Article upon article report that older workers PLAN to work past traditional retirement age.
It would be more correct to say that most people do not plan at all - they HOPE to work later in life.
We need to be really careful to distinguish between the words - plan and hope!
There are few templates for learning to work later in life. But, one truth is certain - "You get what you plan for - not what you hope for!"

As Ken Dychtwald describes the working preferences of those over 50 (mature workers)
they either stop somewhere in their mid-50s and play golf-- go fishing.
they decide they love the competition, the comraderie and the excitement work provides for them and continue working as long as there is gas in their tank and as hard as they can.
they decide a middle ground either to meet needs (health insurance), not saved enough, or their work still brings them excitement until the project ends.
"Traditional retirement" has different features, Dytchwald's podcast available through Ameriquest financial, explains. There are a few phases his team's study interprets that clearly should become part of everyone's vocabulary who is entering this phase of life.
My career choice in my mature years has been to develop a new set of skills and re-emerge in several areas. I have time, health, resources and introductions that are making this possible.
