"The amount of money you get from Social Security each month will hinge on your personal wage history.

It's worth considering a later Social Security filing rather than an earlier one. If you claim benefits at 62 and slash them in the process, you'll have less income to fall back on if your savings happen to run out. That would leave you in a position of having to cut back on spending at a time in life when that's not easy to do. For each year you delay your Social Security filing past FRA, your monthly benefit gets to grow by 8%, up until age 70."
