Traditionally, retiring entails leaving the workforce permanently. However, experts found that the very definition of retirement is also changing between generations.

About 41% of Gen Z and 44% of millennials — those who are currently between 27 and 42 years old — are significantly more likely to want to do some form of paid work during retirement.

This increasing preference for a lifelong income, could perhaps make the act of “retiring” obsolete.

Although younger workers don’t intend to stop working, there is still an effort to beef up their retirement savings.

It’s ok! Don’t ever retire! Just work until you die, preferably not at work, where we’d have to deal with the removal of your corpse.

    “private retirement plans”

    Were you speaking towards a SEP/IRA?

    Don’t expect the government to do something for you (especially in the US).

    When everything is said and done, I can’t see them ever ever letting Social Security fail, at all. That would truly be the spark of a revolution if so.

    Older voters are the best voters, so at the end of the day they’ll make sure that stuff stays intact, one way or the other. Even if it means they have to build less battleships, etc.

      you know? that’s actually a valid point.
