Reinventing Retirement

This week, a four-part series with public radio's business program "Marketplace." It's called Reinventing Retirement. Special Correspondent Jo Giese traveled to Wyoming for our story. That state's quickly graying population gives us a glimpse of what's down the road for the rest of the country, as baby boomers start to retire. We'll meet Rick and Sharon Olsen. Retired and in their 60s, they'd rather work a farm in snowy rural Buffalo than lounge on a beach in Florida. And we'll hear from Governor Dave Freudenthal, who's trying to get the state's employers and policymakers to see retirees as a "new natural resource" rather than a burden.

Marketplace Confessional

"I enjoyed Stacey Vanek-Smith's piece about backyard tomato growing, but felt that it gave an unfortunate negative impression about the economics of home production. There are lots of terrific noneconomic reasons for growing one's own food. A savvy approach is needed if one wants to do it to save money, though, and this may involve NOT throwing in money like it's the height of the dot-com bubble again. . . " "
