopped at the store for? What day is it? Remember the days when you never asked these questions because “senior moments” were not part of the normal day. If you are reading this article because you are concerned about your ability to recall, you may not have to worry. Surveys show that if you are concerned about memory loss it is most likely due to a stressful time, aging, illness or distraction. However, those who do not worry about memory loss are more likely to be suffering from dementia. According to a John Hopkins Special Report on age-associated memory impairment there are a number of things you can do to improve the chances of keeping your memory sharp. • Stay mentally active – learn something new, volunteer, do crossword puzzles, read. • Stay physically active – exercise increases the blood flow to the brain resulting in clear thinking. Walking or an exercise program for 30 minutes a few days a week is all it takes. • Rule out other causes of memory loss – check with your doctor memory loss could be due to a medication, hearing loss, depression, thyroid dysfunction, vitamin deficiency or stress which are all treatable. • Do not smoke – smokers over age 65 are 3.7 times more likely to experience mental decline. • Limit alcohol consumption – experts recommend no more than one drink a day for women and two per day for men. • Place commonly lost items in the same spot – get into the habit of putting your keys, glasses or other important items in

the same location every time. • Write things down – keep a to do list and add numbers or important dates as necessary. • Say words out loud – hearing can increase recall. Repeating a persons name right away can help you remember. ..“Hello Mary, it is nice to meet you”. • Group items using mnemonics – which is a technique used to enhance memory. Associate what you are trying to remember with something that is familiar or paint a mental picture until you see it clearly. Try to alphabetize a list or put it to song. • Use memory aids – notepads, cell phone alarms and voice recorders can all assist in keeping track of important information. • Use visual images – to remember a name create a story and picture the person acting out their name. Mrs. Baker could be making a batch of cookies. • Stop worrying – Concentrate and relax. Use a deep breathing or muscle relaxing technique to keep the stress and anxiety levels low so you can think clearly. Age associated memory loss is common and is not necessarily a sign of a serious neurologic disorder. See your doctor with any ongoing concerns you may have. Build the above suggestions into your day and create an atmosphere for creative thinking, learning and activity. The more you challenge your mind the sharper it will remain. Tudor Oaks Retirement Community encourages you to design your retirement to keep your mind healthy and clear. Call 414-5256500 to set up a tour and explore ways to keep that memory sharp!

Rent A Daughter

F & S Direct

T

he Little Things Can Become Big…and Expensive. As we age, little things like getting up from your favorite chair or stepping into your bath tub are no longer taken for granted. Think about it…when you step into your tub do you try to support yourself with a flimsy towel bar? One slip can result in an injury that can derail your dream of staying in your home. One-third of people age 65 and over suffer from falls every year. With the average cost of assisted living in Wisconsin being over $42,000, the financial consequences can also be devastating. Dennis F., 67, said that his parents, “took sponge baths for years because they couldn’t get in and out of the bath tub. I’m finding out now that a lot of seniors my age have the same problem.” The good news is that you can reduce your risk of falling with easy home modifications. According to Sean Flannick of Walk-In Tubs Of Wisconsin, “Whether it’s installing a walk-in bath tub, replacing your current tub with a shower, or just installing a few grab bars, you can take action to maintain your independence. Regardless of budget, there are solutions. A small investment in yourself now can help you maintain an active lifestyle for years to come.” To learn more you can contact Sean at 262-443-3950 or visit www.WalkInTubsOfWisconsin.com.

ADVICE FOR SENIORS

Q

: We moved to a retirement community seven years ago and are happy here. However, the monthly maintenance fees have doubled, and we are concerned about future increases. We live on Social Security and a small retirement income. Can we afford to stay? What are our choices?

A

: List exactly how you now spend your money. Do not wait until the increases come and force you to bail out. Think options! They are always on the table and can make things doable. Can you cut expenses? Consider a part-time job. Check out selling and renting. Cut food expenses by ordering Meals On Wheels. Seek entertainment and socializing at your senior center. Check your newspaper’s classified ads to find paying work. Do neighbors or friends need help with their yards or housekeeping? Shop the dollar and charity stores. Reasonably priced items and good values are often found there. Do your utilities offer seniors lower rates? Perhaps there is even the possibility of a part-time job at your homeowners office. Be creative and discover your options. They exist!

Q

: Over the years, my wife and I have purchased two small duplexes. Inflation and excellent locations have increased their value. Our only grandson has been working part time as a bank teller for the past two years, but he is not upbeat about his future there. He has a winning personality and people skills. We pay a rental management company nearly $15,000 a year for its services. Does it make sense to hire our grandson to take over the management?

A

: Go slowly! Dealing with the family, jealousies, managing him, excusing his mistakes and giving advice he will accept requires more patience than you can imagine. Sometimes you, as the boss, won’t be satisfied with his performance. What do you do then?
