Contemporary Retirement
Retirement is changing. The type of retirement that their parents enjoyed is no longer enough for the baby boomer generation. Today’s retirees are younger, richer, fitter, healthier and better educated than previous generations of retirees. They also have much higher expectations. The aim of this blog is to help you get the vital, healthy, prosperous, productive and fulfilling retirement that you really want (and deserve).Thursday, May 11, 2006
Will you continue to work in retirement?
I found an article on the BBC website which claims that 70% of the population say that they want to continue working in retirement. However, they don't want to work full-time - they prefer part-time, flexi-time or even a whole new career. Coincidentally, I came across this article on the day that I had started a new poll on an on-line business networking group that I belong to. The poll was entitled: 'What do you want to do when you hit the traditional age for retirement?' and, by the end of the first afternoon, 10 people had responded with 7 of them stating that they wanted to continue working. Only 1 of the 10 wanted to have a traditional 'rest and relaxation' retirement.
