Working past 70

[DazedandConfused]

If I continue to work past 70 I know I will continue to pay SS, but does my SS increase for the extra paid in. Also is it mandatory to take your SS at 70?

I must admit, I envy the fantastic job you do at financial planning, and discipline! Obama would not approve of your self reliance, and overall financial discipline!

While 56% of workers say they have a retirement plan, only 10% have it written down. At least half of those with a plan, written or not, say they’ve factored in Medicare, Social Security and health costs.
