Regret for Taking Social Security at 62

Recently, I posted about a retiree who regretted waiting until 70 to collect Social Security.

Here's an article about a retiree regretting starting Social Security at 62.

A summary of her regret is that the Social Security is not enough money to do all the things she would like to do, now that she's 72.

Of course, hindsight is always 20/20 for both regrets.

In my case, I'm still happy to have started at 64, now that I'm 67 and past my FRA (Full Retirement Age).
