    I started taking my ss benefits at the age of 62 and it wasn’t a bad choice. I’ve worked hard for that money for 40 yrs and i wanted to make sure that i’d would get my portion of that benefit. Had I known that i would live over 67 yrs i would have taken it later. It was a good decision.

    Retire as soon as you can, no guarantees of tomorrow. You would have to be in your late seventies before you would realize any loss. Most of us won’t make it that far but a lot will, plan your future and retirement out. Hopefully your home is paid for and you have been putting money into some kind of savings account or even investments. If not you will be living month to month.

    Did a spreadsheet of 62 vs 67 and I'll be 77 before I lose money, 15 years........ nope, I'm realistic and the males in my family rarely hit 80+. In 5 years between 62 and 67 I will have drawn $125,000, at $700 a month extra for 67vs62 it takes 178 months (14.88 years) to draw that money. At 62 I hope I'll be fit enough to enjoy life for 10 years anyway.
    My wife paid in all her life and died 58 after battling cancer for 8 years, nobody got a cent back of the lifetime she paid in. Life is too short to worry about $700 a month.

    Worst advice I have heard is waiting until you are 70 to collect. If you can work until you are 70 the best thing you can do is collect when you reach FRA and work and collect until you are 70. The amount you make extra will always exceed the amount you get when you retire at 70 then collect your social security.

Most checks are sent the 3rd Wednesday of each month. Trust me check it out. We are to believe that the government doesn't fiddle around a little ?

To qualify for SSDI, you must have a disability, have worked long enough in Social Security-covered jobs, and have paid Social Security taxes."

      @@morganbrickwall7902 Your explanation is spot on. Too many people misunderstand SSI and think it’s Social Security. SSI was created in 1972 to replace a state patchwork of Aid to Needy and Disabled programs throughout the United States. The payment amounts as well as eligibility criteria were very inconsistent. A person could have been determined to be disabled in California and subsequently move to Georgia and be terminated from benefits. President Nixon with the support of a Democratic Congress ended that. In fact, many Republicans supported SSI as well. Thank You.
