  Claiming at 62 isn&apos;t about how much money you get, it&apos;s about more TIME

  Dad died at 78, mother in-law at 77, father-in-law at 88. &nbsp;I&apos;m out at 62.

  Too much stress at work was literally shortening my life. Took it at 63 and never looked back. Best move ever.

  I retired at 60 after working at the same company for over 40 years. So I took mine at 62 to help me enjoy my early retirement years. No brainer, no regrets!

  An aunt of mine in Odessa TX waited until 70 to claim SS despite us telling her to retire at 62 and 65. I asked her a few months back now 71 if it was worth it. Her response was &quot; I sold the better years of my life for money years that money will not buy back&quot;.

  I fired my narcissist boss and the company I worked for at age 62 and 7 months. The best decision of my career. &nbsp;The health benefit alone was worth it. That’s why retirement planning is so very important to start young. If you wake up one day and can’t take the backstabbing pressures anymore you have a way out. Having no way out gives your boss the upper hand. &nbsp;If you’re prepared and they decide to let you go, thank them and be on your way with a smile. 😎

  My decision to take SS at 62 due to the fact that my father and both my grandfathers passed away at 68. &nbsp;I was diagnosed with cancer at 65, and thankfully am in remission. &nbsp;I would like to live to 78 but nothing is guaranteed. &nbsp;I was fortunate that I was able to invest the money in mutual funds and CD&apos;s. &nbsp;At 66, &nbsp;I am spending it all now.
