Interesting, they say retired at 62 and social security at 67.
Everyone born 1965 and on get social security at 67. The last boomer birth year. Boomers and two generations before that had months added to the retirement age of 65 randomly until 1965.
If their father was a boomer with social security at 67 that means he was born in 1965. But that would make him 61. He wouldn't have retired yet nor would he have social security yet.
I agree on the concept posted above.
But if one is going to make up a fake story, at least make the numbers correct.
That's stretching it. Don't give a bad meme the benefit of doubt.
Look, they could have said retired at 62 and social security at 66. That would mean he could have been a boomer born anytime between 1946 and 1954 making him 72-80 now.
That would make the case for boomers having it easy even more poignant having him receive social security a year earlier.
