Markola, I could not agree more with you. Our eyes were opened by our seventh-grade science teacher who implored us to not even have a television in our houses (he did not). I have one that is off unless I put in a blu ray. I still think of that day in class... I am sure I would have come...

My BIL "retired" at 60 with 20 years with his mega corp. He then worked on a contract basis for 18 years for 3x to 4x what the mega corp ever paid him as an EE. Certain industries have that option (he's in oil and gas and a lot of engineers there typically take this route). Hard to stop...

I dumped my cable TV back in 2016. I glance at the headlines just to have an awareness of what is going on. Reading the news is a lot less dramatic. I only dig further into things I am interested in (and search and read other sources, etc., etc.) However, I only pursue "watching" the news if...

Good for you!

No, the paperwork is initiated by the wife. The actual separation is initiated primarily by the male (by his actions, words or decisions). The old adage women have to do everything.

...very narrow because most people remarry... Not very many people meet the criteria is the point. I believe the projection is that it goes from 2% to less than 1% due to the fact that increasingly their own benefit is higher than they would get as a survivor of the spouse.

A person married that many times is not still eligible to collect on spouse #1. One of the rules is that you could not have remarried prior to age 60. No one gets two benefits. They get one benefit and it's just a matter of which benefit is highest that they are actually eligible for. It's a...
