I'm going to be 62 in two weeks. I'm leaning towards applying for Social Security. I figure a bird in the hand, live while the living's good, who knows if SS will continue, etc. Any advice?
Not sure about that. You're collecting, albeit less, for 62-66. So, and I'm not sure about this, the break even point is something like 78. And that's not accounting for the possibility of investing the disbursements for those 4 years.Every year is like 8% in the bank. It's hard to get guaranteed returns like this on most other investments.

Off-topic King here again, but I can't let this one go. What are you doing looking at the SS website, woodgeek? I mean, I had in my head you were in your 30's...IIRC the SS website will generate all the scenarios for you to compare.
Are you lecturing me on finance, fossil?

Genes are only part of the picture. Anomalies can favor one sex, affect just part of the siblings or even skip a generation or two. Lifestyle plays into it too.Like I told the doc last time I was there. Genes can tell me more than she ever can. Ain't no pills to fix them yet.
