Sep 2018

My husband is almost 20 years older than I am but he has no IRA to draw off of.

In any event, I may be around at 70-1/2 but I've been told I'd live to be abt. 10 years less that my parents did. One died at 75; the other at 77.

Grandparents are no better (63 grandfather; 62 grandmother).

I'll have to hit it before 70-1/2 I think. So difficult to plan for such things!

Thanks again!
