A Distinction Without Merit

MY HOPE: THE DISTINCTION between work and retirement--between being productive and suddenly being unproductive--gets a whole lot murkier. I make that argument in How to Think About Money and also in a new Money magazine article, which was posted online this morning. Want a happier retirement? Forget days of endless relaxation, and instead think about what will give a sense of purpose to your final decades. You might find that sense of purpose in part-time work, which may also ease the financial strain of retirement.
