My own contrarian guess is that the notion of retirement is changing, but it is still far from dead. In this issue’s cover story, senior editor Eric Rasmussen examines the idea of early retirement, which is still a priority for some clients, particularly after a nine-year bull market.
There is a certain irony, but the viewpoints of these clients and those of Dychtwald, Anthony and Edelman aren’t completely at odds with one another. The more people who actually retire will create greater opportunities for those who don’t.
