Not at all. I have yet to see ANYBODY who 'ups their game at age 80 and takes off running into active retirement. The people I see who wait for the maximum end up either dying before getting any SS, or dying well before the 'break even' point. The ones that make it generally don't have use for the extra $$$ per month at that age unless it's used to pay for hospice care. They certainly aren't buying jet-skis and taking ski vacations abroad.
Many people are under the delusion that they will feel the same at 75 or 80 as they do at 60-65. I can think of 3 or 4, but that's it. |

Bottom line is, Yadkin will be 65 in a month or two, still skis, is still active, not fat, not out of shape. As you stated, he's a 'scrawny little ****.". His dad lived into his 90's, so I see Yad doing the same. So even if he waits until 70, he'll draw SS for 25 years. Like the termites and roaches that walk the earth, Yadkin will be here long after we're gone. ![]() |

What does this mean? To get the max SS benefit, you would have to make above the max taxed for 35 years.

Saw a video of him skiing with his son about a year ago and he was in fine form. I'd say in better shape than probably 90% of the people posting here.
How many of you still ski? Or can wear sport shirts you've had for 35 years? ![]() |

I could wear any piece of clothing I had 35 years ago, but wouldn't. It would look ridiculous because all of it would be way too big for me. Late '80s and early '90s were when I was big into lifting weights, and weighed as much as 255. I'm 215 now.

I didn't think it would be there, and the .gov would go to stealing it. Again. So at 62, I went ahead and signed up. My wife retired from teaching a couple years ago, so we have really good health insurance as well as her pension, as well as money wisely invested. 0 debt for well over 20 years. We never spend all of the income we have every month, so the SS is just gravy. We have decided that we both have no desire to be the wealthiest people in the cemetery, so we informed our kids that we're going to piss the money away on a helluva lotta nice trips all over the US, and whatever we want to do, they would be able to split a few mil worth of real estate. Being a full time, professional **** off is awesome. YMMV. |
