"The Way We’ve Always Done It”
Last month, Laura Schroeder wrote a great post on Compensation CafĂ© on tailored rewards and the realization that one size doesn’t fit all. As Laura points out: “Various research shows that people are motivated by different things at different times, depending on a variety of personal and demographic factors.” Pop over and read Laura’s full post. She offers five solid tips for moving towards tailored rewards. It’s her last statement of the post that got me laughing, however: “I also don’t recommend tie pins.”

> Freedom 65 - What's your Retirement Age?


At what age should one retire? Do you believe in working until way into the 70s? Or does the buck stop at age 65? The French government recently passed a controversial bill, amidst a stormy session, that will raise the retirement age from 60 to 62 by 2018.
