You're moving forward, like it or not, to retirement. Some of you may already be retired, or cutting down on the workload. A recent poll in Time Magazine notes that 20 percent of seniors between 50 and 75 work for pay. Of that group 42% do not consider themselves retired, but plan to do so. On the plus side, 60% of those polled say they perform volunteer work. We'll get into that in another article.
Today's senior isn't about to sit back and relax (although 28% claim they do), a whopping 68% are using retirement as the opportunity to start new activities ranging from tennis and golf, to travel and the Internet. Keep active, keep young seems to be the mantra.
