So SS fund is going bankrupt, but...
“In general, one should avoid beginning benefits prior to Full Retirement Age (FRA), which is age 66...”
Pffft.
Is there any way to get SS before age 62?
“”Is there any way to get SS before age 62?””
Not unless you are disabled.
I mean, if boys can declare they're girls...why can't we declare what age we identify with.
Oh, and for life insurance I'm 21!
“Is there any way to get SS before age 62?”
If you are a widow or widower and your spouse was collecting Social Security, you are eligible to receive the (reduced) spousal benefit as early as age 60.
Well you could go my route, destroy your body over 45 years of hard work and two major spinal surgeries, one knee replacement and carpal tunnel damage to both wrists and you get to have your S.S early by way of being disabled................but I wouldn't advise it, plus by not working and contributing all the years your benefits are lower. Of course you could always go the shyster route, I hear mental disability is still quite popular.
Get it as soon as you can brother. I did at 62 and I’ve already been collecting for 8 years with no regrets. My dad took it at 66 and then only collected for a year before dying. It was a lesson to me.
