Because waiting until age 70 isn't always the best course for everyone. If you think you will live to age 90...waiting is right. But if your lifetime left isn't that long that extra 3 year wait may not be right for you. |

I just hope to retire some day and hope this emerging mindset on how we should enjoy working and should work until we die is not a thing that becomes popular. I've got about 30 years to go so yeah I am pretty nervous about it. |

The good news is when I've done the math it doesn't make that much difference except in the case of very long life, say past 95 where waiting is clearly better. Obviously if you need the cash now to spend you take it. I tend to do life using the Buddha's middle path and will probably start it at 65 and not fret over it! |
