Hi Jerome,

There is nothing wrong with helping your kids, our president sure shows he's in favor of that. It is a great way to build a legacy if you do it correctly. I'm quite impressed with how well Bill and Dave's kids (Bill and Dave, HP founders) turned out given their relatively great wealth of the time.

I also have several friends that have kids with special needs where they plan to have them cared for should the kids outlive them.

One factor to consider, if you are smart enough to plan to have the option to delay taking Social Security until age 70 and gamble you will live longer than the break-even date, then it probably means you were also smart enough to
  • Quit or not smoke
  • Quit or drink very, very little alcohol
  • Quit of consume very, very little added sugar
  • Exercise enough to get your hear rate up for 30 minutes a day plus
  • Do weight bearing exercise to maintain muscle mass, flexibility and balance

I have four of the five down cold but I'm still struggling with the added sugar.... as I love my nightly ice cream and seem to find to many "excuses" to have a piece of candy or cake at parties, etc...

With all the cures for cancer and other diseases feeling like they are less than 20 years away... getting another 20 years in a healthy body (to age 81 for me) could mean we have the technology to keep that fitness to age 100 by the time that happens. Thus, I'm shooting for age 70 to start taking SS.
