Rising prices are leading some retirees to think about heading back to work.
According to a survey from ResumeBuilder.com, 1 out of 5 retirees say they are likely to start working again this year. Among that group, 69 percent cited the growing costs of living as their reason for resuming their careers. Faced with the highest inflation in decades, some retirees are reconsidering whether they left their jobs too soon.
“There is no longer a retirement age, and people want to be engaged longer,” says Stacie Haller, a career consultant with ResumeBuilder. “Others are returning to the workplace for financial reasons, and in this new work world, there are now more options for them to return with the advent of remote work [and] more part-time work for older workers who cannot commit to a full workweek.”
ResumeBuilder conducted the online survey of 800 participants at the end of March. Each respondent was at least 54 years old and retired.

If you want longer engagements, raise tariffs to protect US industry. Will result in fewer layoffs and more stable employment.
I have worked 3 days a week since retiring.
I would like to work more now, but Social Security says I can’t unless I want to reduce my SS check.
All the government has to do is send everbody some free money to counteract the effects of inflation.
Last year I came upon an opportunity to create a small business. I figured it would be nice to supplement my income as I ease into retirement. Well, the darned thing took off. We amortised our investment in two months! Now we’re talking about expansion, diversification, etc.
Why didn’t this happen when I was 20?
Wonderful, just as the younger generations are on the verge of finally having a chance to get out of middle management and never hear the words “Can you fix my Word Document” again, their baaaacccckkk.
Please, Go away Boomers
Worth repeating.
Government still giving out covid-cash?

“There is no longer a retirement age, and people want to be engaged longer,”
Retirement age and collecting Medicare. Likely be forced to work until I am seventy. Unless Trump gets in 2024 and fixes my 401K (lost a ton).
“ Please, Go away Boomers”
Believe me, we want to, we are trying to, stop electing Democrats…stop giving us The Squad and Stacey Abrams, stop letting them get away with fraud…and we will, happily.
We are all ‘Boxer’ from Animal Farm; worked into the grave and then unceremoniously shipped off to the glue factory when we are no longer useful to our “betters”.
I’m not returning to work. No way, no how!
Our home is paid for so we have a place to live (as long as we can pay the property taxes), and we have two paid-for vehicles. So, all we have to have is enough funds to pay the power bill, insurance, and a few groceries each week. If things get so bad that we can’t manage those few things, then our entire nation is at the point where we all may as well “kiss our [backside] goodbye!
Well I’m retiring end of July and am 65. SSI can keep the extra bucks as I want off this clown car!
Because you weren’t as smart back then.
my husband works part time, and i’d much rather work for the home than go get a crapola retail job.
I’m not lazy- but i’m not crazy about customer service, and there’s always a customer.
Great, just what we need, wage suppression thanks to retirees who are already better off than most of the country returning to the workforce to undercut the rest of us.
