You have described how to use vix to buy in the market in the article, you just don't know it. It's plain and simple, every time when the vix spikes to new highs that is when to buy the market and sell the market when the vix eventually drops. It worked in 2008, it worked in COVID and it worked in tariff as well. So VIX is actually the most useful and reliable indicator of the market. You just look at it in the wrong way and don't know how to use it.
For me the benefit of waiting till 70 to start collecting ss is to have the maximum monthly payment possible to cover the potential cost of long term care if I do need it. I have pension and I also wait till I get the max payment as well. Meanwhile I am already retired and don't need neither of these incomes.
