I thought that Scott's analysis of how much a person is rewarded when they delay starting SS until later on was right on the money. If you do not need the monthly cash to live on, you should consider delaying it as long as possible if you understand the possible negative aspects of your desision.

I wonder how Scott gets "My Social Security representative?" Do we all get one or do we have to share?

The opportunity is very simple. You don't have to make bets on the economy, future corporate earnings or the direction of the yen, euro or renminbi. Nor do you need insight into the direction of natural gas prices or interest rates.

Just defer taking your Social Security benefits.

Each month of deferral will increase your benefits by a small amount. But the increases add up. And there isn't an investment anywhere in the world that will deliver as high a "return" with no risk.

Needless to say, this option isn't available to everyone. Many men take their benefits early because they simply don't have a choice. They need the cash.
