social-security-tools VS DuckieTV

You can easily calculate how much you will earn via sites such as SSA Tools. As most FIRE advocates are also high earners, you can see that a few years at maximum earnings can easily boost you up to a reasonable monthly payment. Due to the SS "breakpoints," after a certain point any extra earnings aren't going to do a whole lot for you anyway, so those $0 years aren't that painful.

Our social security estimate currently says when we both draw at 65, even if there is no 22% benefit cut, it will still be short of covering our yearly expenses. BTW, the SSA Tools is fabulous for everything SSA. Please use it.

Personally I use a combination of the benefit report that the Social Security Administration creates annually and the ssa.tools 3rd party website that lets me tweak retirement age / expected contribution history (since I plan to retire early and thus I will not have earning up to 67). Then if you want to account for the possibility of reduced benefits, do so.

When you say that your Social Security is “at 1.2k/month currently” is that from your annual social security statement or did you calculate it using a third party calculator like ssa.tools?

Your benefits are based on the highest 35 years of inflation adjusted wages. There may be an impact, but it might not be by a lot. This might help: https://ssa.tools/

ssa.tools, but yes, that's a great site for this.

https://ssa.tools/ lets you upload your wage history, cut and pasted from your soc sec account.

https://ssa.tools. will tell you.

https://ssa.tools/ is a great website to play around with the numbers.

This makes sense, OP. The remaining survivor of a couple takes the higher benefit, so it might make sense to maximize one person’s benefit for the eventual time that you will only have one benefit. Play around here https://ssa.tools/ and see what makes sense in terms of your income as a couple vs remaining spouse.

The only way to add a search engine to Dtv is to use it in combination with the Jackett app. The wiki at https://github.com/SchizoDuckie/DuckieTV/wiki/Using-Jackett-with-DuckieTV gives details.

You can use DuckieTV, not only a good calendar tracker for shows, but you can use its built in torrent/magnet finder which queries all the major torrent finders; The Bay, TorrentGalaxy, etc.

For keeping track of them, and as an option torrent finder (which is excellent, but you can shut it off if not needed) is DuckieTV. , just search for your show, add it to your calendar.

I never do streaming piracy, only torrents, so for that I love DuckieTV app. It is a standalone app,or web browser extension, that not only allows you to find and add your favorite shows on a calendar, it also gives you the option to find the torrent for each entry from most of the popular torrent search engines. I have been using it for a couple of years, works great.
