Hit The Road In Your Fifth Wheel At 62

Over the next two decades, nearly 80 million Americans will become eligible for Social Security benefits, with more than 10,000 retirees per day filing for their Social Security benefits. (Oh, and here is a tip from me: Start drawing your benefit as soon as you are eligible, I know, it's a lower amount at the minimum age of 62, but all the experts say to go that route. Of course, if you don't particularly need Social Security benefits as part of your retirement income, by all means, wait to get the higher amount.

In order to gird themselves for the tidal wave of new filers, sometimes referred to as the "Silver Tsunami," Social Security has shown the way to "higher ground" by developing a wide-range of convenient and secure online services.“Filing for Social Security benefits online is easy and convenient,” said Ms. Casey-Kirschling. “I urge my fellow Baby Boomers to give Social Security’s online services a try." Hey, if #1 baby boomer says so, it's good enough for me!
