Baby Boomers Plan Their Retirement Careers

Working after retirement from your primary job or career does offer a chance at a do-over. You make the important point that we have the chance to recall our past work experience with its ups and downs, and choose a different path.
Of course, in today's economy seniors won't have a tremendous choice of opportunities, so maybe the time is right to become your own boss and really do what you love.

I am 58 and love my job, co workers and compensation are great. However Monday morning I am hating to get up and really feel around 62 may be the right age; it is funny how your body begins to tell you it's time to take it easy. I have my ducks in a row for retirement, wife and I both have pensions, 401k, Roth IRAs. I could give up my postion and I know my wife will at 62. I take a vacation and feel good but the next Monday I feel on the treadmill again. I figure it will be 62 or 66 but definitely not 70 or more unless the economy totally tanks.
