I’m taking mine at 66.

Better check the SS website, depending on your year of birth, it may be different. For me, 66 year + 2 months is considered full retirement age................

Started mine at 64. Laid off, retired same day. The next week I got my first retirement check and the week after my first SS check. Cha Ching! For me the break even point was something like 12 years down the road so I figured I needed the smaller amount now. Not that much smaller in my case. Good luck.

Same here. We did the math regarding waiting, it would take a very long time before we reach the break even point.

At 66 I can take SS and earn all the money I want without having to give any back. :)

I was shooting for 66, but going to do it at 70.

I took mine at 66; still working full time. The SS checks paid off loans and permitted us to remodel 2 bathrooms and paint the house (over 18 months).

Here too. I’m 63 and working until I’m 66. I plan on continuing to work at my current job. I can collect my pension and go part time. Well, at least that’s the plan. :-)

I’m 62. I’m thinking either 66 or 67.
