You have an interesting concept of math.
Life Expectancy at age 62 for a man is age 81.4 (19.4 years), for a woman age 84.3 (22.3 years). Half will make it that far, half won't. For the AVERAGE person, the choice to start receiving retirement benefits early will ultimately mean receiving a smaller total lifetime benefit.
