I'm another August Baby Boomer that did the math and decided to start collecting my check at 62. Even though I applied 90 days before my birth date in August my first check will not arrive until 2 months after I turn 62.
I've gotten use to being a non paid ,forced to retire, building contractor for the last 2.5 years because of this lousy economy so....Ah....At least in a few months I'll have a little pocket money again to spend on the old cars again.
I started trading my time for money at age 12 mowing lawns and doing odd jobs so 50 years is enough already.
Ditto to posts #17 and #18
