So correct me if I am wrong - but Social Security recipients have already

12. No you can't. Ret. age was raised to 67.

You know, just cause you had certain rights doesn't mean that today's and tomorrow's retirees have those rights - and they don't.

For anyone born 1960 or later, 67 is our full retirement age. For current retirees it is 66, and for people born between `1955 and 1960, it goes up 2 months each year.

What that means, if you'd like to get real about it, is that the OP'er will get a benefit cut of 30% if the OP'er has to retire at age 62. Welcome to our world.

Your reply ignores the fact that current retirees don't have the option to retire at 62 any more - that option has been taken from us. A $1,000 retirement check would turn into a $700 retirement check. Your blissful ignorance is another's pain, and implying that the OP'er is just being greedy is rather offensive.
