Getting off topic, but there are reasons almost all financial planners recommend healthy people delay taking social security payments. Reasons not just for themselves, but for their lower earning spouses as well.
Certainly no guarantees in life, but my family members have tended toward living into their late 80's to even the late 90's. I started drawing at 66, my full retirement age. DW started drawing at 66 from my ssa, and will switch over to hers at 70, allowing hers to grow more. And it doesn't affect mine.
