Today’s tip will cover “What is the best age to start collecting social security”

The decision you make about what age you start collecting social security benefits is an important decision that will impact you for many years. Understanding the impact of taking your benefits at ages 62, 67, 70 or any age you choose is important because depending on when you claim your benefits this can affect your overall financial and retirement plan.

Waiting until age 70 to start taking your social security retirement benefits is generally the best, however this can vary depending on your marital status and your health. Age 70 is the date when you get the highest benefit which is your full retirement age amount plus increases for every year that your held off collecting.

Now remember, there is no single method that is appropriate for everyone when it comes to when should you should claim your benefits. So, I would suggest you work with a CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ professional like myself before making any decisions.
