Believe It or Not: Boomers Are Retiring and Liking It

Contrary to many misconceptions, believe it or not, boomers are retiring----and once more, they are enjoying it.

In an article on the Huffington Post50 website, entitled "Boomers---Will They Shun Retirement", the author, Sara Rix, discusses several studies that show that boomers are in fact retiring at or near the retirement age of 65 and are enjoying their retirement. One study shows that 7 of 10 retirees really like retirement and have adapted to it quite nicely.
