[quote=gzz]Flu, did you try the SSA calculator as I suggested?
I just checked mine. If I “early retire” this year and make 0 further ss contributions and start collecting ss when i am 67, I will get ~$18k per year. If I wait until I am 70, it will be ~22k.
I am sure you would be much higher than me. I only had $10k+ of social security earnings for 14 years, or 15 including this year.
I would guess you are more like 25-30 years of contributions. They use the highest 35 years to calculate the benefit.
The website also lets you get a free replacement social security card. Mine was lost a long time ago, so it was nice to get a replacement with a few clicks.[/quote]
