CBS Moneywatch.com blogger Steve Vernon zeroes in on The Hard Times Guide’s chapters on working longer, noting that staying at work past age 65 “is becoming standard retirement planning advice from many financial writers. . .”
One good source of inspiration and information for finding retirement work comes from a great book by Mark Miller: The Hard Times Guide to Retirement Security: Practical Strategies for Money, Work, and Living.
Mark devotes a number of chapters to finding work that offer realistic and appropriate tips for boomers. One table I particularly liked, distilled from a comprehensive report from the Urban Institute entitled Will Employers Want Aging Boomers?, showed 20 of the fastest-growing occupations with above average proportions of workers age 55 and older.
Steve is a former actuary who I’ve quoted frequently on issues related to longevity issues. He also has contributed a number of great guest articles to my RetirementRevised.com website.
Along with his regular posts at CBS Moneywatch.com, Steve heads up Rest of Life Communications, a firm devoted to no-nonsense retirement education. He publishes an especially useful free eNewsletter, to which you can subscribe here.
