Rethinking Retirement for Baby Boomers

Listen Tuesday, Aug. 11, 2009 at 1:06 p.m. in Society
Guest host: Rebecca Roberts

Retirement is fast approaching for millions of baby boomers -- if they can afford it. Experts say many middle-class boomers will run out of money in their later years, raising the specter that some will have to delay retiring or go back to work. But many boomers say they're okay with that, and that the idea of an idle retirement doesn't jibe with their values. We look at the evolving meaning of retirement and how boomers are approaching their so-called "golden years."
