...grandpa hasn't retired because he still owes on his house and cars and credit cards and everything else he owns. You cannot spend more than you make indefinitely. Sooner or later it comes time to pay the piper. I have been retired since I was 57. I don't owe anybody anything.

Why Grandpa Hasn't Retired
By Evan Soltas Mar 14, 2013 7:17 AM PT

It's well known that the U.S. is turning gray. It's less well known that the workforce is turning gray as well. The percentage of Americans who are 65 and older will rise from 13 percent in 2010 to 20 percent by 2030 -- and, if the recent trend continues, a growing share of those elderly Americans will carry on working past the normal retirement age.
