Sometimes you just don't know what you need to know [retirement planning, Medicare, Social Security, income taxes]

My wife doesn’t work outside the home so the main reason I am still working is for the insurance. Gotta few more years to go before she is eligible for Medicare. I’m happy to do it but there are some days I wish I could be at home instead yelling at people to stay off my lawn.

Some couples with this situation have opted to have the wife find a job that comes with medical benefits. But… under that plan, the husband needs to be willing to pick all the cooking/cleaning chores at home.
