Just came here to post that. And you can begin taking Social Security at 62, at which point you have an expected 20 more years of life left.


But you're taking a lesser amount than if you reach full retirement age

And it's not like you're a leach. You paid into the system.

1. So. Taking less early, could mean you actually collect more over time, depending on how long you live. It's just actuarial tables.

2. No one said you are a leach. You paid into the system, you deserve it. But that doesn't change the fact that it was never meant for that purpose. It was meant as a safety net to prevent indigent seniors.
