Default Re: Retirement Revolution
I saw some of it and while they did show some people working into their 70's for financial reasons they also showed others like me who are looking for an 'encore' career. Something that is somewhat opposite of their first career. For me it is going from software programming to becoming an RN. It is somewhat about money in that I don't want to work for a low wage, I'd rather just retire if that was the case. I'm moving into something that interests me and pays a decent wage.

I was disappointed that i didn't see the type of people who retire to TV on the show. Those that want to be active (almost hyper active) in their retirement years. I actually think that is becoming the norm. At least i didn't see it on the part of the show that i saw.
