I'm continuing to consult (10-15 hours a week), so I don't need to have any sort of earnings, otherwise. My dividends are reinvesting so the monthly income continues to rise when I finally pull that trigger. My wife is eligible for social security, but we're waiting to let the monthly amount grow since her mother lived to 90. My dad is 89 and still kickin' (poor mom), so I'm also going to hold off on starting social security for a couple of extra years -- though I don't really have to.

I hope that explains things. Or I'm going to jail. LOL!!
Nice, well done, carry on, you don't need my advice, as some anon finance tax planning poser. .
