What weird things do you collect?
Got this idea from a poster below and thought it would be very interesting! I don't collect too much, aside from movies and books, but I do have about 15 Care Bear stuffed animals (and I'm 25!). Loved them as a kid, but couldn't always afford them, so I figured I'd get them now!
What about you all? What things do you collect?
You collect widow's benefit's at age 50, not 60, unless you have a child
under 16. I had to stop my benefits for one year and then got them back when I turned 50.
I know they told me 50 and I collect now at the same rate I collected
after his death when the children were little. However, I was 49 when the youngest turned 16, so I had to wait 1 year to re-collect. The laws may have changed since her situation, but I know this is true for me and I have no other extenuating (?) circumstances.
Hubby thinks it is weird that I collect
so many shoes. I just don't see his point.
I collect small shiny things.
When I was a single gal, I used to have "issues" with home shopping channels, but I self-rehabbed. I have a retarded collection of jewelry that I will never wear because I'm scared I'll ruin them or lose them. I really should sell everything, but I could never get back what I paid. Totally not smart at all on my part, but I never could resist sparkly things. I don't collect anything anymore though. I actually have an anti-collect policy for some weird reason.
I collect scrapbooking materials but haven't made one yet!

A spouse can collect widow benefits at age 60, but the benefit is reduced 21% because you took it ea
So, if his benefit is $1000, you would get $790. If you take you retirement at 62, you can keep the widow benefit, or your benefit, whichever is larger. It's worth taking it early because $790 x 24 months (the difference between age 60 and 62) is almost $19,000. My tax lawyer says always take it early.
Right, and men usually marry for one reason
for someone to take over their mom's job :)
Did he marry her, the answer is
no. They had a symbolic wedding, means nothing in the eyes of the law. Her mother would be her next of kin. That being said, IF 1 of the 3 now claiming to be the father really turns out to be the father, the courts probably would hold the money in trust. I am not so sure they would entrust her father to get that much money and besides that from what I have read, the court action may not be completely over yet on the outcome of the millions from the old man husband. Such twists and turns, huh?
Did he marry her so he could stay in the U.S.? nm

marry someone who smoked or couldn't sing sm
He smokes and won't be on American Idol anytime soon but isn't completely awful lol
When you answer no to some of these, as in would you marry an obese person
What in the world should happen if after you marry a slim, trim person they gain weight? Does that mean a divorce for you? Other than a person changing race after a marriage, most of these other questions could change with the person and then what, you leave?
Better hope DS doesn't marry her; their kids will be rude too :(
