Susan Webb stands in the living room of her West Liberty, Iowa, home, Wednesday, Nov. 9, 2011. An Associated Press-LifeGoesStrong.com poll finds a baby boom generation planning to work into retirement years _ with 73 percent planning to work past retirement, up from 67 percent this spring. Webb, 63, one of the 77 million boomers born between 1946 and 1964, had long hoped to retire at 65 from her job as a real estate broker. Not anymore, not since the economic downturn that led to depressed housing prices, wild stock market swings and an unemployment rate hovering at or above 9 percent for all but two months since May 2009.
