Question: We retired last year at 67 with $3.1 million and get $5,000 a month in Social Security. My husband insists on working two days a week to keep his mind busy (and he secretly loves the challenge). But his side gig is interfering with the travel plans I want to make for us. We're not getting any younger. Help!
