 Well, obviously, I think every American knows, I think it's ingrained in American DNA, that if you're eligible, you can take Social Security at 62. What less people know, however, is if you delay taking it until your full retirement age or even up to the age of 70, you could get a whole lot more per month. And to put some numbers out there, I've read that the average monthly Social Security benefit is about $1,900 a month.
