📊 More Retirees Are "Unretiring," Here's What It Says About Today's Retirement Reality
Episode 421
Saturday, 25 April, 2026
A growing number of Americans are heading back to work after retiring... not by choice, but by necessity. A new survey from AARP found that 7% of retirees re-entered the workforce in the past six months, up from 6% in summer 2025. The biggest reason? The rising cost of living. In fact, as Peter with Richon Planning and Erin Kennedy discuss: 💰 48% say they returned to work because they need the money or feel uncertain about the economy 📈 41% say everyday living costs are the biggest financial pressure ⚠️ 67% believe it would be difficult to find a new job today This trend, sometimes called "unretiring," highlights an important reality: retirement planning isn't just about saving enough… it's about building a plan that can withstand inflation, market volatility, and unexpected expenses. In this interview, we break down: ✔️ Why more retirees are returning to work ✔️ How inflation can quietly undermine retirement plans ✔️ The risk of assuming you can always go back to work ✔️ Strategies to stress-test a retirement income plan Planning ahead can help ensure retirement remains a choice — not a financial necessity.
