It's possible because they can begin collecting their Social Security benefits at that age, though at a lower level than if they wait until their full retirement age of 66 or older. But before quitting their jobs, baby boomers need to think long and hard about whether they're ready financially and psychologically to move into the next phase of their lives, experts say.”

Many Boomers are retiring from one career, but taking up another -- perhaps something they've always wanted to do, but haven't had time for, like writing.
