 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.
