So? What's your point?
Most people start working at age 22 or so. If they work till they are 60 that's 38 years. Isn't that enough if they can retire?
It probably depends upon your defition of “retirement”....I guess I’m thinking more of people CHANGING their work at what USED to be retirement....part time, less physically demanding, etc....but, IF people mean going golfing and lazing around....I just think it’s bad for your health and not so great for your economy.
