How long will you live?
Okay - how about what kind of lifespans have your near kin experienced?
Social Security - she can draw under your account due to over 10 years of marriage. You will draw under your own account.
Neither of you can determine at which age the other decides to start drawing SS. It is an individual decision.
You will be okay - depending on medical expenses, and life expectancy.
Best wishes in your new life.
Can a man draw under his wife's Social Security account if he was married to her for over 10 years (and she worked). Just curious.
I'm still a few years from Social Security eligibility so I'm still new to this.
