[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]You want your wife to have as much as possible/month after you are gone. [/quote] [quote=Anonymous]The wife still has to reach retirement age to take the spousal benefit if OP is alive.[/quote] [quote=Anonymous]when he dies ... SS payment/month ... needs to be as big as possible [unless] he takes early and invests it, and can do better than 8% guaranteed return.I would play the SSi card the safe way and claim at 70.[/quote] Yikes, this is a clusterfunk of bad info. Spouses get benefits if they care for children under 16. The golddigger widow get 75% of the primary benefit plus continuing child benefits. She should poison his tea. OP posted math to show a 4-6% return pays more than the extra $1,000/month and leaves $275k extra when he dies. You don't need 8%! You can even take Social Security Family Benefits at age 62 if you are not working. If you are working then they reduce your benefits and tax away most of your income.[/quote]
