My grandfather was still very active at 95 and lived to 99 and change. I feel the same about me as I do Mr Ed. As long as we are still enjoying life, go for it. If I am not happy or healthy, kill me. |

A big part of the rationale was that I smoked (a lot) for almost 40 years. I figured if I made it past 80 I wouldn't mind the lower monthly SS check, but I'd just pat myself on the back for each extra year. Still feel that way. |

I would like to make 100. 100 what? :) Well, I surely hope you do! I would too, but I wouldn't want the last dozen to be in a memory-disabled home. |

As far as breakeven point I've seen 84 years old referenced many times as the age. I just pulled this from a US News and World Report article, "Depending on taxes, inflation, and investment returns, the range of break-even ages goes from 81 to 86 1/2. There is a similar range of break-even ages in the comparison of benefits begun at age 66 to age 70—from the age of 84 to nearly 87." I'm mostly retired now at 61, but I expect to wait until 66 and 2 months, my full retirement age, before I collect. I never smoked, both mom and dad did, my dad died at 74 with major heart disease and my mother at 84 with COPD.

So depending on interest rates, and inflation break even changes. My mom made it a couple weeks short of 96. She worked part time until 91. RN. So if able and healthy, longevity is fine. |
