  1. My understanding is the payout on SS is based on the top 10 yrs of earnings. If you open a company and pay yourself at the top tear after 10 yrs you will have paid in around 197,000 with a SS pension of around 2200 per mo. It will take 9 yrs to recoup the investment after retirement if you have a wife your SS will pass on to her after your death which is another factor however rumor has it that after 2020 SS benefits will drop by 20% due to lack of funding. A political footnote: the democrats are responsible for changing the protected SS funds into a general spending fund.

  2. My father died here, we had him cremated and his ashes are with me. We contacted the social security department his only source of pension and they stopped payment. In your case minor children are entitled to funds from social security for some years to come so by all means contact US Embassy for instructions on how to preserve his children's and wife's financial benefits

  3. I am a father of two and IMO the Asian way of thinking and behavior towards the family unit is a very healthy atmosphere to raise a child. I was raised in a comservitive environment that had a very ridge view of honesty, responsibility and accountability and these attitudes have served me well. Our approach has been a fusion of both cultures and both boys seem happy well adjusted and on track to a bright future. Having said that anything can happen and they may end up lost souls
