I was diagnosed with metastatic prostate cancer in 2014 when I was 61. My CPA son and I concluded I would have to live until 79 to break even if I started taking SS at 66.
At the time I was diagnosed, my statistical life expectancy was 3-7 years, so taking SS at 62 was a no-brained.
Fortunately, I am responding extremely well to the treatment I am getting at www.mdanderson.org and I plan on being around for the cure and well into my 70s.
Since you took social security at 62, what health insurance did you use?
