For me, it’s about being able to earn AND collect SS, which is why I’ll wait ‘till 66, which is just over a year from now.
Yeah, I had to hassle with SS for 3 years until I hit 67 about how much I was making and taking out of my 401k. All good now. I still have to fight with the VA about my income though. Oddly, I don’t remember me putting any limitations on the US Navy back in ‘67 about what they could and couldn’t do to me or with me. Weird huh?
I waited till 70. Last May. I intend to work probably 2 more years. Extra money goes to fixing up the house and getting out of debt. Mortgage is paid off, so it’s going pretty fast now.
But then I like my job.
