Should you work past retirement?

Like it or not, more and more baby boomers are choosing to continue working past retirement age. Many aging workers cite the current economic downturn, rapidly increasing health insurance costs and the falling value of homes and 401(k) plans as reasons why they choose to keep working. In fact, according to the American Association of Retired People (AARP), 69 percent of employees over the age of 45 are planning to work past the age of 65.
