Sure, depends on your situation, both health and finances.

I took SS at full age of 66 and cut back to 4 days, then a couple of 
years later to 3 days. Quit at 71.  My job was not physical and I liked 
what I did and the people I worked with.

Eight years later, I think I mentioned here before, I still talk to Sue 
every Saturday morning. We've been talking to each other for 33 years so 
why stop now?
