    Yes just for a month or two won't be working for a while I'd say it's costing me 700 a month , I don't think insurance company lies are putting them on hold

    hi HotMama89, does this mean you pay three after ur retirement agreed age

    and does this effect your finished plan

    You still retire at the same date.
    There's just less money in the fund.

    How are you going to time getting back into equities? Will you be buying them while they are cheap or will you be waiting till the market rises again?
