Is 69 a Good Age to File for Social Security?
When we think about filing for Social Security, several key ages tend to jump out. Age 62, for example, is the earliest point at which workers are allowed to start taking benefits. Age 70, on the other hand, is the latest age you can wait on benefits and collect incentives for doing so. Then there's the period of 66 to 67, which constitutes full retirement age for those born in 1943 or later.
In fact, of all the ages at which one might decide to file for Social Security, 69 is by no means popular -- but it's an option nonetheless. The question is: Is it the best age for you?
