My company factored SS into my retirement pay. When I turned 65, my retirement check went down by the amount of SS I would get at age 65.

So yes, I need my SS.

I calculated my retirement lifestyle knowing that I was going to get the SS check monthly. I paid in for 35 years, Why shouldn't I take it?
