Wow oh, you're 84 years old. I'm 68 and retired. The job that you are qualified for, which would be full-time, again, with your background it's going to put you way over the amount that you were going to have to pay taxes on including your Social Security. Your kind of experience can't be matched.

Go to all the local shops in your area as far as you can afford to drive and introduce yourself and see what you can do about getting some off the books or 1099 gigs. Chances are if you never report the income you will be okay. Especially at the amount that I think you're getting as Social Security at your age. Unless you're not telling us about some huge pensions you're getting. Good luck to you!

Wow, you got a lot more Social Security than you would have if you left at 66 like I did. I actually stumbled into the thread by accident and misunderstood the topic LOL, that's why I bowed out fast.

Let's hope that we are not heavily taxed on our social security and pensions as is being proposed. It's tough enough to make ends meet on a fixed income with the high inflation. Thanks for your reply!

Many years ago there was a paper floating around showing retirement ages, when people started taking pensions and SS and when the payments stopped, meaning the person took a dirt nap. The info was from many different large companies human resources and retirement offices. The bottom line was people who retire before or up to roughly age 55 lived the longest and for every year beyond that life expectancy was shortened. I also see this at the company my wifee worked for where they work until they are really old. They would have retirement parties for the older folks then a funeral just a short time later.

I was fortunate to retire at 56 and after a lot of research about social security it seems best to take it immediately when you turn 62. Why? Because its a complete gamble on how long you will live vs how long the Govt will pay out. They give incentives to push out the age you start taking it and its just like going to Las Vegas, the cards are stacked in the house's favor. So take it early and take it for as long as you can.

I got SS going immediately at age 62 and its paying a little over $26k/yr. I hope everyone gets to retirement early and sucks every dime out of the Govt. Its your money so get back all you can.

That's horrendous....he didn't even solder the center conductor.

He was IT, he don't know solder from sh*t from Shinola. After I knew him a while, I found he didn't know much IT either.
