Out of necessity many boomers are set up businesses that produce a living and fit into a retirement lifestyle.David Letohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812482108962723457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896998645146042950.post-26182399184446450512012-05-27T04:01:56.542+03:002012-05-27T04:01:56.542+03:00I see it as being able to do what you really want ...I see it as being able to do what you really want to do without being tied to a job you don't like. But if you really enjoy your job, why retire. It must be possible to cut back your hours or transfer your skill set to some other incarnation of work.David Letohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17812482108962723457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896998645146042950.post-30022203099223878312012-05-26T11:09:50.763+03:002012-05-26T11:09:50.763+03:00Saying good bye to a day job is our view of retire...Saying good bye to a day job is our view of retirement. And that is good- not tied up to 9-5 day job. But retirement should never mean good bye to activities as well. I know a Professor from Germany who visited our country to share his expertise. He has white hair but still very active. He's 75 years old! Oh well, he has retired from Bielefeld University but his activities has not generally changed.<br /><br />Retirement should mean doing great things without the pressure of a boss or hitting some quota. <br /><br />Best regards,<br />BelindaBest Merchant Accounthttp://www.nextpay.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7896998645146042950.post-46285604312333158572012-05-02T00:11:38.716+03:002012-05-02T00:11:38.716+03:00Wow, those are some amazing stats. Seems to me the...Wow, those are some amazing stats. Seems to me the whole concept of retirement--if that means no longer earning money through a job--is just about obsolete. I'm 55, and I intend to work part-time as long as I have a few useful brain cells left and can find interesting and fun opportunities. Besides the money, it keeps me engaged with a network and my brain and body a bit more active than otherwise. Besides, my wife said I had to. ;-) It's all good.Kurt @ Money Counselorhttp://mymoneycounselor.comnoreply@blogger.com
