I started thinking more about social security claiming decisions over the last few years and we contemplated retirement. I have been surprised that no one seems to discuss what might happen in ten years. I do not expect it to be eliminated but I can see some variation of means testing or some reduction of the monthly amount. For those of us who will turn 70 about that time, it seems that just doing the math based on no changes to the way benefits are calculated and paid could have higher likelihood of being incorrect compared to the same analysis done by our parents.
To the OP, I do not think any decision that you would make is likely to make much of a difference. If you feel better starting now, that may be enough of a reason to go for it.
