Social Security early?

By Terry Savage on April 03, 2025 | Social Security

Not too far from retirement. I am 64, divorced and payout 26% of my income in maintenance. It has been tighter financially then I would like. Should I start withdrawing from SS? when I am 65?

Terry Says

Not if you can possibly help it. Your benefit will be substantially reduced for the rest of your life. Could you figure out a way to earn a bit more money each month?? That would be the best solution. And it’s only for three years!
