After your first failed marriage you have to take a step back and figure out what the problem was not just jump into a marriage and make the same mistake again
@@mildredwilliams5715 my ex-wife and I were each other's first spouse. She remarried a month after our divorce and claims she wasn't having an affair . . . whatever. Her second marriage lasted four years until hubby #2 ran around on her . . . . She was his third wife. He cheated on his first two wives too.Can't make this Jerry Springer soap opera up. She divorced him and jumped into another relationship. They married a year later.
At 2 minutes 6 seconds you state "...this may be the reason widows and widowers do not get remarried later in life" . I am widowed but we were still married when she passed, and was under the impression that i can still collect the survivor benefit from my late wife when i remarry in a few months. Is my impression correct? I'm hoping you were referring to divorced folks whose ex has passed.
The survivor benefit is interesting because I believe it allows deferring my benefit. Problem is how do you know or find out an ex has passed? Stalk them? Send them a card "How are you feeling today?" I was wondering if applying for survivor benefit a few times a year and being denied would work. Or would applying be considered attempted fraud? It also brings up a dark side of an ex getting a fair amount of money should an ex get murdered. Scary everytime I start my car.
My ex and I have been trying to figure out the rules for her applying for 1/2 of my benefits because that will be far greater than 100% of hers. Married 29 years, divorced more than 2 years, but I am less than 62 and she is 66. How would they determine what the benefit would be? BTW we went to the Social Security office and they told us she could get 1/2 of what I get all the way up to when I was 70 (wrong answer) but she had to wait to apply till I did (wrong answer). Went to a financial planner and they told her if she applied now she could only get 100% of hers and would be locked in to hers (would lose access to 50% of mine).
This ignores the FV of investable assets not expended due to early SS withdrawal. The value of Pete's savings is approximately $315k which would yield another $20.5k at 6.5%.
I just applied for ss at my FRA. I’m divorced after being married for 22 years. I was told I could not collect on my exes work record bc I was born after 1954? What is the truth?
I was under the impression that if you have single status, you are eligible, even if that person has remarried then divorced again. If anyone knows, please let me know! Thanks!
Makin money can be easy by having a job, but making money out of money is a game, Learn the Game of money and always have money, even if you are not doing any job. thanks for the share :)~~~
My ex-wife is on her third husband in six years. She's on pace to have more rings than Tom Brady.
@@oldgoat50 keep going lol
I think we were both married to the same woman. Debbie
On pace?

Social Security is SO stacked in favor of married (or formerly married) people.

Interesting additional caveat in all this. If you remarry AFTER the age of 60, you are still eligible for the survivor benefit
After my father died my mother received an additional amount to her Social Security because she had never remarried

I've been divorced for 30 plus years.. can your ex draw on your current earnings or just the earnings during the marriage?
Because divorce keeps on giving .
Good vid tks!
What if he too is on ssdi and we divorce?

That's not accurate
Do you get to defer your benefit while you collect the spousal benefit?
I turn 60 this year (2024); my ex turned 62 Sept 2023. We divorced 5 years ago, Dec 2018. Can she claim/ apply for Spousal Benefit now?
Can you receive S S I IF YOU HAVE AN ESTATE ACCOUNT FROM YOUR MOTHER??????
I was married from 2004-2010. She remarried shortly after we divorced, is my ex entitled to my social security benefits?
Chris, as I understand things, once she remarries, she is no longer able to apply for spousal benefits based on your earnings record.

No ex should get the other's ex's SS for any reason. That should not even be an issue after someone gets reamed in the divorce, usually the man.
You do understand that you getting a benefit doesn't actually reduce your ex's benefit, right?
Based on what..if you married for 20yrs plus absolutely u should get something
Jealous much!!! 😂
go get therapy, you have displaced anger issues for something that isn't gonna HURT you at all, geez. and it works BOTH ways
i always said women got it made
