New American employment model might be this:

Rather than work to earn a pension that insures you can quit work but
maintain your lifestyle, work toward developing a career that you truly
enjoy and is personally fulfilling. When the day comes when you turn
55, 60, 65 or whatever and your frinds ask if you're going to sit back
and clip coupons from here to the finish line, you can look them in the
eye and say "I couldn't imagine giving up my job! I enjoy it far too
much to consider quitting." IMO, that may be the secret to a
satisfactory old age..........(but it might be nice to have the
financial resources to get by if it became medically impossible to
continue working)


Amen! Funny...we keep getting told up here that we will need x number of
new workers to come and support the system, but the reality is...few jobs
are available. With so many young people desperate for a decent paying job
there aren't a lot of part time jobs for retired folk who might like to
supplement pensions.
