RE: Why Aren't People Retiring? (Part Two)
Thank you for both posts about retirement. I still have a while to work. But, I've noticed with myself that I have to be doing something or I get fidgety. Both of my grandpa's worked into their 70's before retiring because they liked working. In the long run I don't think I will ever retire. I may "retire" from the 9 to 5 job, but I will replace it with other work. My plan is that when I am in my 60's and 70's I'll still have a job; it will just be at my own hours.
I've also seen fewer retirements in the workplace. And I believe it is remnants from the recession as well as people not saving as much either.
Thanks again for the post!
Ya know what's interesting...I read a study where they said that elderly people pass away quicker after retiring if they don't have anything to do on a regular basis. That can include hobbies, or another side gig.
WOW Really @mrdeerants ? My grandma said something about her friends similar to that. She said that she has better health than they do. And she has to go to work everyday.

Thats still retiring I feel like, When you can choose what you do with your time, You've made it! I love that attitude though, I'm the same way. I love lots or projects and work in my life. It makes me feel fulfilled.
