When my 80 year old mother has a financial dilemma, such as what to do with a CD coming due, ( that is something to worry about when you are 80 evidently lol! ), I always tell her just to be thankful she has the problem of what to do with her money. Many don't.

My own current dilemma is whether to have the wife start taking her pension when the county sells her place of employment Dec. 31st. Extra check every month to invest? I'm thinking along the lines of the difference in taking Social Security at 62 versus 65. My dad died at 64. I'll take the cash asap.

Since my plan is to be a kept man for another year, I need to find out what waiting one year would do to the monthly benefit. Better get on it since we are past mid November. Problem is that she has to make the inquiries, and she doesn't show any interest at all. I just don't get it. Maybe a promise of dinner and a movie?

Ah life. Nothing but a series of problems to be solved. <gg>
