Wait until how old?

Obviously the author is not close to the ages she is recommending Boomers work until.

"and not draining public resources"

Uh, Emily, I suspect that by now, you have been pretty well indoctrinated in the concept that the money that was involuntarily withheld from everyone's paychecks and called "Social Security" or "FICA" is now "public funds." And I know there is no account set aside for me that contains all those withholdings.

But it galls me to see you imply that I'm doing something wrong or evil by withdrawing Social Security benefits.

They are not "public resources," madam. They are taxpayer's funds that has been confiscated by the Federal Government.
