retirement age.
However, if you have adequate financial resources to meet
your monthly needs, whether through earned income, your “Helping Parents Help Children”
investment portfolio or a combination of the two, you could
have some flexibility in choosing when to take Social Security.
In this case, you may want to weigh these considerations:
• Life expectancy – For all of us, it’s one of life’s great
mysteries: How long will we live? Of course, we can’t see
into the future, so the question can’t be answered with total
confidence. But to make an informed decision on when to
take Social Security, you don’t need to know your exact
lifespan – you just need to make a reasonably good estimate.
So, for example, if you’re approaching 62, you’re enjoying
excellent health and you have a family history of longevity,
you might conclude it’s worth waiting a few years to collect
Social Security, so you can receive the bigger payments.
Conversely, if your health is questionable and your family
has not been fortunate in terms of longevity, you might want
to start taking your benefits earlier.
• Employment – You can certainly continue working and
still receive Social Security benefits. However, if you’re under
your full retirement age for the entire year, Social Security
will deduct $1 from your benefits for every $2 you earn above
the annual limit of $22,320. In the year you reach your full
retirement age, Social Security will deduct $1 in benefits
