Hello group.
Given a whole bunch of things going on in my life and the economy, I have been spending a lot of time lately looking at the feasibility of my retirement plans, that to date have simply been in my head. And I have to say, I am pleasantly surprised!
I am 51 years old, married, my youngest just turned 18, and I have worked in corporate America for 27 years now, and always had it as a goal to retire (from the 9-5 corp world anyway) around 55. And probably like many of you, I have only recently had the guts to start checking the balances on my retirement accounts again.
Anyway, for now, the one question that made me search for retirement forums and landed me here:
How can I estimate my SS income if I don't draw in it until well after I quit working?
I just created an account at the .gov SS site, and it gives me the estimated 62/67/70 benefits. But that site assumes I will be working until those ages, and trust me, I will not.
I'd like to get a decent estimate of SS benefits for if I retire at, say 58, and don't draw SS until, say 65. I googled SS calculators but didn't find much. Just want a reasonable estimate.....
Thanks in advance, look forward to participating here in the future....!
