Who said getting older was a bad thing?
 

I submitted my application for social security a couple of weeks ago, and got my letter this week. I'll start collecting in April, and that check will almost cover my mortgage and condo maintenance fees! Nice!!!!

I decided to start collecting at 62, and not wait for 66. Who knows what will happen by then?

That's great, Judy, that your SS will cover your mortgage and maintenance fee. I know that some people choose to receive it early and some late. I think that it's great that you have a choice.

Good for you!!! Now you'll have extra money to spend:D

I hope you'll have extra money to do fun stuff and not just to pay the bills Judy. I know I shouldn't.....but I'm really looking forward to retiring....if for nothing else....just to not have to get up so early and be somewhere....lol

Thats nice Judy, enjoy it!!!

That is wonderful. I started collecting mine a 62 but wish I had waited.
Yes, do fun stuff.

Why do you wish you had waited? I hope I'm doing the right thing. Actually, I was advised by 2 different financial people to take it now.

Good luck Judy!

I was told that if I waited until 65 I would receive more money.
