Welcome to “Ask Stacy,” a new video feature on Money Talks News. Most weekdays, I’m doing short videos to answer a money question sent in by a reader or viewer. (Learn how to send in a question of your own below.)
Today’s question is about Social Security, specifically, whether you should you take it as soon as you can get it, or get a bigger monthly check by waiting until you’re 70.
Click “play” and see what I think.

Got a question you’d like answered?
You can ask a question simply by hitting “reply” to our email newsletter, just as you would any email in your inbox. If you’re not subscribed, fix that right now by clicking here. It’s free, only takes a few seconds, and will get you valuable information every day!
The questions I’m likeliest to answer are those that will interest other readers. In other words, don’t ask for super-specific advice that applies only to you. And if I don’t get to your question, promise not to hate me. I do my best, but I get a lot more questions than I have time to answer.
