“If everything is perfect, 70 should probably be the goal,” Copeland said. “But nobody’s life is perfect.”
This was my favorite line from the article. Apparently, 70 is the perfect age to retire if you want to maximize SS benefits, because we are incapable of living without SS.
To be fair, they were talking about when you start collecting SS, not when you retire. It was actually saying that it if you are FIRE and don't depend on SS for income, delaying makes financial sense - a perfectly reasonable point.
IDK, I thought it was overall a pretty evenhanded article. It pointed out a few caveats, but it wasn't doing a Suze Orman type hackjob...
