Retiree jobs will be important to 72% of all baby boomers. According to a Del Webb survey, who should know something about retirement, baby boomers… 72% is the percentage of baby boomers who plan to work in retirement.
Why is it necessary to work in retirement? Over 50% of boomers have saved less than $25,000 for retirement.
Since the average American family has over $8,000 in credit card debt… There is no incentive to save at 1% interest when you pay off 18% or more of your credit card balance. Why so many are in debt is another story…it’s the reality many boomers face.
With nearly half of retirees moving when they retire, jobs for retirees are in high demand in Arizona and Florida, where the majority of retirees move. There are so many Wal-Mart receptionist jobs for everyone. Some choose real estate; there are certainly those jobs available for proven producers.
For those planning to retire abroad for a much lower cost of living… you shouldn’t plan on a traditional job. Available jobs will be given to locals first…as it should be.
For most, a part-time job will supplement their Social Security…again in popular retirement states there will be a lot of competition for these jobs.
Virtual retirement or online retirement will be sought for those who wish to work at the time and place of their choosing… doing what you want is the reason you retire in the first place.
Unless you’re that rare person who actually knows as much about computers as the average 12-year-old, you’ll need help training yourself for a productive online career. The learning curve is steep…but doable…for us baby boomers.
I found the answer to my computer and website knowledge gap after 2 months of flooding. Others are not so lucky… I hope you find out what I did from the beginning. Are you interested in how I did it?
