According to CNN 68% of workers between 50 an 70 wanted to contine working in some capacity
When I read this article I thought that is so going to be me in about 25 years or so. I see that working is a priveledge and anything you can do to improve your life, I say go for it!
More and more older Americans are working past the so called retirement age. Whether it be to supplement their income or to keep themselves from getting too bored. I'm beginning to wonder if there will be any retirement by the time we are ready to retire, but I won't get into that subject.Personally I like to stay busy and always have several irons in the fire. Sure, I would like to maybe work only part time and have more time allotted for leisure activities but I will always be doing something if my health permits. Did you know that according to the U.S Census Bureau the number of centenarians, people who are at least 100, have more than quadrupled in the last 30 years? So I guess that means we will all be around longer than we thought.
Overall I think you should work as long as you can but enjoy life at the same time. I am so fortunate at this point in my life to have a job that I love and a 2nd job that I have created for myself that I can do well into retirement. Life is good and I am fortunate to be healthy and happy and plan on staying that way.
That is a big question will we have retirement when we get older? I sure hope so I know the chance are thou we will not have any that’s just how things are looking for us.
