Retirement is dead, or at least retirement as we know it. A new survey of American adults over the age of fifty finds that seventy-five percent of respondents have zero plans to retire from the workforce. Most plan on working in some capacity, some hope to explore new and interesting careers that allow flexibility to live life in a relaxed fashion. Many are calling this the “Antidote to Aging.” But the real driving force, an economy that wiped out a third of the boomer’s wealth and left them holding the bag.
