GG,

I agree with you that taking early SS and investing the money makes good sense. I am unfamiliar with the Government Pension Offset provisions of SS. Are you saying that your pension from teaching in Ohio completely offsets your SS widows benefit?

I misspoke earlier. It's not Government Pension Offset but Windfall Elimination Provisions (WEP) that offsets your widow's benefit. Similar concept but different rules.
