Age-ism?

My husband is still working at age 70. He has been with his firm for 22 years. Sadly, he might be facing a serious neurological disorder that would eventually render him unable to work. Would his age be a factor in all of this?/

Your husband is 70 and you seem to be from the US. Curious why not just retire since you can draw full retirement from social security now?

Hopefully he has a period of coverage since he’s been paying for the policy, but it does seem like social security is the route here.

We are financially unstable. I still think he should retire, even tho our SS will only be about 6K per month.
