Ideas:
“  I am currently working on a new model for evaluating when an individual should decide to start her Social Security benefits. The model incorporates the reasoning that for lower-income seniors dollars become more valuable as one ages. This is accurate for at least the following reasons: 1) the ability to earn money decreases as one ages; 2) dollars to cover basic health and welfare are more critical as one matures and is not as flexible with respect to basic needs.  ”
