Social Security and any other available money! will
cover your family's basic living expenses while the
children are growing up.
g. To your wife regular income after the chill
dren grown up and their own.
T. Or if you live to pay you and your wife lifetime
retirement income.

tves-and how much of it would actually be on hand
