You sound like a polite and civil fellow.Would be happy to answer your questions regarding these questions for the answers that I know. Most of the people I know wait to take Social Security till they are at least 66 some till they are 70 ,I took mine early (62) because of what you stated above plus I had a political disagreement with my employer at that time and I was unemployed for a while. Yes there are pensions that pay your beneficiary it depends on the pension. there is something called a lump sum on some pensions which besides a monthly benefit you can also withdraw a "lump sum" which reduces the monthly benefit BUT smart peopleIi knew took the lump sum and bought a large cheap term insurance policy for their wife. No the pensions don't offset there are people collecting 3 pensions in the US. fire away I am in the Hills of Thailand !

Good ole Ronnie Raygun stealing from Social Security.

It has nothing to do with life insurance and yes it is paid on what you paid and worked.You receive a statement with every year you worked and how much you made in Social Security earnings. You can capitalize experts but they are incorrect.

where do they live for 1000$ a month?

What does it insure? It works like a pension ,payments based on what you paid and worked.

Certain age group can take at 62. Yes you would definitely have to know someone here or be a very brave soul.

This fellow is pretty confused "Who says they live in a car? You? There are dirt cheap places in USA, people get free medicare and they don't have to beg for a visa in Laos." C

That's why they are posting about retirees in the US because they don't care -wrong just like you were about medicare.

you are consistent Is Medicare free for seniors age 65 and older? No, most seniors pay between $165 and $370 per month for all components of their Medicare benefits. However, seniors who have a low income can qualify for free or reduced-cost Medicare.

Medicare isn't free ,you are never in doubt but seldom correct.

" I assume many just don't know about and/or have failed to do the research on the options open to them at their finance level. " Yes and it's a major change in their lives ,family ,weather ,grandchildren, language.

They just take the scooter to the ATM! I agree with your first suggestion.
