Taking Social Security at 62 is causing Seniors to lose 30%
Why would you give up 30% of your social security check?
Many Seniors who would get full benefits at 67, are taking their Social Security at 62 for various reasons.
The problem is, its costing them up to 30% of the income they could be collecting by waiting.
For each year benefits are claimed before full retirement age, they're reduced as follows:
6.7% a year for the first three years.
5% a year for each year thereafter.
That turns into a large chunk of income.
So why is this happening?

What is happening is many Seniors are experiencing job loss or health issues which prevent them from working.
Taking the early benefit in this case makes sense, if you have no other way to avoid it.
For instance, what if you could tap into a reverse mortgage at 62 and draw from that until you hit 67.
Then you could keep your full benefits. You could even repay the money you drew out of your reverse mortgage if you want to.
This is something you should talk to your financial advisor about, if you have one. If you don't have one, get one now. Time really is money. Waste time, waste money.
Another point is many Seniors are still carrying a lot of consumer debt at 62. If Seniors who are in this position at 62 had focused on paying off their debt in the years leading up to retirement, they could have a very different situation at 62.
If you are under 62 and a mortgage plus at least 4 other debts, you should get a free savings analysis from us (see the button at the bottom).
