Retirement Poll Results (Money Magazine)

[Midpack]

For those who like to point to some "data", recreated from a recent issue of MONEY magazine.

Nothing earthshaking IMO, just a presumably broader (quantitative) perspective than the ER.org audience alone.

They noted their sources, but I did not copy them down...

Thanks Midpack. Good to know that the Jonses are trying to keep up with me.

Interesting to note that a high percentage of the sample said they want to slide into retirement slowly (42%). I would guess that means working part time for a period.

Looks like all the retirement gurus were wrong. Having a purpose is overrated, it seems.

I never quite grasped why I needed a "purpose" beyond living and being a good person. Maybe others feel the same.

Thanks for posting. I agree with the good health rating. The only retirees I know who are unhappy are those in poor health.
