Nearly one-quarter of Americans say they never plan to retire, according to a poll that suggests a disconnection between individuals’ retirement plans and the realities of aging in the workforce.

According to the poll from The Associated Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research, 23% of workers, including nearly 2 in 10 of those over 50, don’t expect to stop working. Roughly another quarter of Americans say they will continue working beyond their 65th birthday.

Experts say illness, injury, layoffs and caregiving responsibilities often force older workers to leave their jobs sooner than they’d like.

When asked how financially comfortable they feel about retirement, only 14% of Americans under the age of 50 and 29% over 50 say they feel extremely or very prepared, according to the poll while 56% of younger adults say they don’t feel prepared for retirement.

  1. Retire and then what? Sit and do nothing until the malach hamoves takes them? A person should work as long as he has energy and never sit idle.
