I don't get the big deal,either you want to answer it or you don't.Unfortunately I'll have to wait about 15 years to answer this so I'll make sure to come back in 15 years with an update lol
There won't be any left in 15 yrs, those of us on SS are blowing it all now.
Have a plan B for sure.
I took mine early (62). I did the math and the "break even" point vs waiting until I was 65 (my full benefit age) was about age 83 or 84.
First wife died at age 56, never collected a cent even though she paid in max for many years.
Second retired at same age, etc as me, and died at age 69. So taking it early was best.

YMMV
SS encourages us to wait for later full retirement,
they know fully well we don't live that long to break even.
Gotta laugh at everyone saying its a personal question, but I wonder are these the same folk who are bragging in other threads how much they have socked away.

It is interesting that all the financial advisors keep telling us to delay getting SS as long as possible to get bigger payment.
What? Really? I guess you had/have a large salary for a life time...
Crazy... I became disabled, my SS is less than $800.00. I do get my health care taken care of via medicare and medicaid. No other cash stipend.. a few food stamps.
