I'm 66 and Collecting $3,000 a Month in Social Security. Should I Wait to Start Tapping My $1 Million IRA?
Briefly

The average retired worker on Social Security collects about $1,924 per month. If you're getting $3,000 a month, you're ahead, but you may need more if accustomed to a higher lifestyle.
Financial experts generally advise that if you can afford to let a $1 million IRA grow longer, you should. This delays taxes and increases accrued savings.
Managing your $1 million nest egg is crucial; using the 4% rule allows for withdrawals of $40,000 a year, enhancing your lifestyle significantly.
While Social Security can provide some comfort, aligning your retirement savings with your personal satisfaction and lifestyle goals is essential to ensure financial stability.
