For what it's worth I wish I could sooner , but , it doesn't work that way , bad health for a few years doesn't help , very much wanting to find a job , my health and my age doesn't help great video 👍👍. Not realizing when you get older , close to retirement the body slows down , 60 years old , don't sit around and do nothing , that's exactly what 8ndid 3 years ago inactivity can be deadly , it happened many many years ago , a man worked at a place for years , the retired , he sat and did nothing for a month , neighbors didn't see him leave to buy groceries or pay bills , after a few more days of not seeing him they did a welfare check , he was found dead in his recliner . Not that I know everything but it makes sense , A person who was going to retire 31 years ago , his former boss who owned the Company paid him a visit , he told him straight up , don't sit , get out and do things or you will be gone in a month , the same one who told him that , the same story . That's just my thoughts , a retired father or someone found in a chair fine is a devistating blow to family , gone too soon . Just a thought , I'm still alive , but , losing that job at 58 years old ? Is the same thing being 65 ,

Read the admission by the Social Security Administration in your Statement that by 2034 (just eleven years) it can only pay 80% of what one can expect monthly. While .20 missing of every dollar may seem small, 20% of $50,000 in payments is $10,000 less. The Trust Fund will be insolvent.

I started my SS at 62 1/2, my wife who is 20 months younger than me started at 62. With my pension for working 25+ years we’re doing just fine.That was over 3 years ago & we never looked back. Haven't touched our investments other than to travel. I had two brothers die of cancer 3 years apart. One died at 62 & never drew a dime of his SS. The other died at at 65 & drew 10 months. Let's be honest here, the reason the Government is offering you a bigger payday at 70 is because they're banking on you not making it!

My monthly bills except for food is only 600 a month. I make enough in SS to still buy silver rounds every month. Life is good .

@ffggddss

"... they're banking on you not making it!" Not exactly. They're weighing their cost against life expectancies, attempting to level out the total payments over recipients' lifetimes, so that there's no clear incentive for *everyone* to file late or for *everyone* to file early. The age-70 premium can't be too small, or everyone would take SS early, and over their lifetimes, cost the gov't more. But the premium can't be too large either, or everyone would wait to take SS, and enough of them would live long enough to collect it for enough more years, that it would cost the gov't more. So for the gov't, it's a balancing act. And for us recipients, it's a decision that hinges on exactly the points this video covers. Fred

This is 'like' having an investment portfolio with your youth and health as its primary asset. You can spend that youth down by 8 years of labor, but the stress of working saps the life energy you'd like to sustain you in later retirement. Even if you love your job, you expose yourself to workplace incidents, commuting hazards, and liabilities of many kinds. Don't misvalue this!
@myronlemecha1626
@myronlemecha1626 Год назад
There's a sixth important reason to consider regarding taking your social security early that rarely people talk about. The quality of mental and/or physical life generally deteriorates as we get older. Therefore, the social security money during the earlier (younger) years of retirement can be put into many more uses and enjoyments. As we age the ability and/or desire to do things that require money (hobbies, travel, etc.) decreases over time. I've seen that in many family and friends that lived frugally without social security when they retired and did not do all they wanted to do. When they finally took their social security late, they had more money then they needed, but neither desire or physical ability to use it in the way they would have a few years ago.

Thanks - great point! That is a huge consideration that most of the retirement videos don't discuss. I would have gotten more enjoyment out of $1000 when I was 40 than I would today (62). I expect that will continue over my remaining years. The other point I am considering is the current state of the Social Security system and its likely future (just look at the Trustee reports). Do I really believe that if I wait another 5 years I will get what they are promising today? Or that the taxation system will be the same??

YAY for early retirement! Update to my comment: It is 11/22/23 I stand by my decision. My son died unexpectedly on 11/8/23. I was able to spend a wonderful year with him making forever cherished memories. He was 29. We are NOT promised a "tomorrow ". Live NOW. Love NOW. Don't wait for some arbitrary perfect time.

Sorry about your friend. I was with you until your last sentence. The Social Security Administration provides you with the broad range of choices for all ages from 62 to 70, the choices are yours, and it doesn't hope or care about what you choose. Just a little research will give you this: A change to the system was made by Congress in 1972 to allow people to work beyond age 65 and collect Social Security later and have the payments deferred. Why? Because a portion of the working public actually wanted this, there are some folks actually want to work and earn later in life. Earlier retirement options to age 62 were introduced for women in 1956; for men in 1961. Apparently, the "I want to retire sooner" crowd got theirs first. Now it spans anywhere from age 62 to 70. To each his/her own.

I retired and began collecting SS benefits at age 62. Yes I recieve less per month, but will ultimately recieve benefits for a longer period of time. Benefits that are sometimes not realized by those contemplating this decision are not financial, but quality of life based. Freedom from having to do things that I can now choose to do or not. I never wanted to travel, I wanted instead to enjoy my home, children, church. Being a night owl all my life, I've struggled to get up in the morning.. now I stay up till 2am then sleep to 11am if I wish. I eat when hungry, not on a pre determined schedule. I'm so much happier.

Happen to be a retired RN,spent 32 yrs at the bedside working all the hell holes:Emergency Room,MICU,NSICU,and Trauma ICU. The pension,in tandem with the Social Security benefits allow me to be financially comfortable,though not wealthy. Glad to be retired and receiving both my pension and Social Security.

I also took my SS at 62, even though I didn’t really need it, but I did want to stop working in my profession as an Emergency Physician ( I did my duty in the ER for 32 years and was burned out by then). My rational was that money was in my pocket and not in the SS pocket. My cross over was about 79 which I will reach soon. Absolutely no regrets.

As an ER physician...honestly, I would have probably retired at 58. You likely had the funds to do it. However, I could have retired last year and chose not to. Even if I die tomorrow, I won't regret it. I only work 3 days a week and work keeps me sharp. My point is that it really depends on a person's financial position and the job they perform. That said, you're 79, so 62 is pretty good in that you have already lived 17 yrs into retirement. Keep going!

Taking retirement early at 62 years old is a win/win situation in my opinion. They say the "break even" point between those who take it at the earliest possible time (62) and the latest time (age 70) is around 81 or 82 years old. But none of us know our expiration date - so if you take it early and live to regret it because you made it to your 81st birthday.....you're already a winner in life - because you made it there. Secondarily - as a general rule people are healthier, and have more ability to actually enjoy their life (and consequently their money) in their 60's and 70's - than in their 80's and 90's. Wouldn't you rather enjoy your money while you can - rather than putting it off until some later date that may or may not ever come ? Just my .02.

I just retired at age 62. I get my pension, have my 401K, annuity, and put in for SS. I sat down and crunched those numbers as everyone should. And yes, taking SS at 62 will give me a 30% reduction vs waiting until my full SS age of 67, but if I wait, that equals over 153k I won't be collecting in those five years. It will take me until I'm over 80 years old to recoup that 153k. I'm not rolling those dice! There are a few thing people often don't think about: Collecting early, while your still young enough to enjoy that money may have it's benefits, especially if you are already getting a pension and other income. Remember, when you're older, you most likely won't be traveling as much and spending money as when you were young and were able to climb mountains and jump out of planes. Your wife, even if she never worked, will be able to collect SS. She will get half of what you would get if you actually worked until your actual retirement age of 67, even if you didn't retire at 67. Of course that's if she waits until 67. if she takes it early at 62, it will also have a 30% penalty just like yours. If she did work, she can collect whichever is the greater of the two. Take the money NOW!! My dad passed at 50, his dad passed at 50. This may sound cliché, but there's no guarantees in life. and as one of my retired buddies who has been on me to pull the pin since I was 58 has always told me, "you can make all that money and buy all those toys, but the only thing you can't buy is time".

I started drawing at 63 and my breakeven is a little under 78 but the amount changes almost every year and medicare draws out of it depending on what insurance you select...i.e. advantage or supplemental or original. I guess the biggest reason to draw as soon as you can is our government leaders keeps saying they might end it or revamp it etc. etc. because some of them are calling it an entitlement. They are the ones who are the entitlement users, they get a really good paycheck for very little work, get free health care, free transportation, and lots of other free entitlements and when they retire all these things are still free to them. Instead of our government spending tons of money on these people, because it seems most of them are millionaires anyway and they can afford health care and most of this free stuff they get anyway, they should spend that money on affordable health for seniors or give it us free. And stop dipping into our Social Security funds for their spending fiascos.

I was really hoping to work till at least 60. I got an illness (MRSA) at 52. I filed for SS immediately. After 3 months in the hospital I was forced to retire. No choice. For the first 5 years every single day was a battle to stay alive. mrsa is gone, but I take life much slower now. Doing much better now health wise because I no longer have anxiety nor stress. Its peaceful living now. I have no regrets filing early. Tomorrow is NOT guaranteed.

I crunched numbers for age 62, 67 (their reco) and 70 and also (and here's real ROLL OF THE DICE) different lengths of time 'til I die; 75, 80 and 85.

For your sake, hope your government pension was earned in addition to SS and not in substitution for it. Huge difference which seems to have bitten a lot of people that were not aware - which is their own fault, but still hard for them. Those that paid into a state/ fed pension but did NOT also pay in to SS at the same time are not eligible for much. Hint - if there is a gov pension involved, the SS estimates will not be close to accurate since the entire calculation formula will differ. They don't know about earnings done outside the SS system until you file.

Nobody, really, should be or should even think about being in a rocker at just only 67. Between 67 and taking the giant leap, one should be having the time of their life, which includes *spending* *MONEY* You want to spend 1795 bucks or approximately 2700 to up to 3000+ bucks? (A MONTH).

Never really knew about the "break even point" but I did my own math a while back using 62, 65, and 70 start points and basing on my projected lifespan...family health history suggests 80. Although I would draw a bit more if I waited, what I learned was the differences in the amounts wouldn't be life-changing money. X amount drawing for 18 years, Y amount for 15 years, and Z amount for 10 years. I am a strong believer that tomorrow is not promised. If I wait to draw, I might end up drawing ZERO after paying into it my entire working life.

@whatsup3270 Год назад
that is correct however as mentioned in the video but under mentioned in my view is how the 62-65 ages and 62-67 ages are treated (1) if you work and draw, and (2) Medicare. So for me Medicare may be the decider. For me 62, 63, and maybe 64 are too likely to be working years with tax and insurance issues so my target is 65th birthday.

@@whatsup3270 Funny aspect of it is that the ratio's work out about the same to where taking it early at any time: 62, 65, 67, etc.... they all end up at a break even around 79-80 years old vs full retirement. As you said, the decision really comes down to whether you decide you want it early, when is the first year you could take it and not have your income penalize you, and your healthcare needs. Taking the money and being able to save it vs having to use it means you could currently put it in CD's or treasuries at 3%-4% or slightly more, which would then push that break even out another couple of years. In rough numbers, 3% return puts your break even around age 82 and 5% return puts it around age 84.

I worked for the same company from 17 years old to 6o years old, during that time span I saw many co-workers retire at age 65 only to live 1 or 2 years after retiring, I also saw some waiting to age 65 to retire only to not live long enough to retire. So for me, it was a no-brainer, when my company offered a buyout at age 60, with 2 years 75 % salary, with a full pension after, and medical benefits for life. I am now 78 and have been collecting since age 62.

Lane, thanks for your videos, they have helped me a lot. I'm single (never married) and 62 this year and will draw when eligible - I currently make about 18k a year being self employed (at work I enjoy) and live nicely on my earnings and save a little each month now. I plan to invest my SS with my savings in a retirement fund and work as long as I am able - I should cover the spread difference of if I had waited until 67 - that way, if I don't make it to 67 well, at least my child gets a little cash. I am blessed to still have my dad (89 yo) and my grands just a mile away. We take them to school and pick them up - its wonderful for us - my dad loves "toting the girls' to school and activities. I got all my travel bugs fed when younger (including Europe) and in today's environment, I'm no longer interested in international travel - not even Mexico or Canada which I did want to do. I have no debt, house paid for - love to garden and own my dream horses ... - time to read; fairly healthy although the '-ritis brothers' are starting to make visits, LOL. Nothing else I really need - help where I can, when I can and love on people.

​@@Mcv2023 You do know that Congress has the ability to change Social Security at anytime they want. Also, did you know that Congress gets Social Security but doesn't pay into it. I'm taking my SS at 62. If you do the math, as Congress currently has it, if you start payments at 62 and live to 76, you will break even on the amount you paid into the system. My dad started his payments at 65 and died at 76. My sister died at 66. So, it's a no brainier for me to take it at 62.

Start a monthly ETF savings plan (the World MSCI is the safest because most diversified one) and don't wait for a crash.

Thanks, I'm 59, and can think of several additional reasons to take at 62. 1. you will have more money in your 60's to travel, if that is your desire rather than waiting until older and less mobile. 2. What if you take at 62 and invest, instead of spend, the break even point is 6% return, above 6% return take early.

great video, thanks. There's one more reason to take it early (my #1 reason). You value your time more than you value your maximum lifetime earnings. I want to spend time with my wife, my grandkids, and serving God while I still can. So I realize that retiring at 63 (and taking social security at 64) will result in lower lifetime earnings if I live past 80 or so, but I don't care. I am currently 7 weeks away from my last day of work (I just turned 63) and I have no regrets.
