SS letdown
Wondering if anyone else here has had this experience.
13 years after I bailed, I can finally draw SS benefits.
I looked forward to this day with great relish. Now (having made it all this time without), the arrival of SS is quite anticlimactic. Oh,
I need the money. It's just not all that exciting any more.
Like an old fellow told me many years ago. Sex seems like such a great idea but sometimes after it's over you wonder what you did it for.

Like any other carving, it will leave an empty feeling once you have it.

In your case that's probably much more achievable than building your post quality.
