Can you remember your parents when they were in their sixties? They were old, much older that we are in our sixties. Most of them were looking forward to getting to aged 65 so they could retire.
In those days retirement income would look after you, as long as the house mortgage was paid off. Life after retirement, seemed to be a bit boring, but they did not appear to be lacking in finances. No credit cards in those days, which was a great thing.
Today we find ourselves in different economic times.One of the consequences of the 1990's stockmarket boom and bust has been the impact on the income aspirations of the babyboomers. They are the generation born between 1946 and 1964 and looking at retiring between now and 2030.
During the 1990's boom it looked like retirement for would be around the age of 55, for some good Investors. There would be enough accumulated to support the Babyboomer in the latter years.
This further improved from 2001 to 2007 with the value of homes skyrocketing. All the babyboomers had to do was sell the large family home and invest in a smaller home and invest the rest. That investment, plus the retirement income would be more than enough to survive.
What a difference the meltdown of late 2007 onwards has made, globally. Much, if not all accumulated equity liquefied with the downturn. For many babyboomers that means either staying on at their employment or lowering retirement income aspirations, or trying to rebuild some of what's been lost.
An alternative that are parents didn't have, was the opportunity to earn income online through the Internet.
This can be a great solution as there are many great products out in cyberland, but if you are just looking into this opportunity and don't have much experience you will need some guidance or coaching. Beware, there are sharks in cyberspace.
