This is
especially a problem for workaholic types who’ve been
logging 50 or 60 hour work weeks for most of their adult
lives. And for people who have no hobbies, outside
interests, or children, the hours of the day can seem to
stretch on and on.

There are also financial considerations with retirement.
With people living longer than ever, and the ever-increasing
cost of living, it’s becoming harder to retire with a
comfortable standard of living (especially if you want to
travel, upgrade your home, buy expensive furnishings, etc).

Which is where phased retirements come in. In one recent
survey, over 60 percent of workers between 50 and 70 years
old said that they’d like to work part-time before they
fully retire. These older workers also want retirement
benefits, health insurance, and other benefits — although
most realize that a smaller paycheck will be part of the
deal as well.

Not all employers are willing or able to allow their older
workers to ease into retirement.
