Good idea? Maybe?
Most literate seems to discourage this but I’d appreciate opinions.

My only hesitation is that your income limits how much you receive in SS income.
Are you still working?

If you are working they'll take back 1 dollar for every 2 you earn. The monthly amount you receive at 62 increases by 25% if you wait until 66-67. I wouldn't do it.

I think you get the withholdings back when you reach full retirement age.
But you just gave yourself two income haircuts.
1) less SS to invest and compound
2) early retirement haircut which is roughly 25% less (and 25% less for cola adjustments in the future).

Take it as early as possible. Period.

That’s terrible blanket advice.
