How to maximize the amount you are eligible for
How to avoid common mistakes people make when claiming their benefits
How to optimize your assets to minimize or avoid paying taxes on your Social Security benefits
How much income you can make and still draw Social Security

HEAR WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT AFEA CLASSES

I met with Jeff and Greg about a year ago because I was very concerned about my financial future and wondered if I would have enough money to retire. At our free strategy session they shared some ideas and strategies with me that I had no idea existed! Because of their thoughtfulness and superior knowledge and skills, I am now receiving a monthly Social Security check of over $2,000 a month! These wonderful, thoughtful, and caring guys have made it possible for me to retire in May 2016 and realize my dream of moving south. ~ Marilyn M. Erie Chapter AFEA
