First SSC check arrived in February. Fishing trip in Alaska booked for this summer and a brown bear hunt a bit later. Panama fishing and Nanimbia next year. A new $30K a year buys some fun.
I didn’t know you were 67… only a fool would draw it at 62.
Never met either one of you gents.
I have been told best time to pull SS depends on the individual, their resources, their family history, etc.
From what I read from EdM, I would guess he has the numbers part down pat.
If he is pulling it at 62, there is some sound financial reasoning going on.
From what I read from 79s, he doesn't make stuff up either.
Waiting is probably the right move for him based on taxes, life expectancy, expected additional work income, etc.
Moral of the story: drawing ss for an individual at a particular age may or may not be a good move, depending on their unique circumstances.
