Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
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.”
