That is my question.
Assume:
*you had 34 SS credits
*qualified for SS/Medicare based on spouse's record
*did not need the income
*would only earn min wage or thereabouts
Would you go back to w*rk for those extra credits? Assume you are content to stay at home but also wouldn't mind w*rking for a few years, so it's about 50/50 of a do-or-do-not decision. Also assume that spouse says "do what you want". Oh, kids are now out of the house.
Basically, is there a reason for me to get those last few SS credits tucked away while DH works a few more years?
