They explain the eligibility window (ages 62–70), how delaying benefits increases monthly payments (7% per year until full retirement age, then 8% until age 70), and the concept of a break-even age (typically 82–83). The conversation highlights the importance of personal health, financial needs, and overall retirement planning when deciding when to claim. The episode concludes with a standard disclaimer, reminding listeners that the information is general and not specific financial advice.
