Retiring to a Life of Leisure? Right! Think Again.

Or has your company changed your group health insurance coverage to now include a large deductible, or has your premium increased beyond belief?

Millions of Americans are living longer are spending their golden years making the green. Through the 70s, 80s and even 90s are remaining on the job, or least some job.

This number will increase with the baby boomers. 17 % already expect to work indefinitely though financial necessity will be a bigger reason for their passing up the Golden Pond.

It wouldn’t hurt to have your Plan B ready to go. With the fear of a severe adjustment in the entitlement programs, like reducing Medicare and retirement benefits, it drives many to re-think
retirement.
