    My niece is 39 years old and her husband passed away last year. She has a 12 year old daughter. She was told by Social Security that she is not eligible for benefits since she is under 60 years old, but that her daughter is eligible. However, I just read this on Investipedia: "As noted above...

    Retirement?

Still......thought I would ask for another opinion. Giving up a nice income makes me a little nervous. My current monthly expenses run...
