I heard an economist on a podcast say "we each own the production of one worker, which is ourselves." I also read the CEO of BlackRock cautioning that we have an old-age crisis brewing. I suspect we'll see these perspectives converge as people remain in the workforce till they just can't work anymore, and that's when real retirement will kick in.
I don't think I'm too old but I do feel like the world of work thinks I am. Highly frustrating.
I know! This is turning into a three part series, I think, because there is a lot to cover.

I'm writing about that next week, I think. There's a total mismatch between people's needs, their preferences, and retirement policies.
