Traditional retirement as we know it, a reward for work well done or the inevitable end of a life well lived depending on your perspective, is changing dramatically. Baby Boomers have created this change because they continue to work beyond the traditional retirement age of 65 in significant numbers. The number over the age of 65 in the workforce has grown to 27 percent for men and 20 percent for women and it is expected to continue to grow.
