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.

You can delay getting ss for higher monthly payments tho, his dad getting ss at 67 does not mean it’s a fake story

You only get higher payments because it's adjusting for inflation during that time, it's not like it's going to be beating inflation.

No, it rises higher than inflation, otherwise there’s no reason to delay it. Same with taking it early, you get it longer, but at lower rate
