Walter Russell Mead notices that us baby boomers haven't been
saving enough for retirement.............................
"But the essence of maturity is to balance future needs against present wants and take appropriate actions; millions of Americans haven’t done this, and they are now looking at the results."
He then proceeds to suggest that non-retirement may not be
such a bad thing after all..........................
"Work is not a horrible chore one endures just to pay the bills, it is one of the core things that constitute a healthy, active, and fulfilling human life. The fact that older people can continue to work into their seventies and eighties should be celebrated — greater engagement with the world in your old age is a positive thing."
