美國政府有關領取退休社會保障福利的年齡,也就是領取退休金的年齡有這樣的規定,我們以在上世紀60年代和在此以後出生的人的退休年齡為例,他們的完全的退休年齡(the social security full retriment age)是67歲,但是據統計,在62歲時就開始申請退休金的人占了可以領取退休金人數的2/3。這些提早申請退休金的人是否應該等待呢?在這裏就講講在62歲時申請社會保障福利退休金的原因和7個好的理由。
先舉例,以最後工資年收入6萬刀為例:
看圖:Social Security Breakeven
年齡: 62=$1,180x192mon=$226,560
67=$1,789x132mon=$236,148
70=$2,320x96mon=$222,720
從圖中能看出,以在62歲和在67歲拿退休金時每月能拿多少為例,在大概76歲前,62歲拿退休金的人每月會有損失,但等到了都是76.5歲時拿的總錢數就持平了。
再看下麵的這張圖:
兩張圖片來自網絡
我個人認為,上麵所說,不是提早拿退休金的主要理由,這還得看自己的身體狀況、經濟條件和當時的通貨膨脹等等因素來綜合考慮。
實際上根據網上資料顯示,美國人申請在67歲以前拿退休金的情況是:
1. Early=small check-but more of them
2. American can expect to live a lifespan of around 78.6 years
3. Breakeven happens at 76+/-
不過有的人提出了提早拿退休金的可能存在的7點好的理由:
1. Filing unlocks another family member's benefits(#1 spousal);
2. Filer does not expect to live to "break-even";
3. Low or no provisional income now vs. later;
4. You will adopt a higher spousal benefit when your partner files;
5. Your partner's life expectancy is short(ugh!), and you will adopt a higher survivor benefits when your partner passes;
6. You'll have extra cash to spend early in retirement; and
7. Just need the money...
這個東西讓人頭疼,越想越糊塗。我的計算方法是假定一個壽命,例如83. 那麽就是越早領取越合算。而且,到手的錢,能自己花,才是錢。
要是忍著不領取,到70才領取,沒過幾年401k就要RDM了,這稅又上去了。
一筆糊塗賬,我要早領,65歲就領。

If you earn over $18,240 in wages or salary, $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $2 in earnings above this threshold. The retirement earnings test might thus prevent you from double-dipping on income sources or paying off debt. ”
所以有些人會不選擇全職工作,也就是掙的不超過$18,240, 不過有的全職工作好像也掙不過這個規定的數,總之,是不想被扣押社保金。
不明白為什麽 “申請到退休金後,就不能有全職工作了(full time job)”?
既然無法預知生命的長度,那就拓寬生命的寬度吧。

謝謝提醒,我今天終於查到了,原文如下:
“Here's what happens if you collect Social Security early while working
To answer the most basic question, you absolutely can work, part- or full-time, while receiving Social Security benefits. However, there are rules that limit how much of your benefit you're allowed to keep depending on your claiming age, full retirement age (i.e., the age you become eligible to receive 100% of your monthly benefit, as determined by your birth year), and your earned income.
For example, anyone receiving Social Security benefits who won't reach their full retirement age in 2020 (or any current year) is subject to what's known as the retirement earnings test. The retirement earnings test allows the Social Security Administration to withhold some or all of your benefits based on much you earn. In 2020, early filers are allowed to earn up to $18,240 ($1,520 a month) before withholding kicks in.
If you earn over $18,240 in wages or salary, $1 in benefits will be withheld for every $2 in earnings above this threshold. The retirement earnings test might thus prevent you from double-dipping on income sources or paying off debt. ”
你很樂觀,這是正能量。活的長很多人都能做到,可是活得要有質量才是我們要追求的。當今這個社會,不是好死不如賴活著的時代了。
對於中國人來說,隻要不是很晚才來美國的,經濟上應該沒問題的,無論何時支取都不會有財政困難。所以主要取決於62歲時的身體狀況,我估計大多數人都不會取的,老中各個都奔90去的呀。老楊行,俺也行。
現在延遲到70歲才領社會保障退休金也是變相為自己買個保險,以防萬一不小心活到99怎麽辦?
當然前提是你現在錢夠用。
記得有個朋友估計自己能活到99歲,所以買了人壽保險,其中就有一條是活到99歲就可以拿到賠償金,結果天有不測風雲 人有旦夕禍福,在TA76歲時由於癌症去世了。所以有時我覺得越早拿越好,有時又會想,萬一一不留神活到99歲呢,嗬嗬。。。人有時會很矛盾的
一般來說,如果估計活不過78歲,那麽就62歲退休拿社保金為好,如果估計能活過78歲,那麽可以選擇67。但是,因人而異,每個人的人生觀,金錢觀各有不同,所以何時退休沒有定規,沒有標準答案。
看來,在美沒錢退休也沒什麽可怕的,至於要攢多少個米才能退休,對多數老美來說就是天方夜譚,隻有有些老中才有這個追求和炫耀。
申請到退休金後,就不能有全職工作了(full time job),看來提早領退休金,還是有著不小的吸引力。
