But, by taking SS earlier than “Full recovery” I took the “extra” cash and invested realizing an annualized return of over 8%. This more than compensates for the lower dollars I receive from SS. I factored in family history in terms of longevity. I will always be ahead of my break even point at this stage of my life. I’m 70.
