My ship has come in...I have received my first Social Security check.  Didn't have the pleasure of opening the envelope because SS requires direct deposit.  Still, I am ecstatic.  I opted for taking out MY money as soon as they would let me.  They do this big song and dance about waiting until you are your FULL retirement age and get more money per month.  Who are they kidding?  Not me.  I want MY money now.  And I have the first installment.  Goodie for me!
