Social Security at 67 Revealed | Business and Finance News

If you hit 67 and claim Social Security, your average monthly check is just over $2,070 — but that’s a mixed bag including early starters. The real kicker? Waiting until full retirement age (67 for most) gives you your full benefit, while delaying to 70 can boost it by up to 24%. Those who waited until 67 without claiming earlier actually get closer to $2,600 — proving timing matters big time. Remember: Social Security is meant to be a foundation, not a paycheck to live on. Know the numbers so you can plan smarter for your retirement. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
