I've emailed SS three times. The first time, they said to use one of their three calculators. They ingored my second and third e-mails that were reworded.
The problem is that all of their calculators assume that I will work until I'm 62. That's my question. How much will I suffer for not working 6 years?
Next year I'll retire at 56. I will have worked 35 consecutive years for MegaCorp. My last SS document says I should get $1550 at 62 ASSUMING I continue to work until I'm 62. I'm not looking for anything specific, but can anyone with experience guess what percentage of that 1550 I'll lose by not working for 6 years? 1%? 5%? 10%? 30%?
