Retirement Is Dead

Wage stagnation, inflation and sheer bad luck have left Gen Xers toiling into old age. Will we ever get to call it quits?

Not long ago, while shopping for running shoes at MEC, I asked for help getting sized. As an employee strode up to assist me, I realized I knew him: Steve, a talented writer around my age whose work I’d read for years. I asked how he was doing. His answer: “I’m selling shoes.”
