Brodie Johnson, previously Head of Residual Trading at Merrill
Lynch and Bank of America, is a semi-retired investment banking and bond
trading professional. He’s passionate about finance and has been since he graduated
college, and he has never stopped learning more about his field. In
semi-retirement, Mr. Johnson works as a consultant in his field while pursuing
his own business interests, and he wouldn’t have it any other way.
Semi-retired professionals like Brodie Johnson are becoming
increasingly common in today’s society. Semi-retirement provides supplemental
income to those whose nest eggs are quite big enough, and it offers mental
stimulation to those who enjoy being busy. A survey
by Merrill Lynch and Age Wave found that three of four workers over age
fifty said that their retirement would ideally include
working. In the same
survey, 80% of retired respondents worked part-time only because they wanted to
and only 20% worked part-time out of necessity.
For many people,
semi-retirement is the first time that it seems feasible to start up a business
they’ve always wanted to try. In any case, semi-retired professionals will
likely only become more common in coming years.
