The Best Reason To Take Social Security Long Before Age 70
If you want your Social Security checks to be as large as possible, you'll need to put off claiming them until you've reached age 70. Retirees earn delayed retirement credits that raise their monthly income if they wait to start their checks, but these can be earned only until 70, after which time there's no further increase for delaying.
Although putting off getting checks until 70 does boost the amount of money you get each month, it's not necessarily the right choice for everyone. In fact, claiming early makes sense in a lot of situations. Here's one of the single best reasons to start your checks long before that age.
