Health Insurance/New Job

Ok, I'm 63 and have been relatively self employed. I have a the marketplace insurance with 0 $ premium.  However in June I took on a job making $45K per year and my wife an additional $12  So now the question begs do I keep my current job and risk the chance of losing a subsidy and having to pay a large premium per month for health insurance.    I also took on early retirement SS before accepting this job.  So I could lose my Social Security monthly and pay a much larger monthly payment for health insurance. What to do??   What makes the best financial sense?

My recommendation is to keep on doing what you're doing; earn as much as you can.

1.  I don't think you'd lose your Social Security by taking on a job. I believe you may get some reduction, but that will go away when you reach full retirement age. https://faq.ssa.gov/en-us/Topic/article/KA-01921

2.  You may still be eligible for a low priced health insurance policy in the marketplace.

3.  When you reach 65 you're going to be eligible for Medicare.
