“Welcome to ‘Unretirement’: Most Older Americans Say They’ll Keep Working,” by Bernice Napach, ThinkAdvisor

 

Quote: “A new Harris Poll conducted on behalf of TD Ameritrade finds that a solid majority of Americans age 40 and older plan to continue working after retiring. And of those who intend to keep working, most plan to work their entire lives.”

LTC Comment (from Stephen A. Moses, President, Center for Long-Term Care Reform):

How ironic! We used to have to work until we dropped unless we took personal responsibility to save, invest or insure for a secure old age. Then the government insisted on helping us with Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid. Now, we have to work until we drop again in spite of … or because of … those government programs which are on the verge of bankruptcy.
