The end of one thing is the beginning of another.
My brother in law wants to work until he is 70 to maximize his SS money. They were on the first leg of a trip in Arkansas, he tripped on a trail, fell, landed on a big rock and broke his hip. Now his vacation is surgery, physical therapy and recovery. I hope this wakes him up because life can and does change in an instant.

He needs to take a look at how little the benefit is waiting until he is 70...the difference between what I am earning now vs what I would make per month then is not really that much.
In fact...I started drawing mine at FRA and still worked another 18 months. So the SS I was getting was just money I could put away extra. Better in my hands making it work for me instead of it in the governments hands..
Sorry what happened to your B-I-L....it sucks that these things can and do occur.
Imagine working your last day of work....your friends have a going away dinner for you and your spouse at a nice restaurant. On the way home a careless/drunk driver plows head long into your car and your wife survives and you don't?
That happened to a peer of mine in the industry I worked in...
