    The thought of retirement makes me cry. My apologies to everyone who have retired and filing social security during this time after putting in all those years of work just to lose everything to a problem you weren't to blame for.it's especially difficult for people who are retired.

      True, It has never been easier to understand how to build your money after retirement than it is right now with the inflation, when you may study and experience a completely variegated market passively by employing a successful portfolio-advisor. The impacts of the U.S. dollar's gain or fall on investments, in my opinion, are complex.

      Even if you’re not skilled, it is still possible to hire one. I was a project manager and my personal portfolio of approximately $850k of my retirement pension took a big hit in April due to the crash. I quickly got in touch with a financial-planner that devised a defensive strategy to protect and profit from my portfolio this red season. I’ve made over $250k since then.

    The utilization of after-tax money and tax-free growth makes opening a Roth IRA very advantageous. Through a careful guidance of my FA, I did not pay taxes on my withdrawals of $2.86 million when I retired.

This was jan2024 and I am still waiting for a decision. Meanwhile they billed me thousands of dollars and at the same time I can’t use medical insurance as they made it in active. I was told not to pay anything until a decision is made. I can’t believe I have not used Medicare and I am already having this major headache all b/c date was wrong.

    One of the female hosts seem especially excited about the ability to draw SS based on an ex-spouse's record (if it is a much higher-earning ex-spouse). However, the part the expert did not have time to explain is that the potential benefit is limited to 1/2 (50%) of what the ex-spouse draws. Unless a person was mostly a "stay-at-home" mom or dad for most of their lives drawing off their own SS earnings record is usually higher due to the 1/2 (50%) ceiling.

    This is false information. It is the same amount of money you just get less per year if you opt for age 62 but it will be the same long term. You may get less if you opt to wait and then don't live long enough. 62-67 is five years. If the benefits were 20K a year that is 100K dollars. If your monthly payment isn't enough to make your budget work then wait but otherwise you may need to live a LONG time to equal that lost five years.
