Given that I have 40 years before I reach my retirement age, should I aggressively invest now or leave my money where it is?<br /><br />If you have the option to do it partially, now is the perfect time to invest in the market. See if they have a good mutual fund available (look for low costs) and put 60-80% in the market (depending on your risk tolerance).

Can I withdraw from my 401k to pay off the remaining mortgage amount on my primary home? Is there a penalty for withdrawing and will income tax have to be made on the withdrawn amount? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4320941 I'm over 60 and still working. Can I withdraw from my 401k to pay off the remaining mortgage amount on my primary home? Is there a penalty for withdrawing and will income tax have to be made on the withdrawn amount?<br /><br />No penalty, but Uncle Sam is going to hurt you with the taxes. It&#039;s regular income from a 401k. You&#039;re probably better off keeping the mortgage payments on schedule since the interest is deductible.

His second wife is receiving his pension. Am I entitled to his social security when I turn 62 years of age and if I am how do I go about to claim it? http://www.answerbag.com/a_view/4320851 I am a divorced female but my former husband passed away 10 years ago. I am re-married. His second wife is receiving his pension. Am I entitled to his social security when I turn 62 years of age and if I am how do I go about to claim it?<br /><br />If you re-married, I don&#039;t think your social security benefit remains with your former spouse. I think it switched to your current spouse. Check ssa.gov to be certain.

What can one do to avoid or prevent this?<br /><br />It&#039;s not 1/2 your check, it&#039;s her own benefit that&#039;s equal to 1/2 of yours. If you were still married, you&#039;d get 1 and 1/2 of your ss benefit.
