The
Baby Boomer Syndrome
Finding
A Suitable Replacement Income For The Mass Amounts
Of Baby Boomers Who Are Reaching Retirement Age
Without A Reasonable Level Of Retirement Income
According
to the U.S. Census Bureau, there are over 78 million
Baby Boomers that consist of a group of people born
between 1946 and 1964. That currently makes Baby Boomers
the largest generation in today's workforce, and as
they start to retire over the next decade, they will
be faced with the daunting task of maintaining their
pre-retirement lifestyle.
Compared
with what previous generations faced as they closed
in on retirement age, Baby Boomers typically have
higher income, and have accumulated more wealth to
help with their retirement. Overall, a percentage
of Baby Boomers will have a higher income in retirement
than their parents had, and they are much less likely
to live in poverty after they retire.
While
this is true for some, there are many who still enjoy
this higher income, but have not prepared well in
terms of savings for the years to come. This group
continues to live a nice lifestyle while taking advantage
of life's luxuries, but has not saved anything that
will allow them to continue this life and lifestyle
into retirement.
There
is a whole group of others who have worked hard all
their lives, but lack of job security and other circumstances
have forced them to live from paycheck to paycheck,
not having the means to retire at all.
The
evidence is clearly showing that Baby boomers will
not be able to count on what was previously considered
retirement security. Private-sector pensions and personal
savings are no longer adequate to ensure that most
Americans will have enough to live on when then retire.
In
addition, people live much longer today than they
did in the past, and as a result, they need more money
to secure their retirement years. Spending thirty
years in retirement is not out of the question anymore,
and with that longevity, retirees are faced with the
very real risk of actually outliving their retirement
assets.
How Much Income Do You Need to Retire?
Understanding
how much income one is going to need is a difficult
task, and expectations are very different today than
they were for previous generations. Financial experts
used to say that the goal was to be able to replace
somewhere between 60-80 percent of one's pre-retirement
income. The reason for that number was the assumption
that expenses would go down after retirement, but
that is not necessarily the case any more in this
day and age.
People
have a different vision of retirement today, and that
vision does not include the end of having fun while
living a productive life. Retirees want to live a
lifestyle of their dreams, do exciting things including
travel, and be able to handle the high costs of housing,
health care and long-term care as it becomes more
necessary.
In
reality, many Baby Boomers will not be able to afford
to retire, but they will not be able to continue working
productively either. They will be forced to fall below
the poverty line as they are faced with financial
insecurity combined with poorer health in their "golden"
years. According to Benjamin Stein of the National
Retirement Planning Coalition, "Tens of millions
of Americans are seriously underprepared to meet their
financial needs in retirement." As many
as 40 percent of Americans have saved almost nothing
for retirement.
So,
if you are a Baby Boomer nearing retirement, and you
don't see where your retirement income is going to
come from, then it is time to take action before it
is too late. Your future is not set in stone, because
there are steps that you can take to help change the
picture of your future. You can still save for retirement
and provide yourself with the necessary assets you
need to bulk up the size of your all-important nest
egg.
The
goal is to find a means to generate income for you
now as well as far into your retirement. Preferably,
it would be something that you can do from home, or
from anywhere, and it cannot interfere with your existing
life requirements. That may seem like quite a tall
order, but there is an opportunity that meets these
requirements, and it is the perfect way to help Baby
Boomers prepare for the retirement they dream of.
