Ran the following 2 scenarios and got some surprising results given the conventional wisdom of delaying SS as long as possible.
1) Ran FC with receiving SS at 62 with the numbers from ESPlanner. I believe these are the most accurate numbers given my complete salary history.
2) Ran FC with receiving SS at 70, again with numbers from ESP.
Via the FC Investigate tab, I selected Spending Level given a 99% chance of success. The result was that taking SS at 62 vs 70 led to over $5K additional annual spending. That is a significant difference!
My ER plan is to take SS it at 62. If I make it there.
