If the income is in addition to other retirement resources, will you be able to use the cash earlier in your retirement where you're presumably physically capable of putting it to use (hobbies, travel, etc.)? OR, will the cash be needed at later stages in life to supplement needed support services? The social security income can be used for so many things it's difficult to use a pure actuarial model to determine what gives your more cash. What gives you more utility? | |
