Rethinking Retirement
In the not too distant past, retirement was a very straightforward process for most working people.
The average middle class working professional would spend a substantial number of years (if not their entire working life) working for the same company. When a certain, specified age was reached the employee was then waved off with a pension package that would be sufficient to allow him or her to maintain a decent standard of living as an official retiree.
All very reassuring, right?
