Retiring at 77 weighs options for Florida condo on golf course
A reader aged 77 and his wife 60 wonder if funding a $27,000 Florida condo with a $320 monthly Social Security, $40,000 home equity, and $25,000 savings is feasible. An annuity plan from New York Life would yield about $378 to $456 monthly, potentially lasting 7 to 10 years or longer, with survivor benefits. The recommendation favors a joint life annuity delivering steady income, preserving funds for emergencies, and maintaining a comfortable livelihood for both living spouses.
