My husband started collecting ss at 67 and 9 months in Oct 2020. He only got paid delayed credits for age 67. I know this year the 9 months should of kicked in but are still not being received. I called ss and they didn't act like they knew what I was talking about. Anyone else having this...

I have 6 funds total

I did have diversification 50 stock 40 bond 10

mine too lost over a third of my portfolio

my Healthspan aca plan does not have anything like that on it.

ok then down .26 not counting distributions. Took out the money when the market was up

Down 4.10 percent but that is counting my withdrawals . Are you all counting withdrawals in your calculations?

First full year of retirement and drawing on portfolio this year and we are down around 4 percent also. I am going to draw down less percentage in 2016, and do a roth conversion on rest for the aca and use more savings if the scenario in 2016 is similar to 2015 or worse. I do not want to do...

Seems like a good plan but I would hate to take the ss so early and be stuck with such low ss income, but if you have plenty of supplemental income maybe you don't need the bigger ss payouts. But if the market goes way down in will your portfolio be able to pay you enough when you are then stuck...

sorry for your loss...money means little in comparison

My gas range went kaput and had to buy a new one, guess I will count that as the gift to myself

just aca for us

The market has not been good to us this year so far we are down less than what we started with. And it is first year of distributions.

My husband constantly mumbles, moans and groans, and bitches while he is working on something. I try to stay out of his vicinity because it drives me crazy
