Social Security: The Best and Worst Years To Be Born

[llmart]

28. My situation is almost exactly the same as yours.

I was born in 1949. I got 50% of my ex's Soc. Sec. I actually do know what my ex gets per month. He was a high wage earner and worked until he was 70. I have the added bonus of getting 50% of his retirement benefit since he had a defined benefit plan and I was awarded spousal support for the rest of his life. When he stopped working he thought the spousal support would end, but they take my spousal support out of his Social Security check.
