Title: Here's what you lose by taking Social Security before full retirement age Hola Folks, we're working on a story about the risks related to taking Social Security before full retirement age, usually around age 67. We're not pushing people to wait, we're just pointing out the main downside issues taking payments before FRA. We need these queries answered for the story: 1. Are Americans more likely to take Social Security early or wait until age 67? What are the main issues in making the decision and why? 2. What are the biggest reasons to wait until full retirement age to take Social Security and why? 3. What are the biggest risks in taking Social Security early, especially at 62 and why? 4. What are the biggest mistakes when making early versus later SS payments and why? Thank you.
