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.

    scientifically human. But suburbanites are primarily the boss class and not the working class. The two classes have nothing in common. The members of the boss class often act incredibly fake, hence my intentional choice of the phrase “real people.”

      In a lot of cities, the suburbs are the only place people can afford to buy houses, so that simply isn’t true.

        Where is this true? Europe? New York (which is just Europe but claiming to be in America)

          No, the U.S. Most city cores are far more expensive than the suburbs if you want to buy a home. Look on Zillow for comparable homes if you don’t believe me.

          Also, how is New York “Europe but claiming to be in America?” Did they get universal healthcare and subsidized college education when I wasn’t looking?
