| Full Reviews: Page 63 of 88 Baby Boomers' View of Retirement People view retirement in a number of ways. For some, it is time to sit back and enjoy a life of leisure. For others, it is time to start another career. Here is what baby boomers think. Baby boomers have led such active and eventful lives that they feel retirement is quite absurd. Yet retirement has become a reality, more so now that the baby boomers are in their fifties and sixties. Now it is time to seriously think about retirement and its significance for us. Traditionally, people consider retirement with relief and joy. Most people look forward to living the rest of their lives comfortably and peacefully. The vision of sleeping late, participating in sports such as golf or fishing, taking up hobbies that they had put off for a long time, and living a leisurely life is alluring indeed. Retirement can also bring a lot of fear and anxiety. If a baby boomer is drawing close to the age of retirement and has not yet done anything to prepare himself or herself financially for retirement or has still not reached his or her career goals, retiring is not a pleasant idea. |
