The spousal death benefit (SDB) is the concern for me. If we take at 62, SDB is $23,458. If we take at FRA, SDB is $29,144. We have a pension so we can float until 70.
If DH takes at 70, SDB is $41,196. It's worth it, for us to have a guaranteed SS income for either one of us if the other dies. Takes away risk of market collapsing.
