Peter - thanks for your comment. I believe that every situation is unique. And yes, there are times where choosing the joint & survivor option makes sense. For instance, when someone is uninsurable. However the extra fees and expenses are minimal as compared to the income you and your spouse will lose when choosing the joint and survivor option.
