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.
