The dictionary defines retirement as "To withdraw from one's occupation, business, or office; stop working."

However, I think that perhaps you are interested in starting your Social Security while you are still working.

A few things:
1) You can not start Social Security until you are at least 62 years of age.

2) There are numerous financial benefits related to delaying the start of Social Security until your maximum retirement age. Learn more here:

3) You may continue working after you start taking Social Security, but your Social Security earnings may be impacted and taxed. Learn more here:

And, there are so many benefits to working as long as possible. Learn more here:
