Retirement Lifestyle and RV Living
My husband and I are coming to the point in our lives that we are facing a decision on retirement living. My husband is going to be 65 years old next year. He is waiting to retire until his 65th birthday to get as much as possible from SSI. I know, what a joke. I live in Upstate New York and a lot of the seniors here live here in the winter and then move to Florida or somewhere south in the winter. They even have a term for this type of lifestyle "Snowbirds". We are thinking of doing the same thing. We have family that we can visit in the southern states to help with the decision on where to go in the winter. Some are preparing to sell their homes and some are going to rent their home out for a few...

At home, with low interest rates and high cost of living, the prospect of trying to live on a pension, in old age, is a daunting one unless you are preapred to substantially downscale your lifestyle.

Finding The Perfect Retirement Location For You
With more and more people paying attention to their physical fitness, and with vast improvements in health care and technology, retirement is increasingly becoming a time of your life to look forward to, a time when you have fewer obligations and more opportunity to do the things you've always dreamed of doing. How you end up spending your retirement depends in large part on where you choose to retire.

Of course, there is no one perfect retirement spot for everyone. Finding the perfect retirement spot for you depends on what you want. But here are a few...
A few years ago Miranda M. lost her husband. After a short time her grandson (her only available relative) persuaded her to move across several states to be closer to him. He located a nice retirement apartment where meals, housekeeping, and transportation are provided. By using her small Social Security income, and funds left by her loving husband, Miranda was just able to afford her rent and basic living expenses. She didn't much like taking all her meals in the community dining room, so she continued to fix some of them in her own kitchen. She reluctantly accepted the help of housekeeping for the heavy cleaning. But, as she said, "I need to keep busy. If I can't make my own bed and dust around I...
The United States Census Bureau has reported that a third of the country’s population will be 50 years or older by the year 2010. Accordingly, a 2009 study conducted jointly by the National Association of Home Builders (NAHB) and the MetLife Mature Market Institute (MMI) revealed that the Baby Boomer generation alone will represent 25% of the United States population by 2010. With seniors representing such an astonishingly larger segment of the housing market, it is important to assess how recent economic conditions are impacting senior lifestyles and their housing needs. As unemployment figures have continued to increase in this recessionary economic climate, many seniors are facing layoffs or...
Imagine for a moment that you are a senior citizen, living in San Diego, wondering what will become of you if and when you hit the stage where you can no longer care for yourself.

e approaches aging differently, and for those who have achieved senior citizen status, the range of emotions can be quite overwhelming. Some seniors see their retirement years as the best of their lives; others deny that they are undergoing any major changes; and many of the elderly feel extremely insecure about their futures.

15 Great Things to Do with Your Time in Retirement
I hear so many retirees say they are bored. This sentiment also takes the form of, "I don't have enough to do to fill my time." If you are bored or you find yourself with far too much spare time, you are not alone. There are two main types of responses to boredom or lack of purposeful activity: depression or intentional effort to try new things. I always encourage people to try to come up with a combination of activities that are fun, good for you and good for others. As you know, I have a strong commitment to becoming involved in helping others. One of the reasons is that when we help others we are doing something that is good for them and good for us.

Retirement Planning and the New Retirement
Retirement as we understand in modern America is a relatively recent phenomenon. It really began back in the 1930's during the Great Depression. Prior to that period for hundreds of years, the concept of retirement was virtually unheard of. People simply worked until they died, or could work no more - they did not retire. During the Great Depression in this country, there were at times as many as 25 million people who were unemployed, and that's when America had a population approximately one half its current 300 million. As President Franklin Roosevelt, a Harvard educated patrician by birth, came up with the concept of retirement. Since most of the jobs were held by people with seniority, meaning...

Active Seniors Should Consider the Advantages...
If you or your spouse have reached the age of 55, then perhaps you may want to consider the advantages of over 55 communities, which are also known as active adult or age-restricted communities. They are age-restricted because at least one of the people occupying the premises must have already reached the age of 55. Communities for adults are being built all around major metropolitan areas because developers are realizing that the American population is beginning to age, and there is a need for these types of developments. They are not a new concept, but they are becoming more prominent and a much more viable option for couples or single, active adults whose home has become much too large and way...
Many seniors today are not ready for or have a properly funded retirement. Does this come as surprise? In fact most seniors surveyed have admitted that fact. Plus only about 21% feel they will retire in comfort. Even though between the ages of 36 and 65, about 75% do have some kind of retirement plans at their place of employment. Wouldn't think that knowing all this they would prepare better to improve this situation. But, the truth is that most will change nothing and continue to do as always. keeping their retirement contributions at the same level. Only 18% will increase their contributions while another 19% actually decrease their contributions. Some of this can be explained by the fact that...
Women in Retirement and Internet Marketing
Why should women over 50, the per-retirement years consider a small business? We have all heard the good news that seniors are living longer today than ever before. Though this is good it's also posing some problems. I think we know most of them but the two main problems are seniors outliving their money and the other is that many have not saved enough if any, for retirement. That seems incredible but is none the less true. But even for seniors who feel they are ready to retire in comfort, any catastrophe can change their situation from which they may not recover. One catastrophe often faced by women is the death of a spouse. We are living longer and most often that means the wife outliving the...
401 Condo Retirement Concept Almost everyone needs to take saving for their retirement seriously. Regardless of where you live in the world, having a savings strategy for your retirement income should be a priority throughout your working years. Most of us have seen the illustrations showing how drastic the results are if you start saving early. In fact, the earlier you start funding a retirement savings account, the less you actually need to put in each month. Typically, a worker or business owner will fund retirement savings through a plan that is coupled with some sort of tax advantage. At least this is what you are told by the people who should know better. The idea is that you can save taxes...
Lately every so-called analyst has started to talk a lot about the pending financial crisis in the retirement of the Baby Boomers. And the projections for the future look the same in all these "studies": when this generation will begin to retire in mass, around the year of 2011, the pension system (Social Security) will collapse. There are some differences in the details, of course. Some people predict that the retirement benefits themselves will empty the coffers of the social security system in your country (no matter what they call it); others tell us that the Medicaid will deplete the system and so on. There are also differences when it comes about the year when the state-run pension systems...
Expat Retirement to the Philippines - Most...
Now that you have made the choice to retire in the Philippines, the big question becomes - Where? For those of you who are being led to the Philippines primarily due to a personal relationship with a Filipina, your initial residence will be where she is located. However, once you get your feet on the ground, or if you are not tied down to a Filipina, you will want to give careful consideration as to the retirement location within the country. The 7 most common elements of such a decision are: 1. Cost of living by location 2. International airport accessibility 3. Healthcare accessibility 4. Nightlife and entertainment - gambling 5. Sports activities 6. Security 7. Urban, rural, or resort location...
It is no secret that the "Great Recession" has had a devastating impact on Baby Boomers, especially those among the leading edge of that generation coming up on retirement. Lifetime savings were impacted as the stock market crash drove down 401k's. Home equities vanished and many Boomers suddenly found themselves upside-down on their mortgages rather than having an anticipated nest egg for retirement. So where does the Boomer generation go from here? A lot depends on their age. The 78 million strong Boomer generation covers a large age span, comprised of births from1946-1964. So while the leading edge is turning sixty-five and may already be retired, the other end of the spectrum has 10-15 years of...
The 6 Stages of Retirement - Stage 1
'Retirement is often viewed as an 'event' when retirement is actually both a process (requiring planning and adjustment) and a life stage (lasting for multiple years.)' Christine A. Price, Ph.D 'It's just a stage you're going through...' - how many times have well-meaning friends and family members said that to you over the course of your lifetime? And don't expect them to stop now, because, as far as retirement is concerned, there are six identified stages that most retirees go through to varying degrees. They are: 1. Pre-Retirement (the working years) 2. The Retirement Event 3. The Honeymoon Phase 4. Disenchantment 5. Reorientation 6. Routine I'm going to take a look at each of the retirement...
Senior Home Care - Providing Dignity For...
As we age, all of us reach new stages our lives. We take on different roles. First we are children being cared for by our parents. Then we are teenagers. Learning , growing coming into our own. All of a sudden we are adults living our own lives, working, raising our own children, managing our own home life and stress. Sometimes our lives take a turn and we must reverse our roles. All of a sudden we are parents to our children as well as our parents. This can be the most overwhelming stage in your life. At this point life becomes very challenging not only for the children but also for the aging adult. Families can manage and balance their lives and still care for mom or dad by enlisting in-home care...

Affordable Living and Retirement in Nova Scotia, Canada If you're budget-minded, don't mind a bit of cold weather (or are seeking the perfect warm-weather retreat), love seafood, and have a historic mindset, then Nova Scotia is the place for you. During the late 19th-century, Nova Scotia beckoned a select group of wealthy families, who traveled by train and steamer to their grand seaside Victorian "cottages" from New York, Boston, Philadelphia and other industrial hotbeds. Little has changed in 100 years at this summer colony in the North Atlantic: The atmosphere is still somewhat staid, unhurried and family-oriented. The pristine coast is uncrowded and less developed than anywhere in North America...

One of the Best Ways to Retire Early - Live...
If you have never considered RV life to be one of the best ways to retire early... think again. A lot of people do it, they enjoy the lifestyle, and it can be a very frugal way of retirement living. We RVed for 6 years for 6 to 22 month stretches at a time. Now it is not frugal if you have to have an RV like Jeff Gordon lives in when he competes in NASCAR. You can spend over a million dollars on an RV. You can see the same scenery in a motor home or travel trailer costing $15,000 or less. Somewhere in between those 2 extremes is one of the best ways to retire early. Full time RV does entail some sacrifice however. Due to storage limitations there is no room for your riding lawnmower or snow blower...
When Can Baby Boomers Retire and Should They?
One thing that can be said about baby boomers is that most are not going to be retiring gracefully. The question of when can they and should they, is answered more by 'if' they can. The long held dream of retirement is being dashed by the realisation that pensions have either disappeared or are not enough to sustain retirement. The retirement age for most baby boomers is increasing and for some. the thought of working on in their present job is a depressing thought. Plus the fact that by retiring at a greater age, they feel that they will lose precious years of being able to do the things they have dreamed of. In some cases they feel that they should go on working as long as they physically can...
How Much Do I Need to Retire?
Statistically you're going to live a long life. If you haven't started to think about your retirement, there is no better time than now to start. For most, the average working career will last approximately 40 years. With the advent of modern medicine and technology, most can expect to live another 25-30 years or more after retirement. According to the Center for Disease Control, if you make it to 65, you can expect to reach 83. If you're married, there is a 66% chance, one of you will reach 85 and about a 40% chance you may reach 90. If you are in your 30's or 40s, I would plan expect to have a lifespan of perhaps 95 or 100. Saving for retirement may feel like an insurmountable task. For most...
Kiplinger's Retire Worry-Free - Money-Smart...
Even if today's retirees live better that those of fifty to sixty years ago, a future retiree's financial security can be planned or improved upon while he or she is still working. With the economy in its present gloom and doom mode and the companies phasing out and reducing retirement benefits, doesn't it make sense for today's workers to think and plan their own retirement far ahead of time? Although highly experienced investors may be able to do just fine for themselves, Kiplinger's Retire Worry-Free introduces the average or inexperienced investors to retirement planning and to getting the most out of their financial means. After the introduction from the editor-in-chief, chapter one of the...
Retire in Hawaii
Where can you go to find a relaxing lifestyle, a sense of community, and fresh corn on the cob in December? Two years ago, Harris Poll conducted a national survey asking active adults over 55 about their retirement plans. This survey found that if baby boomers had to live somewhere other than their home state, Hawaii was their first choice. The lifestyle, weather and culture varies from island to island and from community to community, but all of the Aloha State offers a year round steady warm climate, some of the greatest scenery in the world, and unlimited things to do. If you are considering Hawaii as a place to retire, an experienced Realtor can help you find your perfect retirement home. Yes...

6 Cheap Places To Live Or Retire In The U.S....
They say home is where the heart is, but John Milton, the 17th-century English poet, argued "Our country is wherever we are well off." The trouble is, the average individual coping with a bad economy, mortgage concerns and job insecurity is anything but well-off-or even financially stable, for that matter. And their hearts and minds are not at home but rather wandering with worry about an uncertain future. With a still-grim economic outlook, a high cost of living and a stock market that has caused 401(k)s and individual retirement accounts to lose considerable value, many Americans are delaying or reconsidering their retirement plans. Even with real estate prices still falling in parts of Florida...

Best Retirement States - Where Should You Live?
If you are looking to plan your retirement, you need to start considering the different tax benefits that would apply based on what US state you decide to live within. Making a move strictly for tax reasons might seem extreme, but it can affect your income after retirement. Where you live can have a major impact on the local taxes that you have to pay. The best states for retirees are sometimes called "No-Tax Heavens". Although paying no taxes at all is rather unlikely, tax havens are states in which your taxes will be low enough to have very little effect on your finances. The tax you will pay after you have relocated should not be your only concern, however, as the overall savings benefit will...

The Best Affordable Places to Retire in the US
In my capacity as a financial advisor I am often called upon to evaluate a client's financial condition in order to assist them in making the transition from worker to retiree. Oftentimes, the underlying reason for meeting is a fear that my clients all share...can they retire with the assets they have or expect to have? More often than not the answer is yes you can retire, just not in New Jersey. New Jersey, unfortunately, is among the most expensive places to live in the U.S. and the state income tax benefits are simply not rich enough to offset the high cost of living in New Jersey. So which states offer the best and most affordable retirement options? To answer that question I focused on four key...

What Are the Signs That Somebody Dear to You...
It can be difficult to determine when the time has come that Mom or Dad can no longer live by themselves. Americans are born and raised to be independent. It is part of our culture. This makes accepting help harder in our senior years. We want our parents to be safe and maintain, as much independence as possible but at some point for most of us help will be needed. If you see your parent, on a regular basis, the decline of aging may not be as noticeable. You are glad for what skills they are able to maintain. The facts are that over 60% of persons over eighty years of age need some level of assistance. For example, I often hear adult children complain that the parent is still driving but when it is...
Assisted Living - The Right Choice When...
Assisted living is the right choice when compared to the option of a nursing home (a.k.a. skilled nursing facility). Many people don't know that there are different options when they can no longer care for their elderly parent/grandparent; however, there are definitely options. Let's say your mother is in need of more supervision because she can't prepare her own food, can't shower herself, forgets to take her medication, etc. You probably don't have the time to be with her 24/7 and she's not willing or able to live in your home. In fact, you probably work full-time and can't stay at home with her anyway. So what are your options? ONE, you could pay someone to come and care for her such as a C.N.A...
Philippines - A Tropical Retirement Haven
Science teaches us that the Sun is the source of life for all creatures in Planet Earth. Hence, it was no surprise to me that a friend (a Japanese Senior Citizen) decided in 1979 to resettle in tropical Philippines. Given the extreme cold in Japan at certain times of the year, he believed that he would not live another 5 years - if he would not relocate. He lived another 10 years in the Philippines. In many parts of the Philippines, access to mobile Telephony & wireless Internet and to Geriatric Medical Care (in Tertiary-level Hospitals around Metro Manila) have both become readily available. Hence given its tropical climate, easy communications, and access to Medical Care, the Philippines has...
