Game On- Act III Your Anti-Retirement Playbook

Question of the Day- What is fun? My response- I'm a blogger, a writer, a social media manager- I find reading, writing, networking and being able to express my inner creative are my professional fun. Personally, all things family are for the most part fun. I say for the most part because those warm and fuzzy family moments that infringe on my replenishing, steamy bubble bath, may cause me to raise an eyebrow. Having just finished my latest project, anyone that know anything about me would add that planning is fun.

Author Excerpt

Did you know that:

* In most countries, the idea of retirement is of recent origin, being introduced during the late 19th and early 20th centuries.

* Previously, low life expectancy and the absence of pension arrangements meant that most workers continued to work until death.

* Germany was the first country to introduce retirement, in 1889.

* The Social Security Act of 1935 popularized retirement in the United States.

Social Security is not secure.

Pension demands are destroying many municipal economies. The Crash of 2007 destroyed the personal retirement plans of many. And for many more, the idea of retirement = stagnation.
