Default The Cracked Nest Egg
Unlike jungle (who tends towards deeper articles wherein the author uses long and hard to pronounce words, and where I have to look up the meaning of some of these words in dictionary.com), I prefer to read stuff that's in plainer English. And nothing is more plain than "Work Until You Die."

From BusinessWeek:
There is a major social and cultural message in the current economic collapse for the future retirees of America: Forget retirement.

That's right. The recession is making clear what we've suspected for a long time. The concept of not working and embracing leisure for the last third of one's life isn't practical for most people.

Put it this way: Survey after survey has shown that a majority of aging baby boomers plan on working in retirement. Well, that plan is coming true.
