Many people are frustrated by the idea of having to work longer than they would like. Our Golden Years are supposed to be about leisurely walks on the beach or 18 holes of golf, not about turning wrenches or entering data. Of course, many people are induced into working extra years for financial reasons. But there are other reasons to work, including personal fulfillment and your health.  

Anirban has more. 

Anirban Basu, Chariman Chief Executive Officer of Sage Policy Group (SPG), is one of the Mid-Atlantic region's leading economic consultants. Prior to founding SPG he was Chairman and CEO of Optimal Solutions Group, a company he co-founded and which continues to operate. Anirban has also served as Director of Applied Economics and Senior Economist for RESI, where he used his extensive knowledge of the Mid-Atlantic region to support numerous clients in their strategic decision-making processes. Clients have included the Maryland Department of Transportation, St. Paul Companies, Baltimore Symphony Orchestra Players Committee and the Martin O'Malley mayoral campaign.
