What’s the Deal with Social Security for Women?

social security book for womenHot off the press! Marcia Mantell’s second book. Not only for women, but certainly directed toward them, this book covers a tremendous amount of ground about Social Security. And not in the usual technical, jargon-filled way. It’s as fun as one can make such a substantial law, and is filled with real world examples.

Social Security is the single most important, yet highly misunderstood, source of income for most Baby Boomers. Marcia Mantell helps you make sense of your benefits before it’s too late. Order your copy today!

Women Count on Social Security for Much of their Retirement Income

After decades of working or staying home to raise a family, it’s time to claim Social Security retirement benefits. But how much one receives depends on the answers to key questions. Over half of women claim too early, locking themselves into the least amount of monthly income. And, many don’t know they may be able to get more by claiming on an ex-spouse.

What They’re Saying About the Book

“Understanding the rules about Social Security benefits and when to start claiming Social Security can be difficult. But they’re critically important, especially for women — since women typically live longer lives than men. The new book, What’s the Deal With Social Security for Women?, by retirement consultant Marcia MacDonald Mantell, is extremely helpful…”
— Next Avenue Editors (3 Things Women Must Know About Social Security Benefits)

“Packed with real-life examples, the book brings Social Security’s convoluted rules to bear in a variety of real-life situations.”
— Jane Wollman Rusoff, ThinkAdvisor (What Divorced Women Should Know About Claiming Social Security)

“Retirement consultant and author Marcia Mantell joins our show. Among our many topics, Marcia tells listeners what husbands can be doing to ensure their wives get the maximum spousal benefits if they are widowed.”
– Gil Weinreich, Seeking Alpha, SA for FAs (Retirement Advisor: Marcia Mantell On What Women Need To Know About Social Security (Podcast))

“Hanover author looks to help other women with Social Security .”
— Audrey Cooney (Hanover author looks to help other women with Social Security)

Book Review of What’s the Deal with Social Security for Women?
— Susan Bumstead Chanley, Advisor Magazine (the review )

And, directly from the readers:

“This book is my new bible. Not only does it have a wealth of information about how and why we women need to understand our own finances, but Marcia writes in such an accessible way that it is fun as well as educational.”

“There is information about social security that no one else tells us.”

“It is well organized so you can skip around and find what you want to look at quickly. Though I recommend a full read through.”

“Make your notes and get your page markers ready, because you will refer to this book more than once.”

“Perhaps the greatest benefit is that real life situations facing women as they plan for retirement and how and when they should access their Social Security are at the core of the book”.

“It’s organized so that readers can skip to the chapters that are most relevant to their situations, whether they are married, divorced, widowed or single.”

“Marcia focuses on taking the mystery out of this important retirement income source and shows how Social Security works regardless of each woman’s life journey.”

“If you know me well, you would not expect me to read a book about Social Security, at least not without complaining! But, Marcia has written two pain-free, very helpful books aimed at people like me – who generally avoid thinking about finances…”

“Highly recommended, not only for women but for people of any gender”

“Every possible variation is covered: single, married, divorced, widowed, a lifetime of unpaid work so earned little or no Social Security, eager to retire early, etc. An yet, it reads like a breeze.”
