Follow up to Carlsbad's retirement ? - Social Security....


Oct 16, 2020, 9:36 AM

Start drawing at 62, 65 or 70? Or do you have another strategy?

they can also raise the cap


Oct 16, 2020, 12:32 PM

And not the benefits or just raise the tax on everyone.

Covid is definitely helping SS

I doubt it will still be around but I figure I'll


Oct 16, 2020, 9:58 AM

wait until 70 if I can. Probably can't retire until 67 anyway if I'm being honest.

67 is pretty young too. You probably will live until 90.

badge-donor-05yr.jpgringofhonor-aero.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

67 isn't young.


Oct 16, 2020, 12:27 PM [ in reply to Re: I doubt it will still be around but I figure I'll ]

Hell,57 isn't young.

badge-donor-05yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

Mine's higher, so I'll wait till 70


Oct 16, 2020, 10:12 AM

Mrs No will prolly live longer than me, and the 8% increase each year from 66 6 mo to 70 might come in handy for her. Will prolly take hers at her full age.

2024 white level memberbadge-donor-15yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up

thats me wife is 8 yrs younger


Oct 16, 2020, 12:34 PM

I retire at 70 she retires at 62 or younger but I start collecting at 70 and she starts at 62 if we need it.

2024 orange level memberbadge-donor-10yr.jpg flag link military_tech thumb_downthumb_up


I am still ciphering on it but leaning towards the full


Oct 16, 2020, 11:14 AM

retirement age for me, 66 2 mos iirc.

BUT, wife is younger, so when I die, she will benefit for me waiting longer. As I compute it, around age 81 I will "break even" on the total $$$ received (not taking into taxes and any present value calculation.). I totally expect more taxes on this income - right now iirc 85% is taxed for LDRs.

I will do a more intense calculation soon, because I love numbers.

I started at 65, wish I had started earlier, for one simple


Oct 16, 2020, 4:12 PM

reason: when the future income is a function of those idiots in DC, money in the bank is always better than a promise.

If you bank all the money you receive while drawing from age 62, then at at 66 you retire and start drawing enough out of that slush fund to make up the difference (so that the total available to you monthly is what you would have received had you waited to age 66) your slush fund doesn't run out until way on out there. I forget what it was in my calculation, but 90-something. About life expectancy age. In the meantime, that money is yours.

Obviously taxes will affect this. Drawing at age 62, you're probably making enough so that the SS benefit is taxed. In my calculation, I still wish I had started at age 62. But 65 has been fine. For me to wait to 66 and 7 months, I would have had to draw from investments to wait to get the higher amount at that age. How stupid does that sound, to spend my own money to get a promise of a little money from the govt later?
