The Financial Crisis-Is it a demon or a blessing in disguise?
Posted 09/26/2008 - 9:59am
I’d like to know WHY the first thought most people have when they have a perceived shortage of money in retirement is to go back to a part-time or full-time job? Wouldn’t we have a better society if at this stage of life we could participate more in lifelong learning programs, and then possibly contribute more to non-profit organizations and/or entrepreneurial programs? Are there any suggestions HOW we can achieve a mindset change here whether there is a financial crisis or not? Myself, I believe that too many people emphasize Self before Service rather than the preferred order of Service before Self that could benefit the whole society.

participation and contribution
1.) NFPs should have the ability to compensate contributors with some modest compensation rules
2.) there ought to be a different "currency" used to compensate contributors for their efforts (e.g. discounted theatre tickets, etc)
3.) there ought to be wide promotion of individuals contributions in the local/national press
