What does anyone know about social security benefits ? I was reading somewhere about drawing benefits on a ex spouse who was deceased … we were married 18 yrs and I’m 62 years old … was wanting to wait and work until 70 and start drawing the max SS at that time … my ex made a lot less so not sure if I can draw on him since he’s deceased and start drawing mine at 70 … I’ve seen somewhere say you can draw on his then change to yours later ?

I don’t want to waste time (colleagues mentioned it doesn’t get much better from here). Do I embrace the suck or look for other opportunities?

Anyone have any thoughts or feedback? We’ll have to live on a budget and watch but I feel we’ll get used to it and income will grow.

Need advice. Have some credit card debt that I’ve been working to pay off. Have made progress but want to lower it quickly. We have dual income, with a house (~$300k in equity), 1 kid and 1 on the way. I’ve looked into debt consolidation via HELOC but also have ~$80k in vested equity in my company that I haven’t touched. Get equity refreshes every year. Would it be smarter to cash out $15k-$20k of that to pay debt vs. a HELOC at ~5% given that will still require mthly payments
