Retirement
Last updated: 25 July 2010
On All Things Considered this week (Sunday 25 July 25th at 8.30am, repeated on Thursday 29 July at 5.30am), Roy Jenkins and a panel of guests discuss retirement.
Everyone will soon have to work longer before being able to draw a state pension.
Now that most of us are expected to celebrate significantly more birthdays than our grandparents, there is simply not enough in the coffers, we are told, for all of us to retire when we might like to.
A grim truth this, for those who have been longing for their day of release; maybe something of a relief for workers who dread retirement, believing that when the job ends, life will too.
How should we handle that kind of fear? How should we be preparing for retirement? And how can we use it in ways which reflect both our beliefs, and our need to go on being useful?
