About Our GuestÂ
After a thirty-eight-year career within the financial services industry, Mike Drak experienced what he has now termed “retirement shock”. As a result, Mike spent the next 6 years doing research about retirement which resulted in his best-selling books “Longevity Lifestyle by Design” and “Victory Lap Retirement” based on his realization that full-stop retirement doesn’t work for most people.” Mike works with his wife, an investment advisor, to help clients design a fulfilling retirement.
Along with being a best-selling author, Mike is also a public speaker and retirement lifestyle designer. He has received awards for his writing, and you can find his articles at Booming Encore.Â

Listener QuestionÂ
I am trying to get information on spousal benefits and just watched your episode 12, excellent presentation. My husband is 73 and began taking SS benefits at full retirement age. I am now 66 and eligible for my own full retirement benefit, but a financial advisor recommended filing for the spousal benefit until switching to my own (higher) benefit at age 70. Do we both need to be born before 1953 for me to have this option? If you can answer, that would be so helpful since it is very difficult to get an appointment with SSA
