OK, speaking as one who won't get my own SS, just part of my wife's, I willtell you I retired early from the Government and started taking my annuity almost ten years ago. Turn on your computer, bring up a spreadsheet and compute te amounts for 62, 67, and 70. I think you will see it makes no sense to wait. take the money while you can get it and enjoy it. My father turned 76 in the Hospital, my mother made it into her 80's. What good is the extra money when you can't enjoy it. Just make sure you have enough stashed away in other places.
