I did the math(as best I could anyway) and found that no matter how long I lived I would never live long enough to re-coop the money lost on not filing sooner instead of later. So I filed as soon a I was eligible.
Mine is in the 200's. Maybe it is more like the sooner you filed this years taxes(for 2019). Sounds reasonable.
Maybe but lots of folks don't file.
That is why most experts tell you to have enough in savings to get you through. I know its tough. But if you can do it then that 2nd retirement will arrive in what seems no time. When you retire, time seems to just fly by cause by then you are no longer waiting on anything. When working, we time ourselves to not only a daily schedule but also a yearly one, a retirement date, etc. When retired and no longer waiting for X to happen, it seems to fly by.If I retire in September with my 25 years, I'll receive half my current paycheck in retirement until my second retirement kicks in at 59 1/2 yo. Half of measly equals even more measly.Not something I'm willing to do quite yet.
Agree. But you will get yours sooner because you have direct deposit from ss. Those that do not file taxes, need to go to the irs website and enter their info to have theirs direct deposited or to even sign up for the stimulus. You don't have to cause of ss already making that direct deposit. I know, the gov never makes anything simple.

I’ve been vaping my Açaí mix while reading about SS,taxes and Stimulus checks. Still liking it and going to try my second Açaí mix soon.
Exactly! And that savings is what I'm working on right now and why I'll continue to work a little while longer. I am finally debt free since I paid my house off five years ago. Saving was difficult being a single parent with no help. But I'm working on it! My life plan, after a few bumps and bruises, is right on track. For now.That is why most experts tell you to have enough in savings to get you through. I know its tough. But if you can do it then that 2nd retirement will arrive in what seems no time.

Time already flies by...I want it to slow down.
I'm 54 so not eligible yet.
Too funny.Vaping peppermint juice right after eating peanut butter
it's friggin' NAAAAAAAAAAAAAAASTY!
I hope I ain't that old.So are you trying to tell us yours was one of the first SS numbers issued?

Well, they were going to make us (i.e., those who get SS and don't file) file and then decided just to deposit the money in our accounts. That's simpler.Agree.

I have nothing to file
But look what they were going to do until someone figured it out. A lot of extra stuff with zero benefit for them. At least by making it somewhat simplier its a win-win.
Good luck with slowing down. lol I am busier now being retired than I ever was when I worked(even 2 jobs). All those things that get pushed back when we have jobs now become higher priorities on our lists. And no excuse, now, not to do them. They just take a smidge longer because we are older and don't move as fast as we used to.
