paulo 3,462 Posted December 27, 2021 I thought that you weren't officially old until your first question on arrival at any given place is "where's the toilet?" 1 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Be careful if you start drawing earlier than FULL retirement age, if you still plan on working... SSA has limits on how much you can earn annually until FULL retirement age, and they will suspend your payments if you earn above the income limit. After FULL retirement age, you are free to earn as much as you wish. But that last part kind of defeats the point of retirement, LOL! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No worries there...I couldn't get hired when I was in my 50's...and have multiple degrees and Certifications... so I'm good! I've been living on $180 a month for 5 years...so this will be like being RICH LOL! 5 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavlovsCat 1,517 Posted December 27, 2021 (edited) Congratulations, you're now officially a socialist! (It's a reference to some PMs Larry and I had a while back. Just having fun, but it is accurate.) Edited December 27, 2021 by PavlovsCat 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
