We’re well aware that today’s retirement is absolutely nothing like your parents’. It’s actually more like your own first entrance into the working world, only with a lot more cash in the checking account and experience on the resume. If you are intrigued, we strongly recommend you read a recent editorial by Dayton Fandray called “Reinventing Retirement” in the January 2012 issue of Alaska Airlines Magazine (on page 74). I think Dayton does a wonderful job explaining how the new breed of retiree does not want to retire, but instead wants to transition into a new career or cause—and supports that argument by showcasing several inspiring baby boomers that have done just that.
