Retirement Planning

Retirement isn't what it used to be. The traditional view of retirement—working until a certain age, spending your remaining years rocking on the front porch, while your company pension plan took care of you—is all but extinct. Some people voluntarily retire early in their 40s and 50s. Some, because they find work the most fulfilling thing in their lives, work well past 65. The single most important reality is the fact that age has been revolutionized. We are simply living much longer—in the last century, the average life expectancy at birth has risen from 47.3 to 76.9 years. Now many define retirement in terms of activity, because there are good years left: travel, going back to school, volunteer work, the pursuit of hobbies and sports…in short, serious pleasure.
