Friends-
I read an article in the WSJ today about Social Security. One of the points made is that an individual who started taking SS before their full retirement age can suspend their payments until they are 70. I started taking SS at age 62 and will be 66 (my full retirement age) in September. I don't need the money now. I understand that my benefit would increase by 8% each year of suspension.
Am I reading this correctly? I would appreciate your thoughts/issues on this matter. Thanks.
