OMG if we were forced to follow this advice we'd have slashed our wrists at 60! We retired and took SS at the earliest date, moved to Panama where we knew no one, are learning a new language, travel the world and have fun every day. The challenge of getting the best out of new experiences I am sure will help us live be...more

Delaying taking SS is crazy unless you come from a long line of  family who have lived well into their 90s.  And the point about spending too much on travel and new hobbies is parsimonious in the extreme - what else are we retiring for? There are plenty of ways to save money without scrimping on the fun.

It takes two to make a baby! Of course the state should not support the kids, but what about all the whore women who are producing his kids? I'll bet they have lots of other kids by other men too. Why not sterilize them too?

This just sums up everything that is wrong with America today - mindless idiots just towing the bureaucratic line just because it means they do not have to take responsibility. Well done Austin for taking care of your mom!
