I agree, full Social security benefit sounds great. But I do not want to wait so much time…

Its surprising and alerting to know that a spouse’s early retirement may lower other spouse’s social security benefits! Can I do some future finance planning?

Good and well written article. Never trust the government to provide for you when your pension is due - keep saving money to top of any payment you are likely to receive. I

Some jobs are being outsourced and many are being given to foreign nations via the H1B and L1 visa programs . Eligible guest worker and training program dependents can work in even unskilled positions. The practical training programs available to international students (OPT and CPT) allow companies to employ someone without paying Social Security and Medicare taxes.Between the illegals and the guest workers there are millions of jobs that could be available for citizens if these programs were terminated and illegals were suddenly unemployed by workplace enforcement.When will our government put the US people before politics?

great post,I agree with the way of invest for retirement. It’s a great idea. Maybe everyone has a different opinion for the best sector of investment, but i agree with the idea not to look at the direction of the market to influence the decision.

Well, there won’t be any money left in social security since the government is just spending it all.

Are there posts you’ve made about that issue?

Hi. This is my first visit to your blog, but I was really impressed with your ideas on the retirement. you put forward a good point, so I decided to advise my parents to take a later retirement. it might be more wiser. Thanks, and I’ll definitely be back !

Both husband and wife should retire together and as late as possible to receive the maximum monthly Social Security checks. The same goes for corporate pensions too. The real retirement financial horror story of 2010 and the years to come, is plummeting home values! Go to zillow.com and see what your home is currently worth. Warning you may get sick!
I strongly suggest to my retirement age clients “Sell Your House Now”
Put the money in the bank, move to a local retirement community and buy a small home or condo, then just keep working at your jobs. The big myth is that you should retire at 65 and move to Florida. But by selling your McMansion now and moving to a local retirement home, you will not only get the most cash from your home that you will ever see, you can still keep your jobs, and as a bonus unlike retiring in Florida, you can still be close to your children and grandchildren.
