Yes. My question was whether people use their savings to make up for their SS benefit until it become available or if they wait and consider SS as a 'raise'.
By this definition, I am pre-spending SS. I didn't really think of it that way. I am also pre-spending tax preferred accounts till age 59.5. At this moment I'm pre-spending a very small pension I'll turn on later this year.
I never thought of it in those terms. I have a steady spending in firecalc, i-orp, etc... (Adjusted for inflation). I guess you could say I'm pre-paying taxes too - through Roth conversions now (pre-59.5), and tapping/reducing tax deferred accounts pre RMD.
