77 million boomers now reaching retirement age. Slowing down? How can we afford to? I really don’t see retirement as an option in my future. Plus folks that retire are more prone to illness. I’ll keep chunkin’.
Don’t get me wrong … I would love to retire. I would just love to retire with some money and stability. So, with that said. Seems I don’t have a choice. I mean with interest rates falling out of my retirement fund and social security … I could probably afford a van down by the river.
Score, a nonprofit group that partners with the U.S. Small Business Administration says that “25% of the nation’s self employed are baby boomers”.
As America’s 77 million baby boomers begin contemplating retirement, many are finding that slowing down is the last thing they want to do.
