Unemployment in Europe - Still a Disaster   

   

  

I've been watching the situation in Europe for years now, and fundamentally they have serious long term issues.

Specifically, their debt levels, unfunded pension obligations, and employment policies.

The long term unemployment rate for Europe has only gotten worse in the past few years.

When should you start cashing in on Social Security?   

 

        

 

At age 62, you receive 75% of what you'd receive at your full retirement age (assuming 66).  If you delay until 70 years old, you accrue 8% more per year (32% over 4 years).

 

In general, I usually recommend waiting until 70 to start your social security, but this is also assuming a long life.

 

When you're looking at social security planning for couples, I have a program on my computer that can track all the permutations (file and suspend, delay, spousal benefits), etc.

Definition:  High Yield
    
Defined:

A high paying bond with a lower credit rating than investment-grade corporate bonds, Treasury bonds and municipal bonds. Because of the higher risk of default, these bonds pay a higher yield than investment grade bonds.

Based on the two main credit rating agencies, high-yield bonds carry a rating below 'BBB' from S&P, and below 'Baa' from Moody's. Bonds with ratings at or above these levels are considered investment grade. Credit ratings can be as low as 'D' (currently in default), and most bonds with 'C' ratings or lower carry a high risk of default; to compensate for this risk, yields will typically be very high.

Also known as "junk bonds".
