We are igniting a revolution to reinvent America! So says Bill Novelli, Ceo of AARP. Baby Boomers will not go quietly into retirement. In fact, retirement as it has been known will be changing for many people. There are those of us who can’t even imagine a day that isn’t purposeful in some way. That’s not to say that all boomers will continue in a working environment. Some will. Some people won’t be able to travel around the world for the next 18 to 30 years. It was not stressed nearly enough when we were first starting out that we would need as much money as we will need after the traditional 30 to 40 years of working full time. Pensions are mostly a thing of the past. Social Security just won’t do it for us. We are living longer and healthier and we just didn’t put enough money away for that many years of not working.
A new need has developed! Life Planning in the Third Age! What’s next in my life! Maybe I don’t have the money to travel all the time, maybe I do. But I want to have a purposeful existence! Help me find my passion! I work with people to figure out what “Lights their fire!” It might be volunteer work; babysitting the grandchildren; working part time in a fabric shop! And so much more. Life is exciting! I’m excited about working with other baby boomers to figure out “What’s Next”!
