I just got the nod from our financial advisor, and....

Yeah, I retired a yr ago. I chose Medicare advantage over traditional Medicare. After lots of research I took Advantage because I'm in pretty good health. Medicare is better if you have health conditions.
I am so pleased, all my meds are $ 0, and I pay the same as others $170 taken fromm my SS check.I went from 1K a month thru my wifes work
To $170 month.
SS beware that you can earn $22,000 before they take $1 for every $2 u make,

Per year only, as much as you like after your full retirement age. I'm doing so

You healthcare options, get on your significant others insurance thru their
work. Or if you qualify for Obamacare, go for that.

Keep in mind that the govt is already saying that SS will be cut 25 percent by 2034. I would grab your SS asap.
Solid points. The future of SSA is not only political, but a numbers thing. One metric that has improved SSA is that our average life expectancy had actually dropped. Now pandemic certainly played a role. And I suspect the numbers to begin increasing again in near future. But the future of SSA as a whole is always a concern. (At least it's been all my life. My parents would say it's in trouble all their life. Lol.)
