My father turns 65 next month. Should he take SS or work 3 more years to earn more benefits?
Dad would be smart to experiment with https://opensocialsecurity.com/ before making a claiming decision. It wouldn't be surprising if he should delay starting his benefits until 70.

Calculating social security benefits
You will need to log into ssa.gov as recommended previously and see if there are enough credits from work history. There are some tools on the SSA site but for scenarios or what ifs https://opensocialsecurity.com is good, also https://ssa.tools/ is good as well.

Can my SO retire at 62, and then receive spousal benefits once I retire?
Try using https://opensocialsecurity.com to simulate different scenarios
u/mgalactico mentioned the http://opensocialsecurity.com site, and that's the tool to use here. You will need to both register at SSA.gov and learn what your estimated benefits actually are. Then you can plug in the numbers.

Does anyone track financial stuff using Neovim?
I’ve been using a program called Ledger for years. It uses a plaintext ledger, which I edit in vim, and a program used to do calculations with it. https://plaintextaccounting.org

Trying to get started...
You didn't mention https://plaintextaccounting.org, so at the risk of increasing the more overwhelm, don't overlook the additional docs/posts/resources there, some of which might be helpful. https://plaintextaccounting.org/#ui-mobile has the mobile options.

Personal Investments tracker with automated daily net worth graphing and live updates using Google Sheets
I had similar needs, I didn't want to share my data with 3rd parties. Even if you trust them, things change over the years and you end up losing all the information you had entered on any app. I eventually learned about [plain text accounting](https://plaintextaccounting.org/) and now maintain my own ledger, fully backed up with history. I created [paisa](https://github.com/ananthakumaran/paisa) to better visualize/understand the numbers.

Accounting Query Language.
They use plain text files instead of a database which is massively better! Indeed, I would say the main purpose of these "Database Management Systems" in this domain is vendor lock-in.
