Give me a museum and I'll fill it. (Picasso) Give me a forum ...
^^^ Except the return is not guaranteed and you have to live to a certain age in order for the return to be positive. BEP with a 2% real rate of return is about age 82 and just gets better after that.... it is likely that either DW or I will live to our early 90s so we will be collecting that higher benefit for many years after age 70 and it will be worthwhile for us. Now OTOH if we get run over by an 18-wheeler while traveling in our 70s then it will be a poor decision. You takes your chances.
Below assumes a $1,000/month PIA at age 67 and 2% real return.
