I am - Now

Posted: Jan 15th, 2020 - 9:06 am In Reply to: Need advice from anyone who has retired early for Social Security - and how you manage

old enough to make as much as I want but quit MT over a year ago. I have found that to have the quality of life we want hubby and I both need to work at least part time to supplement our SS. (go to the movies once in a blue moon, go to restaurants once in a while, just BUY SOMETHING fun once in a while....) His SS pays the mortgage, plus his part-time job pays the car payments and some other stuff such as his Paypal and other credit cards he has acquired. Grrrr! My SS and part-time job pay the car insurance, the utilities, water bill, internet, and on and on. But my part-time job pays as much or better than what I was receiving from MT right before I quit.
