I'm 73 now and the worst mistake I made was taking my SS at full retirement age 65 plus 7 months. My dad died at 73 and my mom lived to be 97. My wife had just died at 65 and did not collect a month of SS.
I continued to work and did not need the money. A bird in the hand choice. Never able to earn that 8% on fixed cd's and now they are down to under 2%. Wait if you can its a great bet.
