The New Retirement: Why Many Are Choosing Work Over Leisure
Manage episode 465263621 series 2854350
A recent article on Fortune highlights a growing trend among baby boomers: continuing to work well into their 60s and 70s. Surprisingly, this not out of necessity, but for the mental stimulation, social connections, and fulfillment that work provides. With nearly 20% of Americans over 65 still employed, this shift is challenging traditional views of retirement and sparking important conversations about what it means to truly retire.
Join us as we explore this growing trend on today’s show. Trent and Brandon have seen firsthand how important it is to have a plan for how you’ll spend your time in retirement. Could staying in the workforce be the right choice for you?
Here’s some of what we discuss in this episode:
- The importance of knowing what you’re retiring to
- The loss of purpose and loneliness that some retirees can feel
- Some considerations to keep in mind if you’re planning to work part-time or as a contractor
- The shifting attitudes toward work and retirement in younger generations
