READY FOR RETIREMENT?
Did you retire before 70? And are you sad that your checks are smaller than they could have been? The likely culprit is those pesky penalties you get hit with if you claim social security before your full retirement age (FRA.) But even if you wait until after you’ve reached your FRA, you’re still missing out on the opportunity to boost your income with delayed retirement credits. While it does sometimes make sense to start collecting social security early, it could still be a decision you later regret. If you’re in the early retirement regret stage, don’t give up hope.
