3 Signs You Shouldn't Claim Social Security Benefits Yet

You've been working your entire life, contributing to Social Security with every paycheck. Now that you've finally reached retirement age, all you want to do is start collecting those retirement benefits and enjoy your golden years. And who could blame you?

You can file for retirement benefits as early as age 62, and 42% of men and 48% of women elect to do so, according to the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College. In 2013, only about 40% of people filing for benefits had reached their full retirement age (65 to 67 depending on what year you were born).
