Fulfillment and Finances are taking center stage as the focus of Baby Boomers who are reaching “retirement age”. Ask yourself or someone who might be in this stage in life, the following questions.
· How do I want to spend the next 20 or 30 years of my life?
· What opportunities would I like to pursue?
· Do I even know what I want to do?
· What would be meaningful and fulfilling to me?
If you couldn’t answer any of these questions with clarity, you would be similar to many other baby boomers. Some people have done much thinking about this stage and others, well, not so much! This is such a life affirming time! We can be and do anything we set our intentions on.
Why is it so important to think about this stage in life with vigor? Because
50% of all people who live to 65 will live to 85
That’s a lot of life to live after retirement. This generation is healthier and better educated than previous generations which makes this stage in life one with more possibilities than ever before.
Most people don’t realize that they might have so many bonus years!
So what are people planning to do after they retire? Do they realize how that they have a good chance (well, at least 50% chance) of living twenty years or more past their retirement?
It might be time to consider an Encore Career to go along with the bonus years of health and vigor! It might be time to consider fulfillment rather than 24/7 leisure activities. It might be time to find that well-deserved balance in your life.
Individuals and couples are exploring the questions at a greater rate than ever before.
