Another factor is that the aging population is generally healthier and can work longer than prior generations. I have no desire to stop working at a specific age. Working keep me mentally sharp, while contributing to solving problems as opposed to being a burden on society.
- yulaow 7y agoI think most people would prefer to retire and work in project which interest themselves which often have no financial sense or would not be financially viable unless you already have an income which can maintain yourself. Eg: I have zero interest to work for megacorporation for the next crud tool, but I would "work" even 10hours a day for a lot of open source projects I like which would never be capable of paying me, so I look forward to retirement and I wish I could, already today, not work just to keep me and the economy afloat
- agumonkey 7y agoHow many retirees found it hard to abandon their field even though the pressure was too tiring for them ? Maybe full retirement is too strong, and should be obvious only in physically tough jobs, but for others a semi retirement, as a wise/consultant in their company could be a good compromise.
