A lot of factors involved , 70 may be fine for your co-workers , or maybe they just think it is. Some folks 62 is best , some 65-67 , some 70. I'm a bird in the hand guy, I took my SS at 62 and rolled my 401k into a self directed IRA and haven't touched it . It's what I'll be taking at 70 ish. If I check out my estate get's my 401k/IRA $ , but Uncle Sam will keep my SS $


"Why do you ask"?

Too many people spend money they don't have , on things they don't need, to impress people they don't know.
