Many people look at the idea of delaying Social Security benefits as a wise long-term move. And in some ways, it is.
After all, doing this can raise your benefits. However, we all know how circumstances can change our lives without warning. This can also lead to disruptions in our retirement plans.
Take this story, which details the decision-making of a woman who decided not to take benefits at 62. But after an unexpected tragedy befell her family, she now looks back and regrets delaying Social Security benefits.
Hindsight is 20/20, but tales like this help give us valuable insight. If you could potentially glimpse into your future and see the unexpected before it happens, would your retirement plans change?
