"I hope to go to Africa and make myself useful."
How the bubble did that get in there? You don't retire to wander off to join some do-gooder crusade.
Actually, the thing that interests me most is the labour shortage conundrum. We often hear of this and have for years. Little ever comes of it. The great teacher shortage predicted for Ontario never arrived. The great trades shortage in Alberta doesn't seem large enough to hire all the locals.
A labour shortage would be a boon for retirees. They could actually begin to make a few demands in critical areas like working hours, compensation and benefits. May it come! Just don't hold your breath.
