I have a small pension from an employer that stopped contributing to it years ago. I realize the amount is small, and it probably doesn't mater much, but I was looking at the numbers there other day.
Current age 50, DW 56 Assume average life expectancy
NO COLA 100% survivor benefit
Take today at 50yo $189 month
Take at 55yo $222 month
Take at 65yo $317 month
It seem to me to be increasing at approx 3.25% per year. I was thinking it might just make sense to start taking it now, but certainly don't mind waiting. I have the feeling it doesn't matter much either way. Wondering if I could get input from others who are better with number than I. Thanks
