Most people do not plan as they accept the premise that SS will be there for them. Suckers!!!!!

I accepted the premise that SS would not be there for me when I retired, so my retirement finances were based on not receiving it. I retired at 60 and could have started drawing SS three years ago, but I still haven't filed for it.

Why not?

If you can start drawing at 62 and wait until you are 65 to start it takes you something like 15 years to recoup the difference.

I am not that sure I will live that long.

I thought the earliest to retire on SS was 62.
