View submission: Living with no Retirement money
percentage was so high
There are those like me that could either start SS at 62 because of my store closing, or spend down all my IRA, 401K, and savings to put off starting SS until later. The later you start, the more you get(8% more per year.) I managed to wait until 68 and 3 months. I was down to my last $1000 when I started SS. SS is now 100% of my income.

If I can ask how much did you get by waiting longer?

Good for you! I had no choice but to start collecting at 62.
