I recently passed my 58th birthday, but I can always feel young by hanging out with the retirees at the gym since none of them retired in their 50's, and we often get invited to come along along to one or event or another, and love responding that we are too young, as the events in question are mostly for the over sixties.

Probably not

70 is the age at which SS benefits have to be taken in the same way that 70.5 is the age that IRA withdrawals have to start. However, while there are penalties for not doing RMD's I would be surprised that SSA would come after you aggressively if you didn't claim SS at age 70.
