Taking your SS

[Colorado Cowboy]

There was a thread about this same subject about 6 months ago, you should read some of those answers too.

Good advice but if you are married it's actually a team decision because it can dramatically affect a surviving spouse/lesser wage earner...

Absolutely!

For those who say they're going to start at a specific age, make sure you do your homework. My bday is in April and I was going to wait until my 68th bday. I went on to the SS site and used this tool to see how much I'd get come my 67th in April. Then i slid it back a month and to my surprise it was the same amount! February and January the same thing. December went down so I started my SS in January and got my first payment in February. So, I wound up with 3 months of SS that I would have never seen if I just waited for my birthday. Don't leave money on the table.
