Intractable Retirees? Not Any More
April 25th, 2008
The Earth Times recently reported on a study conducted by Transamerica Retirement Management, Inc. The study polled working adults 55 and over about their expectations of retirement, jobs such as Business strategy consultants can see people working into their late 70s, their plans for retirement, and their feelings about the uncertainties of transitioning into retirement and being financially secure.
The study debunks the widely held belief that retirees are generally intractable. In fact, a majority of the people surveyed indicated that they find change exciting or that they believe they are able to handle whatever comes.
