Claiming Social Security at 65? Think Twice | Business and Finance News

Thinking about claiming Social Security at 65? It’s a big decision — and while your full retirement age is 67 (if born after 1960), going early means smaller monthly checks. But it’s smart if you need the cash flow — maybe due to health or job changes — or if you’ve saved enough to enjoy life now, even with reduced benefits. Just don’t confuse it with Medicare: you’re eligible for that at 65 regardless of when you claim Social Security. The right move depends on your personal situation — income needs, savings, and lifestyle goals. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
