When Claiming Social Security Early Makes Sense | Business and Finance News

from Business & Finance News Today | 2 Min News | The Daily News Now!

Claiming Social Security at 62 isn’t always a bad move—sometimes it’s the smartest financial decision. If you lose your job around that age and can’t find work, early benefits can cover bills instead of debt. If your life expectancy is shorter due to health or family history, you might actually get more total money over time. And if the market crashes after retirement, claiming early lets you avoid selling assets when prices are low. It’s not for everyone, but for some, it’s the right call.
