It's either that or the plan goes broke.

In recent years life expectancy for a man has dropped from 78 years to 74 years. I blame women for that.

Biden does the same thing with his Secret Service protection staff.
He 's been doing it for a dozen years longer than Trump.
Hillary Clinton charges the government for housing the Secret Service on her New York estate.

I could be wrong but I believe all living past Presidents do that. Harry Truman was probably the last president who walked arong freely in his hometown in Missouri without secret service or other protection.

You're right, Biden made them stay on his property in DE, so he didn't have to provide any room upkeep like Trump does.
Biden's getting his millions under the table.

He’s not allowed to not charge rent. The latest figures I could find is $2200/month is what President Biden is charging for an entire cottage.
No comparison to the $1185 per room/night the former guy charged.
24%, not 124%.
If we knew how long we was going to live the answer would be very simple.I took the $$ @ FRA and stayed at my full time with no penalty and invested the SS dollars although I cut back to 4 days a week . The break even point is just past 80 . It's not worth the wait nor the other option

Took mine at 62 and just invest the proceeds. My break even point is somewhere in my 80's. Will worry about it then if I last that long.

63 way too young to start draining the plan. Maybe in 1940 but certainly not now.

‘No one in the US should be retiring at 65’: Ben Shapiro says Social Security was not designed to provide retirement benefits for 20+ years — and those who expect that are ‘crazy’
He argues that raising the retirement age makes sense on a fiscal level.

The break even point is a farce.
You are guaranteed a set amount.
How you wish to receive it is the only option the government allows you to control.
My older siblings are still quite active into their 90's.
So I'm assuming that I too will live as long.
I didn't need the SS at 62, nor at FRA.
I was able to tap into my 401K.
Funny thing is that my 401K has rebounded lately to the point of pre-retirement levels.

No reason to retire unless you're unable to and working gives your life purpose, according to Shapiro.63 way too young to start draining the plan. Maybe in 1940 but certainly not now.

You might be guaranteed the death benefit to surviving spouse or child of $255.00 but that's about it. Taking my benefits at 62 and investing it at least would leave something to the kids. Waiting till a later date and dying before collecting leaves you nothing.

Ouch, had a case of that at one point and it was really one of the most painful things ever especially in the morning when you first get out of bed. Thankfully it went away.
