She is also collecting SS and still working full time.

At what age did your wife begin to draw SS benefits? It seems that her earnings as a CPA would slash her benefits if she were to draw early. 🤔

She started drawing at 62 and she is now 67. I don’t know how it’s affected her benefits but if it affected them too much she would never have done it. She knows numbers and is also a tight wad.
