Life is meant to be lived and we need to change our attitudes about working and living. If you enjoy what you do, then why retire? You, Bill, obviously haven't slowed down! This is a great informative blog. I think we need to remove the word retirement. Life is meant to be lived and we need to change our attitudes about working and living.

Retirement for me is an option and not to be forced. Everyone just have to stay healthy and competitive. Force retiring someone is a waste of talent and experience. The younger people has so much to learn from them, a longer transition period is needed in a workforce. But if incase when situations calls for it, there's always an option for retirees, even when relocating abroad, they can always find a part-time job just to sustain or add a little to their savings. Its just a matter of planning your retirement, and where to retire. make a research on where you can relocate with low cost of living and have available jobs in the market for your talent or experience.

I agree. The recession is taking a toll on the baby boomer generation. I can say that because I am slightly older than that generation. But I don't feel that old. And I have found a way to transition from corporate America. i feel that many baby boomers will have a difficult time finding new jobs. I feel there is plenty of age discrimination out there. I experienced it myself. But that shouldn't get us down. There are plenty of alternatives. Yes, many have seen their retirement savings hurt by the recession - the stock market crash and falling home prices. But I feel that most who have been hurt will recover. Most are well educated, aggressive, and creative. Many have had successful careers. They are also accustomed to giving - giving to help others. Many will find the work from home, internet network marketing industry as a great alternative for utilizing their abilities and helping others. I know they will succeed. .-= Scott Hubbard´s last blog ..<a href="http://working-from-home.squarespace.com/survive-economic-recession/2010/1/24/a-job-or-an-internet-home-based-business-opportunity-moms-an.html" rel="nofollow">A Job or an Internet Home Based Business Opportunity - Moms and Dads Must Answer This Question</a> =-.
