Great max out Social Security, get an Annuity that pays, work in retirement while collecting pension, invest in tax free muni's, and sell rental property to boost your income.
Great keep doing because Medicare has impose income limits on premiums & if you make too much money you can pay triple for the exact same thing of someone who make a lot less.
No worries, when your income falls you get to battle with Medicare to get your money back & the great news about that is it should only take 4 to 5 years.
Please get the facts about income & Medicare straight before maxing out anything, for most it won't be a problem until the colas kick in when your 85 or older but for those with ample income you will pay more for less.

MoneyView, a new financial & retirement software tool incorporates a similar Social Security module that allows users to perform "what if" scenarios on Social Security options integrated with the rest of their financial plan. It also includes automatic Social Security optimization for married couples. See it at http://www.cadontechnologies.com.
