While much attention has been directed to Baby Boomers' eligibility for Social Security in 2006, another important milestone has been largely overlooked. On July 1st, 2005, the first Baby Boomers reach retirement age-- as defined by the Internal Revenue Service. Those born January 1, 1946 turn age 59 1/2 on July 1st, 2005, and may withdraw from retirement accounts without the 10% penalties levied on early withdrawals.

The good news is that yet another report has come to the forefront about how the Baby Boomers moving into retirement may just raid the Social Security coffers and leave nothing behind. Perhaps, this time the politicians will take notice and take action.
