Have you made an appointment with your area SS office. Sounds like you may be more excited about paying income on social security benefits than I am.I need to know more... to lazy to (and I don't trust "financial" people). Might as well get good information from TBN!!!
So, I plan to take my SS at 62 in 6 months, I don't need to (I have pensions and savings) but when else do I plan to actually USE the money?
Regardless, my question is about what you mentioned above "...My wife is drawing off of my account until she turns 70 since our birth years are before 1954...." Is that only for people born before 1954 and my wife, who was born 1962, could not get half of my SS early???
If your wife expects to draw off of your social security benefits, why not wait and let them grow because cashing in social security at 62 can be costly because she will get half of whatever your social security is.
Talk with a SS Rep and your tax advisor Monday.
