The most repeated advice on receiving Social Security is to wait as long as you can afford to before filing. American’s might finally be listening to this advice as a recent survey showed more and more are waiting until at least the age of 66. In fact, the number of those waiting has doubled since 2000 to include 26% of retirees waiting for increased benefits. Although, many can’t afford to take this advice and are forced to take early benefits even though they know they are missing out.
