It is interesting you mention 70.If you are concerned about the risk of your portfolio, you probably want an annuity. And if you do want an annuity, delaying Social Security is the best annuity available. If you can live off your portfolio through age 70, delaying all the way to 70 is likely the best strategy, as you will then have a much larger guaranteed income for the rest of your life.
The 55+ community that my mom lives in sends out emails when residents pass away.
On Monday, a man 70 died in his home. His obituary suggested donating to the Michael J. Fox Foundation. I am guessing he died from Parkinsons.
Since I don't have a spouse, I wonder whether collecting earlier makes more sense.
