• I enjoying reading the "math" everyone does but don't want to do it! I retired at 62 and took one of my defined benefit pensions 3 years early after doing the "math" and realizing waiting 3 years wouldn't be significant! After that I just knew I wanted to wait until 70 because I'm single and we seem to live a long time in my family. I managed to do that (now 71) and seems to be worth it to me. Getting to 70 was a bit of a stretch at times. I tapped my taxable IRA to supplement my income, claimed 50% of my ex-husband's SS at my FRA, had to buy my own healthcare (ouch!), I worked a part time job for about a year and half, and lastly my ex-husband died young and I received survivor benefits at 67. So many ways to skin the cat and not everything is within our control. Make your best guess and move on!

• I'm with you and have shared this desire with my 2 adult children. Both my parents died with dementia and I managed my dad's care. I want to be better prepared (is that even possible??) than they were
