Will you take SS immediately or delay like they want you to?

[BrownFlush]

No, I plan to take mine as soon as possible. The point I’m making is not everything revolves around money.

I don't know anyone who waited. Same way with the pension for me. The day they paid me not to go to work, I took it.
True, not everything revolves around money, but you have to have it to eat. I think that's the reason most take it at 62.

That's because lots of people don't have a pension and have a very small 401k

Spend your entire career living for tomorrow. When you reach 62 it's time to live for today. Take the money.

Best post of the year

I know a person that claimed anxiety was making her disabled. Got herself on ssi, total bull. Goes on vacations all the time.

No accountability, no follow-up.

You can’t go on vacation with anxiety?

Hopefully if I’ve done things right, and so far so good, my pension and Social Security are merely add-ons and a nice little bonus compared to the rest of my investments. Not counting any chickens before they’re hatched that’s just the plan that I’m working now.

Hard to do that for some people who think they need a new car every two or three years to keep up with the Joneses

If unable to work any job because you are so damaged, how you able to vacation? Seems to me, if you can vacation, you can work some type of job.

If you die at 71, you lost in the game we all play.

Yep. But most don't.

It's invisible?

 

[Over70irregs]

I took it at 62, no regrets. I did a little math, looked at my parents and siblings..2 of my siblings didn't make it to 62..enjoying it while I can.

There is a difference in living to a certain number vs the quality of life.

Quality of life.
The consistent truth for most everyone is, no matter what you make, you spend just about all of it.

No worries, friendo. Joe is always gonna be there for you.

Try getting that in a contract for one year.
