When can you apply for Social Security ? And is it better to collect at 62 years old ?

You're supposed to apply about 4 months before you want the benefits to start - and 62 is the earliest. If you delay taking your benefits, I'm pretty sure the amount will increase.

At 62 you get 75%. At 71 you get 125%. So you have to do the math of what makes sense to you.

You'll be penalized for applying before your full retirement age - 66 or 67. You will get a larger benefit if you wait until age 70.

We live in Florida and currently have a Freshman in High School and a 16 month old. We hear from our friends and family with college bound children "I wish we would have done Florida PrePaid." After obviously ignoring this for years, we are finally trying to do it before "it's too late" for both children.

Does anyone have recommendations on which plan to go with for each child? I once did the pros and cons on a whiteboard and it seemed like 529 was better.
