If, I recall if you choose to take social security at 62 compared to 65, it is about 30% less for life. Increases are also a percentage of what you are getting.

For those who are turning 55 now (or anyone born in 1959 or later) the full SS age is 67. We've run into the trailing edge of the baby boomer, many of whom don't believe they will ever see SS. I would imagine anyone retiring at 62 or below has a solid investment portfolio and is looking at SS as pin money.
I retired at 40. I'll start collecting my SS at 67.
