2026 Edition by Garrett Monroe
The Social Security Money Code
📘 They read you the rules. This book gives you the strategy.
Filing soon or already collecting, these decisions sets the check you, and your spouse, live on for the next 20 to 30 years.
Two people who paid in the same amount can end up with checks hundreds of dollars a month apart, just because of when and how they filed. Nobody at the Social Security office will tell you which option is best for you. They explain the rules. The strategy is on you.
This book lays it out in plain English, organized by situation, so you can see your real options before anything gets locked in.
- 📅 Know what claiming at 62, 67 or 70 does to every check
- 💍 Spousal, survivor and divorced-spouse benefits, explained
- 🏥 Keep more of each check from taxes and Medicare surprises
- 📖 Already collecting? The decisions still ahead of you

Who is this book for?
+
Anyone within a few years of retirement, already collecting, or helping a parent through it. Married, single, widowed or divorced, there is a chapter for your situation. No financial background needed.
I already claimed. Is it too late?
+
No. Claiming is one decision. How much of each check gets taxed, which account you draw from first, your Medicare costs, and survivor decisions are all still ahead of you, and the book covers each one.
Is it up to date?
+
Yes. This is the 2026 Edition, with 2026 figures such as the earnings limit for people still working before full retirement age.
Is this financial advice?
+
No. It explains the rules in plain English so you can see your own situation clearly before you file or talk to anyone. It does not tell everyone to claim at one age.
What if I don't like it?
+
Every order is covered by our 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're not satisfied, or your book arrives damaged, contact us within 30 days and we'll make it right.
You Only File Once
Read it before anything gets locked in.
The Social Security Money Code walks you through every decision that sets the size of your check: when to claim, what your spouse can collect, what happens to the survivor check, how much of each check can be taxed, and the Medicare deadline that comes before the Social Security one.
Not a textbook. Not a sales pitch for an advisor.
It is laid out by situation, so you go straight to the chapter that matches your life, get your answer, and decide with the full picture.
Because the Social Security office reads you the rules. This book gives you the strategy.

This book was very informative, its a great starting point into grasping how to manage retirement. All aspects of the money you have saved so hard for and how timing and from which basket to pull from makes a huge difference to what tax bracket you may fall into.

Easy read ,plenty of good information you need to know before you make the decision to retire. Would recommend to anyone close to the age of 60.
TRUSTPILOT REVIEWS
Wish I had this 5 years ago
I was about to file at 62 because everyone at work did. This book walked me through what waiting actually means for my monthly check. Easy to read, no confusing jargon.
Finally understand spousal benefits
My wife and I never knew how the spousal rules worked together. The examples made it click for both of us. We sat down with it over coffee two mornings in a row.
Good info, easy to understand
Great book, can't complain. Thought reading it would be a little hard but it was fairly simple. Worth it.
Bought one for my brother too
Read it in a weekend. It answered questions I’d been too embarrassed to ask. Ordered a second copy for my brother who’s turning 60.
Clear and practical
I’m not a numbers person at all and I still followed it. It explains the timing decision in plain English. Shipping took a bit but the book was worth the wait.
Helpful for planning ahead
I’m still a few years out, so I wanted to get ahead of it. Good overview of the choices and what to think about. I’d have liked a few more worksheets but overall solid.
Wish my HR department gave this out
I’ve read articles online for years and still felt lost. This put it all in one place in order. Most useful $50 I’ve spent on retirement planning.
Great for widows
After my husband passed I had no idea what survivor benefits looked like. The chapter on that was a big relief. Gave me the questions to bring to my appointment.
