UN-Retirement - Aging with Class: In our research on the “Perfect Nest” for the Silent and Boomer 
Generations we focus on where and how aging people choose to live. Personally, as a REALTOR® I love the idea of creating a home space that can work across many generations…and have written about multi-generational neighborhoods and homes.
- "Age-in-place” - types of remodeling and/or repair projects -
- Universal design- benefits when incorporated- the Aging in a PALACE© (as opposed to "aging-in-place") concept makes sense to Baby Boomers.

Interestingly, the Unretirement Index –(Knowledge Networks for Sun Life Financial)- shows that “Unretirement is now a realistic concept across age cohorts .
And an Un-retirement Survey (by Merrill Lynch) indicates that boomers are not inclined to go the traditional retirement-leisure route. "Baby Boomers fundamentally will reinvent retirement,” James P. Gorman, president of the Merrill Lynch Global Private Client Group told the press.
Here is a research survey on the subject. Possibly if, like me, you are a REALTOR© working with clients considering retiring or UN-retirement, you (and your clients) might find it of interest…
Let me know what you think.
