Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement

In this episode Dawn provides an overview and results of a recent released study, Longevity and the New Journey of Retirement.  Age Wave and Edward Jones surveyed more than 11,000 North American adults, largely pre-retirees and retirees, to explore how the journey of retirement unfolds, the patterns of people’s experience in retirement, and the keys to thriving along the way. Some highlights include: Today’s retirees appreciate their longevity and they now count the ideal length of retirement at an average of 29 years. The majority now view retirement as “a new chapter of life,” while only a quarter still think of it as the traditional “time for rest and relaxation.”  Retirees who are thriving today were well-prepared for entering this stage of life and made more focused preparation.The Work/retirement lines have blurred. There is no clear definition of when retirement starts, and 59% of retirees and pre-retirees said an ideal mix of work and leisure in retirement includes some work. Did you get your Free Copy of Dawn's book yet?Connect with me:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/midlifeinparadise/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/dawndfleming/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dawnfleming/Website: https://www.lifeinparadisepodcast.comSupport the showSupport the show
