Susan (62) and Jeff (66) : Jeff is retired but Susan, 4 years younger, planned on working to age 66 to add to their nest egg and to qualify for a solid pension.
We live in an age of helicopter parents so pushy and overbearing that Colorado Springs banned its annual Easter-egg hunt on account of adults jumping the starter's gun and scooping up treat-filled plastic eggs on behalf of their winsome kids.
Assuming there is a comfortable nest egg, for a single person in good health, it makes sense these days to defer taking Social Security until age 70, says Mr. Jones.
Because it is the age of the eggs not the uterus that most affects the success of conception, egg freezing allows women to preserve younger eggs and then use them later through in vitro fertilization.
