Taking SS early at 62 compared to 70 or even FRA is just like retiring early. Why retire early when you can work and be worth even more money at 70? Because there's much more to life at 62 than there is at 70.
I'm taking at 62 because there are adventures I want to do while I can. Stuff like ski and kayak. Could I at 70? Maybe. Maybe not. Can I at 62. I sure can.
I retired early to enjoy life, not get richer or have a bigger estate for my heirs. $2,000 now compared to $3,000 at 70 sure sounds like a great way to improve my quality of life to me while I'm able to appreciate that quality of life.
