Some food for thought. On the old TMF board, there was discussion about the partner that would get the least SS taking it at 62, and the one that would get the most taking it at 70.5. It provided money much earlier, but also enabled the max payout for the biggest earner. Though it sounds like you may not need it at all, and could wait until 70.5. But it's another option.

1poorlady and I are thinking of doing that. In a few years we'll evaluate it again under the then-current circumstances and see if it's a good idea for us.
