At 62, you become eligible to claim Social Security benefits, but it’s worth noting that your full retirement age extends well beyond that. The general belief is that claiming Social Security earlier is logical if you are in poor health.

Retirement is a significant life transition that requires careful planning and consideration. For many, the decision to retire is complicated and involves financial and personal factors. While some individuals may eagerly anticipate their retirement, others may be hesitant or unsure about when they are ready to make this major life change.

Regrettably, only some people enter retirement in excellent health. When you’re in your early 60s, and you have several health problems, you may believe you won’t live very long, which may motivate you to file for Social Security benefits early.
