Thank you all for the well wishes! Just returned from a nice lunch with loved ones to celebrate the day. Just three more years until social security and actual retirement. You young folks keep contributing yearly to the pool of monies...I will be needing it.

3 years? Is not 65 the time you can get on SS?

Oh boy I "get" to pay for private insurance till I am 67.
In other words, have to work till 67 to afford insurance which I hope and pray I will be able to do. I am 55 now and 12 years appears to pass very quickly as I age. This may sound nuts but I was hoping to be a deacon when I retired and I still hope I will be able to do such at 67. In the mean time I shall consume the service offered by our officers at church when needs be. God bless them.

If you wait until the full retirement age keep in mind your spouse will be able to claim your benefits at 50% of your full benefits, too, when she reaches full retirement age. If she worked and is eligible, her own benefits may be larger, and there are caps on the total amount a husband and wife may receive in combination. When the time comes, the meeting with the SSA folks will lay out the various ways one can tackle receiving all that you both are entitled to. Then there are the aspects concerning the situation when the high earner spouse dies and what the surviving spouse may claim. All very complicated and worth consulting SSA specialists that make a living sorting this all out with folks.Persons born between 1943 - 1954 will have to be 66 before being eligible for full SSA benefits:3 years?

Medicare still starts at 65. If Social Security is deferred to age 66, you have to pay for Medicare Part B directly until you turn 66 at which time it is deducted from your check.Persons born between 1943 - 1954 will have to be 66 before being eligible for full SSA benefits:3 years?

Yup. Around $105 a month with $166 deductible in 2016 if your income is less than $85K. Lord willing, I will be switching to that in two years and get out from under Obamacare's ridiculous premiums and high deductibles.
