But, if late 40s, he can get a FT job and have 20 yrs until FRA. Does someone NOT want to get his own Social Security check at 67? Ever meet anyone who got paid under the table? I did at work.

Now they need SS, were seeking it, and found out they were shit outta luck. Might get SSI. Which is ridiculously low. Do ppl think about their future?

Unless the house sale will net a small fortune so no worries. If they are subsisting solely on mom's SS, what happens when she dies or has to enter a nursing home? I'd be training for a job asap just for that scenario.
