For over 30 years, Anna Rappaport has been researching, writing about and shaping responses to the changing demographics of our society. Focusing on the future of benefits and implications of an aging workforce, she is widely recognized in the business, policy and retirement communities.

Anna’s article Reboot, Retire, or Rewire caught my eye recently when it was featured by Michael Kitces. In it, she explores what the future of phased retirement looks like and the many different directions that people are moving in, and reminds us that having a balanced “life portfolio” is worthwhile and important. 

Today, Anna joins the podcast to talk about why retirement can’t be a permanent vacation, what the future of “traditional” retirement might look like, and what the last 16 years have been like for Anna, who has enjoyed a deeply satisfying phased retirement when she retired in 2004.
