    It’s in fact very complex in this busy life to listen news on Television, thus I just use web for
    that reason, and get the most recent news. http://max-hrd.net/

    My situation was simple. I am single, have only a small pension, but significant assets from socking away money into retirements savings throughout my career. For me it made sense to wait on SS until age 70 as it is the one source of income I have that is not at the mercy of the stock/bond market, that is not money tied up in real estate, and that may actually have a cost of living increase from year to year. I see it as my solid income source, my security. Retirement savings and the pension are the “spare” money that will allow me to maintain a solid middle class life style without having to pinch and squeeze every nickel and dime, and my paid off house is my long term care insurance, to be sold if needed.

    I also worked well into my 60s before retiring, and was fortunate enough to retire when the stock market was booming during the few years I had to depend on savings for my main income (altho I also had a high paying contract job for half a year that helped tied me over too). Since I am entirely dependent on only my income in retirement and do not expect family to ever have to support me, I believe I made the right choice for my situation. Knowing when to retire really does depend on every individual’s specific situation!

    There is no better way for a government agency to stay connected to their people than through a blog.
    It helps us stay updated and understand what the government has in stock for us.
    Nice setup you have here.

    I have a tenant that was evicted. She is on SSD. How can I recover the money she owes us? I am told I cannot garnish her SSD which is a terrible policy. Those on SSD know this and use this to steal from unsuspecting landlords.

    I turned 66 on November 7, 2017. I started my SS draw then. ( first paymet was in Dec 2017 ) My wife stated here SS draw at age 62. She turned 65 on September 11. 2017. She has been recieving appox $345.00 per mo.

    Question. How much increase is she eligible to recieve today?

      I believe she will get 1/2 of yours but since she started hers early that half she gets will be reduced by 25%….thats assuming this new amount is more than her $345 she is getting now.
