Out of my 1965 high school class of 730, 165 and counting have already passed on. That's a significant number. Of course some passed before 62. I was shocked at my 50th reunion how many were gone. Not scientific in any way. But, if they had waited counting on collecting SS at 66 or later, Uncle Sammy would have made out. You are often healthy until you are not, seems like an obvious statement, but once in your 60's your historic life style and genetics really starts to kick in to the mortality tables. Some for the good, some for the bad.
i chose to take it at 62, I don't regret it or miss the extra money i could have had by waiting. Someone above basically said that once you are in the mid 70's a lot of energy goes out of you and the time you could have had having some adventures and fun that you couldn't afford in your 60's for lack of that extra SS cash is gone. Shoulda woulda coulda. Everyone has different circumstances
