So I heard that Paul Revere was just using the lamp...
...to indicate the runway 27 outer marker at the local Continental Army Air Corps regional military airfield. I never knew this. I always learn something from FOX Snooze.
I need to go to bed....
...but the Doggers!. Top of the 15th 2-2. Great game. ZZZZ, Ill read about it.
Trying to navigate the Social Security Web Site...
...Is it unusual that you can't access the site unless it's within business hours?
Trying to figure out if I will benefit from the crap game of Social Security. My wife of 10 years (25 total years together) died on 3/21/2012.
I find myself with half of our income at age 65 and things are getting tight. I feel I should have applied earlier for her benefits but my thought was that the taxes on a working recipient would be crushing.
Is there anyone here that can direct me or give me advice on what I should do?
I'm only 10 months from my SS full benefit age and she was 56 when she died.
Should I apply for her benefits that would amount to less than 1k per month or take my early retirement at an estimated $1700 or $1800 when I reach full retirement age 66 in June 2019 and planning to work for 3+years at 45K per year?
The reason I ask is that navigating the SS web site and asking these questions on the web generally gives results from those who gain $ from these very questions.
Serious inquiry so, please, only help and informed opinions are requested.
Maybe I just need to go to the local SS Administration office for advice but I want to be informed when I do.
Thanks for any advice and anecdotes that may help.
