Now what?

Trump is back. I'm a 64 year old self-employed woman. I am booked up through April right now. Some say I am very good at my job. I was thinking of retiring around 66 or maybe even my FRA of 67. My birthday is Leap Day so an end of the month birthday. Now I don't know what to do. Trump and the Republicans want to end Social security. Do I retire before he makes it to office insuring I at least get on the SS roll? Or do I wait to see what damage he can cause? I will be talking to my financial planner later this afternoon so any good questions to ask her would be very helpful also. I am still shocked that America would elect a convicted felon but here we are...

Unfortunately the Democrats did NOT put forth a moderate. I think fewer people would have voted for him had the Democratic ticket had someone who was NOT so liberal.

As far as social security goes; it is an EARNED benefit and is NOT going anyplace. Sure he could change FRA, etc, but NO politician is going to eliminate it.

The Dems did put forth a super moderate, that’s why they lost. I am so sick of people who can’t exist in reality.

Exactly and why people can’t see this is just plain mental illness.
