Why are You Still Working?

1 rich Libsyn https://www.libsyn.com 90 600 Why are You Still Working? Andrew Rosen, CFP®, CEP, writes in a Kiplinger article how to walk through several common reasons people keep working — even as retirement comes into view. Rather than looking at money first, the author looks at motivation and breaks it into five broad categories: Category 1: I must keep working Category 2: I probably should keep working Category 3: I want to keep working Category 4: I’m afraid to retire Category 5: I don’t know why I’m still working The author suggests borrowing from a concept by Artiste called "First Principles Thinking".
