Don’t forget that if you pass away before you’re old enough to start drawing SS, you get exactly $0 of the thousands that were taken from you when you worked.

This is why my CPA has advised clients to begin taking SS payments at 62 whether they need the funds or not. Many people just want to “get something back.” I don’t necessarily agree with this practice, but a full 60 percent of early retirees take SS payments the minute they are eligible.
