What do I do with it so that it earns rather than loses value? I currently have it in a checking account earning 3.25%. Female, age 61, married. Income: Husband's retirement $1,700/mo, annuity income #1 $1,040/mo and #2 $2000/yr, parttime job $20,000/yr. I do not work outside the home. We can collect Soc Sec in Jan 2011 as we will both be 62 in Oct. Husband expects ~$1,700/mo in SS and I expect ~$700/mo. He hopes to retire after we recieve Soc Sec. Is this a good idea or should he keep working? No expenses except household (cars & house paid for). Current credit card debt $3,000 at 0% and ~$8,000 in savings earning 3.48%. After my mother's estate is settled in Jan 2012, I may receive as much as $100.000. Should I ask you again at that time? I just inherited $10,000.
