My advice would be to spend less, but I'm funny that way. <br /><br />When my husband and I reach SS age, we'll take a look at the possibilities as they exist then. IMO, I think some of the strategies you read about now won't work in 10 years; SS needs money and those ways to work the system will probably be shut off, but if not...We may wait until my husband is 70, or we may work the numbers and let him keep working and collecting SS. We are going to have a college student in the family until I am 64 and my husband is 69 and I don't think we'll be able to pay tuition and retire at the same time, but we'll see.<br />RAnnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04102249990885174107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-316583760554792907.post-32388805552258105122015-03-09T21:39:42.397-07:002015-03-09T21:39:42.397-07:00Did you find anything helpful in the parents helpi...Did you find anything helpful in the parents helping kids article? When a financial advisor tells you that you cannot retire comfortably on 2.5 million, it is time for a new advisor. :) <br />I do love the articles that say, "just wait until you are seventy for SS". Not going to happen in this house. And the advice on the husband/wife taking SS is very slippery. Some of those rules were changed last year. I just don't know what to think about SS. I know what Hollywood thinks should happen with "House of Cards". A bit nerve racking at this point. Janettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10054888725603183006noreply@blogger.com
