Many workers struggle with saving enough for retirement, and some have started redefining retirement altogether as they fear they'll run out of money early or never be able to leave the workforce. In these situations, avoiding a traditional retirement in your early 60s is probably wise. But there is an alternative approach you could try that gives you some of the benefits of retirement without compromising your financial security: #phasedretirement. Phased retirement means different things to different people. It could simply be cutting back your hours but remaining with your current employer.

A lifeguard shortage plaguing communities across the U.S. since the start of the pandemic has yet to relent. As heat rages across the U.S., access to desperately needed pools in some cities is curtailed or shut down. And from Wells, Maine, to Anchorage, Alaska, while beaches are open to the public, too few are being watched by lifeguards. People are advised to swim at their own risk. About one-third of the nation’s public pools have been affected, causing reduced hours or closures, according to American Lifeguard Association estimates.
