Jonathan Clement's Blog: Half Wrong: When To Take Social Security

FYI: I WAS SINGLE-track mountain biking with two friends. We had stopped for a rest—which was when I discovered how completely wrong I’d been with most of my financial decisions.

We had all recently retired from the same company and were debating when to claim Social Security. One buddy stated that he planned to start at age 70, so he would receive the maximum monthly payment possible. He defended his position by arguing that he was in good health, which could be indicative of a long life, and this strategy is promoted by the majority of financial pundits.
Regards,
Ted
