Think 65 is the magic age for full Social Security? Think again — if you were born in 1960 or later, your full retirement age is 67. Claiming early means permanently lower payments. But 65 matters for Medicare — missing Part B enrollment can cost you a lifetime penalty, and those premiums often come straight from your Social Security check. Your benefit is based on your top 35 years of earnings, so low-earning or gap years can hurt your payout — working a few more years could make a big difference. The average at 65? Around $1,600 — know what that covers before you claim. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
