Dh just retired last month and received his first pension check a couple of days ago at age 60.5. I’m still working.
He’s said all along he’d take his pension at 62, and I’ve always gone along with it, but now I’m thinking we should at least consider it more seriously.
Dh is 3.5 years older than me. I will not get social security on my own, nor will I receive any of dh’s, because of my own pension.
I know typically everyone on this site says defer until 70, but I’m wondering if not having a spousal benefit would change your recommendation?
Thanks for your thoughts.
