Waiting longer increases your monthly payments. Be advised that full retirement age, if you were born since 1937, is something greater than 65. Go to: http://www.socialsecurity.gov for further info. I'm 63 and not planning on retiring anytime soon. This is too much fun. Tom Cole Alan Barnard wrote: > I have retirement income envy.
