Reply To: Rand Paul Wants to Change SS Retirement to 70

Average life expectancy of a male is 78, so you only collect for 8 years. Total BS. Average life expectancy of a woman is 81. Im going to get a sex change operation when I hit 78 so I can collect SS an extra few years. Chess not checkers.
When France raised their retirement age from 62 to 64 they had riots in the streets. In America we just bend over and let the politicians rip us off.
If you can swing it, collect at 62 ( unless they change that too). If you don’t need the money, invest it. The system is rigged to discourage you from taking your money early. Covid saved the social security fund a lot of money.
