Confused about dryer sheets
I went to opensocialsecurity today and it told me that there is only a $1700 total difference between filing now (turn 62 this month) or filing at their determined optimal age of 65 and 4 months. I have been thinking about when to file (like many here). My original plan was both spouses to take at 70 but being a Fed retiree I am losing $1000/month starting next month due to loss of special supplement. I currently withdraw $1000/month from TSP. If I file now I can stop the withdrawal and make up for the loss of supplement. With today's market (although it has been rising as of late) is it a no brainer to file now? Wife will continue to work till 65, five more years, and file at 70,she is the higher earner. Thanks for input and sorry for continuing the age old question!
