Took ours at 62, no regrets. You have to be debt free though.

I am going to take Social Security at 65 & Medicare at the same time. We are not guaranteed how long we will live.

New Mexico no longer taxes social security. It was a recent change.

Retired last year at 65. Will take SS at my FRA of 66 and 10 months. It’s about a 400 dollar a month difference by waiting 22 months. That’s enough to cover IRMAA. Toyed with the idea of taking SS at 70. Mostly for survivor benefits for the wife. However she’ll have multiple sources of income besides my SS. If you’re in good health, work and take SS at your FRA at the earliest. Retirement isn’t a race to get there first. For me it’s about never having to worry about money…

If you want to stay independent and improve your chances of living longer make sure to implement a regular strength training routine.

Aiming for 67. Wife and I both are 67 at about the same time, and this will maximize spousal benefits
