I was thinking more like; Why be just Average? Dare to be different and break out of the norm. Be BOLD! Don't be content limiting yourself to the constraints of 3 standard deviations!

Dub thyself: "Outlier Dude!"

We have an appointment this week with our financial planner my thoughts alright now I think we're probably just going to buy a Villa and rented out here the villages and use that is income later on in life I'm with everyone else Social Security is such a mess take the money and run! if I die my wife won't need the money with the life insurance policies I've got she'll be able to buy half of the villages. or at least get a fancy golf cart thanks again for all your help and some insight into this welfare state that we have put ourselves into anticipating.

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.
