Retirement is supposed to be the endgame – a chance to leave the working world behind for good and settle into a completely new phase of life, ideally with a healthy superannuation balance. That ideal, though, is no longer everyone’s reality, and the result is a growing trend of retirees returning to work.
Why are so many people opting to “unretire”? There’s no one reason. Australia’s 4.2 million retirees are all individuals, with their own circumstances and motivations.
