General information

Question text: Imagine Mr. Gary Osborne, a single man approaching age 62 and planning his retirement. Mr. Osborne currently earns $60,000 a year. Although he is in good enough health to continue working, he has a 401(k) plan that would give him $1,200 per month in addition to his Social Security retirement. If he starts claiming Social Security retirement at age 62, his monthly benefit would be approximately $1200. If he waits until he turns 70, his benefit would be approximately $2300 (adjusted for inflation).

At what age do you think he should start claiming his Social Security retirement benefit?
