I'd rather receive no adjustment if the price is coming down

This story if full of nonsense. The right question to ask is NOT how many dollars you are receiving for social security payment, but what you can buy with the payment.

Story is bogus

I was born in Feb of 1947 and applied in October of 2008. At that time Social Security sent me an estimate of $1470. In April, when I got my first payment it was $1547. In checking I was told I got the 5.8% raise, which went into effect in January.

Mistake?

I am 64 and chose not to take Social Security early when I turned 62 or 63. Did I make a mistake that will cost me money? Does this mean that I will be getting less than if I had elected to start receiving Social Security last year or the year before? If so, that does not seem fair.
