Overview: “Many older Boomers — including those, like Paganucci, who have yet to turn 62 — say they're willing to accept a smaller payout in exchange for an opportunity to retire while they're still young enough to enjoy it.

And rising prices for gasoline, airfares and groceries threaten to shred their retirement budgets."
