If you can find those limits on the SS site, I'd appreciate it, because I
sure can't. I do recall a number of years ago if you took early benefits,
you reduced your SS check by (guessing here) $1 for every $2 you earned,
and I believe that applied if you retired at full retirement age as well -
but even then it was all moot once you reached 70.5 and could then earn all
you wanted and still get your full SS check due you.
