Good story on ABLE (Achieve a Better Living Experience) accounts which were created in 2014 to help disabled folks grow living funds on a tax-free basis.
Interesting article which says that married women should work later, and delay Social Security benefits, to improve their retirement income.
This is largely due to the fact that married women tend to be younger than their spouses, and because women tend to live longer than men.
Good story about one benefit claiming strategy : If you're a widow(er), you can claim survivor benefits based on your spouse's record. You can use these benefits, and defer benefits based on your record until age 70 (when they're higher).
Thus, you can eat your cake now, and enjoy more cake later.
