Early Retirement or Late retirement?

People are starting to have a rethink, and planning late retirements instead of the usual dream of early retirement. Many are getting to 60-65 years of age and realizing their not ready to give up working, either because of money concerns or just the fact that they would drive everyone up the wall if they didn't keep themselves busy! Many people are taking to working part time for themselves to keep the income flowing during their retirement years, with a study showing only 57% planned on retiring at 63 or older and only 11% saying they wanted to retire at 55. So have a rethink about your retirement plans and make sure you won't drive everyone up the wall upon life after work.
Retire? Not So Fast
"Ron C. Owens, a Baltimore marketing consultant, squirreled away money for years with the goal of retiring at 62. But when he at last hit 62, he found he wasn't quite ready to quit. Finally, at 64, he sold his share of a Northern Virginia ad agency. Now, at 66, he still spends 20 hours a week advising clients on multicultural marketing and new business development. He's earning just 40% of what he did before and not drawing on Social Security yet." Forbes
