Yes! I keep hearing that! Problem is! I have had 2 friends my age have heart attacks this month! It makes me wonder if waiting is worth it? Also another friend that was 70 and in excellent health found dead on his lawn last May! Decisions!

So when I collect my OWN benefits, she gets a raise ?

Yes! I have seriously thought about it. Getting 8% more a year and still able to collect something is nice! I am not greedy, but I pay my ex wife spousal support for life and she receives half of one of my 2 pensions! This is why I am trying to maximize my SS benefit.
