Reading

선생님과 함께 지문을 읽어보세요.
As a society grows grayer, people are more interested in planning their retirement. Parents used to be supported by their children, but now few people think their second life (life after retirement) should be with their children. Many think financial independence is important for a cozy retirement. They are now asking for more jobs for the elderly, and some aggressive ones are demanding that the retirement age be lifted to 65 or 70. Do you think its better to prolong the retirement age even at the expense of reduced job opportunities for the young? How have you planned your retirement? With your children or without them? What are you going to do after
you retire? Do you think it's OK to retire early if you have made a lot of money?
