I think that the key to whether boomers continue to work OR whether they can retire ... is all about fulfillment. When people feel a sense of purpose, either through their work or through their interests, then that is what makes the difference. Anyone can continue to work if they enjoy what they do. What often happens is that people retire and then realize they no longer feel as though they contribute or feel passion. Then, of course, there's the opportunity to ReInvent and "finally" seek that which you've always wanted to do. Thanks for your research.
