You had a plan and stuck with it and that is great!!
My feelings on SS is take it as soon as you can unless you some really sound proof as to your lifespan. Even if you don’t need it you can take it an invest it for your heirs.
And remember, if you get a part time job you can still text a retirement plan to the max while paying zero taxes on not your salary, at least up to the max allowed amount deposited in your 401 or IRA.
Who is a good person to talk to regarding SS rules and advice?
I’m with you- I am 62 this year and I am taking it as soon as I can get it- but I can work part time doing contract work.
I dont want to take SS but end up getting $0 because of the income I make from my contracting work.
Yep. Gonna take SS as soon as I can. 62 is only three years away! :)
