Social Security: Hold Out for Later

Most people look forward to age 62 so they can retire and start collecting Social Security benefits. Unfortunately, not many people even know how much they are going to receive upon retirement, and even less know how much they would receive if they waited a mere eight years. The truth is that they would receive up to 75 percent more at age 70, than the amount they will receive at age 62.

This article is a wealth of information provided by a recent survey that polled 61 year olds about their education on Social Security benefits, and their planned actions. The survey was held by Fidelity Investments. The article highlights those who have no retirement plan, those who are planning to retire at age 62, those who have no idea how much they will be receiving upon retiring, and those who need to take their Social Security benefits as soon as possible to meet basic necessity costs. The article also discusses investment options, such as dividend-paying blue chips.
