Hi- for 7 years looking after my boy I worked out of the home part-time or not at all.Married for 10.
I reviewed the On-Gov SS guidelines-did a bit of math & it was almost double what i thought Id ask.As I had intended to live off half of our assets until I'm back fully in my career field.
We have agreed to joint custody..I'm freelance..
It may take 3-5 yrs to match my spouses income..I'm just judging by the fact that I put myself back in the workforce a year ago-resumes etc..accepting as much as I could..I only made 1/8th of what she makes...but if I work hard enough I'm hoping things will accelerate...
I'm just wondering have people here used financial advisers /accountants/number crunchers to determine this stuff..and also how to scale it back as i make more income?
are there any calculation methods that I may have missed outside of the basic gov. one? on-offline?
Thanks
