Thanks to all for an excellent discussion on what to me are
difficult and complicated decisions. One quick note about the SS
payments, though. My parents died in their mid-seventies, so I
have to infer (even though I don't smoke and do have a more active
lifestyle) that I won't live more than a few years beyond what they
got. Examining the money to be gained by postponing the Social
Security, it looks as if I would have to live into my mid-eighties
to profit thereby. Add to that the possibility that Congress will change
the rules before I tap into the pot, it would seem wiser to 'take the
money when you can get it'.

(And the worst-case scenario? I get hit by a drunk driver at age 68,
and don't get a penny of my money back!)

Use some of that money to postpone Social Security payments. That will
increase your Social Security payments when you do start taking them.
