My age group already won't get FULL Social Security until we're 67.
It's up to 70 for people younger than me.


Traditionally, it's been 65 here. Although, if you're willing to take
LESS money, you can draw Social Security at 62.


My father retired at 62. He took less because my mother passed away,
and he grew tired of work. But, he also gets a pension from the
company he worked for. Plus, he qualified for Medicare, when he turned
65.


I'm still lookin' at a LONG TIME before I can retire !! LOL.
