Still hard to believe

and we wonder why Social Security is in trouble?

I can’t believe I just learned this.

A former client and friend called me a couple of weeks ago and said she had a Social Security check for 3,600 plus and didn’t know why. I said I didn’t either, let me figure it out. I found the answer quickly but for some reason had not remembered this or never knew it.

One man can generate over $19,000 per month in Social Security.

If a man is 78 and got married 2 years ago to his 5^th wife, and had been married to 4 other women for 10 years or more, for example,

-He married his College Sweetheart at 23. Ended at 34.

-Married his next wife at 36 divorced at 46.  Married at 50-divorced at 61.  Married at 64 divorced at 75.

-Married his dream girl at 77. Died 16 months later at 78.

-What happens with his $3,612.00 monthly Social Security payment?

1.      His current wife, since she was with him for over 10 months gets his $3,612 a month Social Security check.

2.      His 4^th wife has a $3,612 check show up in her mailbox.

3.      His third wife comes home from vacation, finds 2 checks stacked up for $7,224.

4.      Second wife $3,612.

5.      What do you think his first wife gets? Correct. $3,612.00

All told, taxpayers are paying out $18,060 per month for this one dead guy. Did you have any idea our government is so generous? I does not matter if an ex is worth 200 million dollars or $50,000 dollars. That is $216,720 per year for one guy. Times how many millions of ex-spouses who don’t have to prove they need it?

Have a great week! Better news coming soon!
