John covered it well. A few additional thoughts.
For me, my wifes SS benefit is very small. So even though I may not live long
(heart stuff
) by waiting until I am 70 to start SS I can maximize her survivor benefit which may be significant if she lives until an old age
(which runs in her family
).
There are numerous SS calculators on the internet, I found this one to be easy to use and understand.
