Much rather help him than see the meth heads wandering around PP naked or 1/2 naked. Not just street 172 either, they stagger around all areas of the city. A very depressing sight that the Police happily ignore.

Meth heads need deporting, not this chap.

Of course the most obvious reason is if you aren’t working and need money. Another reason is what you think your life expectancy may be.

The break even point for the amount of benefits from starting at 62 and 67 is almost 17 years.

The break even point between 62 and 70 is several years later, until your early to mid 80’s.

Then you have to concern yourself with Medicare, if you decide to apply for it, which you have to apply and pay for at age 65, whether you are collecting social security benefits or not. If you apply after 65 there is a pretty hefty penalty with higher premiums for life. There are only a few circumstances where you can wait until after 65 without the penalty.
