DH, who just turned 63 and had no previous known serious health issues, just had a heart attack and emergency quadruple bypass surgery. This made me think perhaps we should accelerate taking his SS. Our financial modeling was done assuming both of us start at FRA, but we also assumed that we might start earlier if there was a lengthy market downturn or delay if we didn’t need the income or we wanted to keep taxes lower.
I don’t want to panic and assume DH will likely die sooner due to his bypass surgery. Initially I thought that was a good assumption, but now I’m hearing that most bypass surgery people who make it through the recovery from the surgery live a normal lifespan.
How would you view this situation?
