Can I do this online?

Can I 64F apply online if I want to use my ex’s higher earnings to increase my benefits, or must I go in person?

I have never applied or received any benefits, and I have all the required credits for myself.

I have all my paperwork including marriage license from 34 years ago and our divorce decree from 2 years ago.

How can I live half of the year in another place?

Should I just rent furnished places in both location for six months each? I don’t want to buy, leaving a property for six months at a time. I want to be in climate that allows me to be outside enjoying hiking, biking, etc. What would you do? Is there another option I should consider?

Background: I 62F sold my paid off house last year and I’m renting now (rent is about the same as property taxes were with house), and I invested that money, basically living on the interest, along with about $10k in part-time consulting work for my former employer. I’m not taking SS yet, and I have plenty of savings, investments, and retirement funds to support my lifestyle now and in the future.

If your apartment complex has you locked into only one ISP, I found that Minternet will violate their monopoly, at least where I am.

My complex colludes with ATT so other providers won’t accept my address even though I’m less than a mile from the house I sold where I could get internet at half the price of ATT.

I’ve been double checking all the providers and Minternet, while it’s only a 5G gateway, is the first one who is working with me. No other ISPs that offer 5G gateways have.

I do recommend you check your lease for any clauses that say you can’t use a personal router or gateway.
