My wife and I set up our retirement so that with both her and my SSI pays the bills with spending money left over. My wife is a couple of years younger and continues to work for additional income. I plan to do contract work and other things to add spending money where I can.
We are simple people....no extravagance in our lives. Like BRC having Medicare A & B along with the supplemental part G actually is better than the Medical I had at my present employer. (We chose to go with Medicare this year instead of the company insurance which was more expensive)
