More Americans Taking Early Retirement Instead of Delaying Retirement

In a poll sponsored in December by CareerBuilder, 60 percent of American workers over 60 stated that they plan to delay retirement.

A larger than expected number of American workers are retiring early, however, many of them believed to be laid-off workers, according to report in the Los Angeles Times.

Early retirement claims are up 25 percent from last year with more people choosing to retire at age 62 instead of 66, said Stephen C. Goss, chief actuary for the U.S. Social Security Administration.

The surge in younger American retirees dispels expectations that older people who suffered financial losses in the recession would delay early retirement and work longer to rebuild their assets.

Here are three retirement resources to help you retire early.

"101 Reasons to Love a Recession" - Free E-book

I have completed my new E-book called 101 Reasons to Love a Recession:

The e-book is available as a free download at the following websites:

• Creative Free E-books:
• The Retirement Café
• Love-a-Recession.com
  

Here are two benefits of a recession that are not in the E-book:

• If you have always wanted to be part of the laptop and cappucino crowd, the semi-employed who still make a great living working four hours a day or week, a recession is the time. You’ll find out if Starbucks and all those other coffee shops really are hotbeds of entrepreneurial activity.
• This is a great time to have your house renovated. Contractors are bending over backward — even for small jobs like bathroom renovations and cabinetry — as the housing slump infects the remodeling industry. That gives homeowners the upper hand in price negotiations.

Retirement Jobs for Retirees in Malaysia

In Malaysia, retirees who are interested in getting retirement jobs in either the government or private sector should register themselves with www.JobsMalaysia.gov.my an online government-run employment site.

Director Datuk Yeow Chin Kiong says the employment website for retirees works better than other employment sites because it covers employers not only in the government sector, but also in the private sector.

The retirees who are most in demand and likely to acquire a retirement job are chemists, pharmacists, science and math teachers, language teachers, technicians, nurses (preferably matrons) and social welfare caregivers."

For more information about retirement jobs see the Topic "Work at something that is not so much a job, but a fun thing to do" in the book How to Retire Happy, Wild, and Free by Ernie Zelinski.

Here are some great inspirational quotes about education to enhance your career.

Don't go to business school. — Entrepreneur Paul Hawkin to aspiring entrepreneurs

Formal education will make you a living; self-education will make you a fortune.  — Jim Rohn


Perhaps the most valuable result of all education is the ability to make yourself do the thing you have to do, when it ought to be done, whether you like it or not; it is the first lesson that ought to be learned; and however early a man's training begins, it is probably the last lesson that he learns thoroughly.  — Thomas H. Huxley
