b'With\\xa0Chris Farrell, Economics Editor of American Public Media\\u2019s Marketplace Money show, Author of Right On The Money: Taking Control Of Your Personal Finances
Chris Farrell is the economics editor of Marketplace Money, a nationally syndicated personal finance show produced by American Public Media. Chris is also an economics correspondent for Marketplace, the largest business program in broadcasting and the chief economics correspondent for American RadioWorks, the largest producer of long-form documentaries in public radio. He\\xa0also has\\xa0authored three books: Right on the Money: Taking Control of Your Personal Finances,\\xa0Deflation: What Happens When Prices Fall, and Unretirement: How Baby Boomers Are Changing the Way We Think about Work, Community, and the Good Life. He\\u2019s also started an "un-retirement podcast" on how to retire but still live a full life.
Chris\\u2019s take on retirement is a new one\\xa0that he calls\\xa0\\u201cunretirement\\u201d, where a better-educated, healthier workforce can continue to earn you an income well into the traditional retirement years.
In this segment, Chris talks about how to retire in a manner that maximizes your potential and your happiness. \\xa0 Some examples include\\xa0taking creative risks after 50 or adding volunteering to your "un-retirement plan". \\xa0He covers these topics on his blog and on his \\u201cun-retirement\\u201d podcast\\xa0where he shares compelling stories from retirees who like the idea of doing something with their time, talent, and resources. \\xa0They take things they are passionate about and finally get\\xa0to do them after a lifetime of working on something else, while also supplementing their retirement incomes.
He also addresses bouncing back from a layoff in your mid-50s and coming out stronger. Chris believes your network of friends and old colleagues is a key asset to going into retirement, and the extra income always helps. People in your network don\\u2019t care about your age. \\xa0They know your character and can help you get a job far more quickly than you would pushing your resume around.'
