The Motley Fool recently released an analysis that suggests that people who have successfully used Social Security benefits could receive a $16,728 bonus. This bonus might not seem trivial to anyone, but The Motley Fool’s investment philosophy has always been focused on helping people to save more money to retire comfortably.
The article highlights how those who have used Social Security benefits over a lifetime can receive significant rewards from the government, depending on their choices. Social Security is designed to provide retirement benefits to those who have paid into the system over their lifetime, but it’s important to understand how to optimize such benefits to ensure maximum rewards.
According to the article, one of the best ways to achieve a bonus from Social Security is through “spousal benefits.” By claiming these benefits, married couples can potentially receive more than $16,000 a year in Social Security payments. To qualify, you need to be at least 62 years old and have been married to your spouse for more than 10 years, or if you’re a widow(er), it can be less.
Another way to maximize Social Security is by delaying your payments. If you wait until your full retirement age, you can receive a bigger chunk of Social Security benefit than if you take it early. Additionally, if you hold off claiming benefits until 70, you can receive even more money.
To achieve this level of bonus claiming this Social Security benefit, you can work with financial advisors to help you make the most of your benefits strategy. Some may want to file benefits early, whereas others may prefer to wait in hopes of getting more money down the road.
In summary, Motley Fool’s $16,728 Social Security Bonus offers great value for those who have successfully used Social Security benefits and want to optimize their investments. By identifying suitable options for claiming the benefits, retirees could receive a valuable financial boost that will enhance their retirement prospects. Ultimately, this additional sum could be a considerable factor in feeding your nest egg and funding your retirement.
Appreciate you taking the bullet for us. MF misleading the people is trickery no matter if there may be good info in there or not.
Thanks for info.
Thank you for confirming my experience. Yes, this video I found to be very informative.
I was medically retired at 55 years old and I'm about to turn 65, will my SS check be increased because I'll be 65
Where'd you go? I just saw this and it's from a year ago! Is like more.
Thanks, Devin! I've seen their link many times and have probably even clicked on it a time or two hoping to find out what it is all about. If I can last through all of the "wind-up" I usually bomb out at the sign-up pitch. It's a shame that Motley Fool has to resort to click-bait tactics but they now forever on my "don't go there" list. 🙁
Thanks Devin, I too have seen this add and followed it but never paid the fee. So thank you for sharing this information that can be used by only a few folks…love your videos always very informative.
Thank you. I only wish I'd known earlier before I was sucked in. I'm single so it didn't apply to me. I didn't see anything about the money back guarantee. I was so discussed and even though you say there is some good info. I still think it is/was deceptive and the Motley Fooled me. They lost their integrity and respect as far as I'm concerned.
Talked too much without touch the key point.
Devin, Thank you very much for shedding light on this “mystery”.
I
Can’t understand IRS and Minnesota taxing my social security??? Inflation, food, gas, and household heat prices really hurt???
Can't the info or "report" be obtained through a government website?
funny how they won't have money for SS… but plenty for the moochers and leaches of society…. welfare, illegals, etc.
Motley Fools are just that. Fools trying to take your money. They should be arrested for stock pumping. Their click bait ads should be taken down.
LOL, Its right there "Fool" is in the name. Plenty of good free info out there. Why subscribe and then spend more time trying to cancel within 30 days.
What's the bottom line?
Thank you Devin!
Saw this and figured it was click bait….. still think it is…. Still enjoyed your post
Thanks for paying the $99 and figuring this out for all of us. I had hit the "enter your email" step to view our wondrous $16k trick and backed off figuring it was a scam.
This is typical MBA thinking… It will generate a lot of $99 payments while simultaneously pissing off a bunch of people who used to think highly of Motley Fool… But by the time the hit to MF's reputation becomes evident, the MBA who thought this up will have implemented his "exit strategy" and slithered out the door. The US may be losing its technical edge but at deceptive marketing we still rule.
My aunt works for the IRS she says don't believe this guy
Thanks for the information!
I think you are the best source of information we have. Thank you sir.
Just want to add my thanks for this.
Yes! I am a member of Motley Fool and am conflicted about their aggressive click baiting and up selling. Yet, there is value.
Thanks –you got my subscription
I am so frickin' tired of clickbait.
Teams sitting around in conference rooms thinking of new "products" to sell for $$$. Remember the mortgage crisis 2008? – Thank a team for that product!
What if I win lottery? Do I have to pay it back?
OK Fuck the Motley Fool , and fuck this video
