American Firms Want to Keep Older Workers a Bit Longer

I've often thought that after a certain age, instead of getting some percent increase in salary, it would be preferable instead to work some percentage fewer days or hours. Seems like the idea is finally catching on. I hope I get to enjoy it when the time comes.

I have always said that when I get to "X" income, I'd rather have more time than more money. Of course "X" changes over time, but I have definitely hit it before.

This is what consulting/contracting lets you determine, but I hear you, it'd be nice to have the option coupled with the safety and job opportunities of employment.

This makes a lot of sense. Or take some kind of consulting position, where you just advise and help the newer people grow into more senior positions.
