RETIREMENT
THE
CHANGING FACE OF RETIREMENT
By Nancy Abramson
Retirement
today is not the retirement that our Grandfathers and Grandmothers
had or our Mothers and Fathers. Today people are living longer
and often look at retirement as a time to do something they have
always wanted to do or to work less hours. They may work part
time, take a temporary position, or work as a contractor or consultant
to supplement their income. Many people retire from the profession
they worked in while supporting a family and now want to get in
touch with a more satisfying life.
According
to the AARP 2002 survey 69% of the people who are retiring will
work. 34% want to work part time in a job of their interest that
they enjoy, and 19% will work part time to supplement their income.
28% of the people will not work at all and 2% do not know.
The
AARP survey measured why people work in Retirement.
76% Work because they need the money
76% Enjoy working
68% Want to help others
66% Feel useful
65% Maintain health insurance
59% Feel they should work if they can
56% Work to pay for health care
49% Qualify for pension.
According
to the 1990 census there were about 36,000 centenarians in the
United States alone. By the 2000 census the number was estimated
to be 51,000. In addition, the number of centenarians age 110
and older was estimated to be 1,400. By 2030 the number of centenarians
is projected to be 324,000.
If
you are looking to retire at age 60 or 65, you could have 15 to
40 years in retirement. Looking at how and where you want to live,
what you want to do and how much money you will need after retirement
age is an important step to living a fulfilled retirement life.
Planning for your future before retirement will help you create
the life you desire.
