Traditional ideas about retirement need some sharp readjusting now that so many of us are healthy and active for decades beyond the traditional retirement age. What those readjustments will be, however, is anything but clear at this stage. Contradictions abound. Questions multiply.

These 'think pieces' are our musings on some of the questions and contradictions surrounding retirement.

QuoteWe have tried to say fresh things. We may be wrong in some of our thinking, of course, or only partly right. Our intention is that the pieces start you thinking about these issues, too, and that then we can all talk about them.

What we would like most of all is to hear from you. Which ideas did you find useful, which not? Which sensible, which not? What has been your experience in these matters?
