I know, I know... retirement is changing. The baby boomers are different. But I've got to say I'm getting tired of hearing it.
This month's Kiplinger's has, as one of the cover stories, "Retire to your Dream Job." Something about that just strikes me as wrong. Retire used to mean that you stopped working. If you are leaving one job just to start another, that isn't retiring. That is a career change.
I understand the whole concept of leaving a high-stress "have to" job and replacing it with an enjoyable "want to" job, but ultimately, work is work. If you are working, you aren't retired. Am I the only one bothered by this?
