Anybody here thinking about retiring early?

Not stupid, but I am 9 years older than he is. I'm on SSD until 2 years from now when it becomes SS retirement. I think with the new rules he can not get a full SS benefit until he is 67. Another 13 years from now. So if I drop dead, any time between now and the time he is 62 he will find that my SS check is done as is the less than $100 pension from my ex. He will have no regualr income at all coming in. He can get SS partially at 62 I think but his amount is way lower than what I get..

Gailete,
Couldn’t your DH get a (reduced) social security survivor benefit based off your work record at age 60 in the above scenario?
