Life insurance may provide peace of mind for the policyholder that their loved ones will be taken care of financially in the event that they pass away. It can also offer a number of benefits that may make it a valuable tool.
It all depends on your requirements. For example, term life insurance is worth considering if you are looking for immediate protection without having to commit to a permanent policy. You can consider whole life insurance if you want a versatile life insurance policy.
Your Social Security benefit is based on your earnings over your working life. The Social Security Administration (SSA) formula to calculate your benefit takes into account 35 years of earnings history—the highest-earning years are given the greatest weight when calculating your benefit amount.
Zeros will be included in the calculation if you have less than 35 years of earnings history. It’s important to understand that not all income is counted towards this calculation; only wages from jobs you were covered by Social Security are taken into account to calculate benefits.

The earliest age that an individual can start collecting their earned Social Security benefits is 62. However, this age will continue to rise over time in accordance with changes in life expectancy. If you decide to collect your benefit before turning 66 (full retirement age), you may receive a different amount than you would otherwise have.
Alternatively, if you delay collecting your benefit until after your full retirement age, you could receive up to 8% more per year for each year after 66 (up until 70). This makes it essential for individuals to determine when they should begin collecting their social security benefits based on their situation and goals.
