A friend told me she did a bunch of calculations on comparing her predicted life span and investment return on taking her social security funds early (at the midpoint of 67 instead of waiting until 70), and investing those 3 years in the stock market, and that she found she would have about the same ultimate return - and that there was no reason to wait until 70. I have not evaluated her calculations, and I've never heard of this viewpoint before.
It's not something I ponder for myself - I'm just interested in the accuracy of that conclusion.
