Turning 62
 

I'll be turning 62 in July and will begin receiving my social security benefit. It's one birthday I don't mind having. Looking forward to having a the extra cash so maybe we can travel more like most of our friends already do. What extras did you reward yourself with once you started getting your check? I'm thinking of getting myself a house cleaner for a once a month clean. It's just $60 and I think I deserve it for working all those years.

I was still working at 62 and when I started collecting, I saved SS money to ensure I could move here!!!

At 70, I bought myself a brand new car. :smiley:

I haven't turned 62 yet....but I want to know who you get for housekeeping for $60 a month??

I look at the bank account on the third Wednesday of every month and smile so big it hurts my face. :1rotfl:

I look forward to that Joyce for sure.

I am waiting for my wife to turn 62 so she can claim me and get 1 /2 of what I get. Will be in the bucks then! "O". Wait my money is our money and her money is her money! :shocked:

No, you actually will find out that her money is her money and your money is her money!

I turned 62 on 4/8; my checks start next month. :a040:

I met with the folks at the SS office in Leesburg. Very professional and helpful. You check in on a computer when you arrive. We were seen a few minutes earlier than our appointment. I should have said that. Make an appointment. :bigbow:

leave so for me.
Is it true on average you get about $1000.00

I thought that was only with his and her closets. There is hers and ours. :boxing2:

i did my sign up on line....very easy to do

Your SS check amount is based on a calculation that factors in years worked, income, and age when you choose to collect. If you set up an account on the SS web site you will be able to obtain an estimate of the amount you would receive at the age you choose to begin collecting.

I think the OP said once a month

Since I'm the oP and started this thread it is 4 months til my birthday. I received a statement this week in the mail from Soc Sec with all of that info on it including how much I will receive.
