Baby Boomer Retirement Baby Boomers are becoming aware that they are experiencing a different type of retirement than the previous generation. The Best Years of Their Lives Retirement is increasingly regarded as a transition to another work life--a work life that is more in tune with who you are and what you enjoy doing. Before retirement is the time to dream about what you would love doing and invest in that dream by being specific as to what, where and how to make your dream a reality.

Those proportions are likely to go higher with 8 out of 10 baby boomer saying they plan to work in retirement according to an AARP study. A survey by Allstate Financial of Northbrook, IL of 1,004 Baby Boomers, born between 1946 and 1961, found 82 percent believe that retirement will be more fun and rewarding than their parent's retirement. Others believe it will be more active (65%) and the best years of their lives (63%).

Most Baby Boomers (the cohort of Americans born between 1946 and 1964) believe that they will still be working during their retirement years. Eight in ten say they plan to work at least part-time--and others envision starting their own business or working full-time at a new job or career--according to an AARP Segmentation Analysis: Baby Boomers Envision Their Retirement.

These “wealth disparities” will determine the life style options for many aging boomers and will limit the choices of millions of Americans (especially women and minorities) in quality of health care, housing and numerous other areas.

That is what it is like to have the good fortune of connecting with John Agno. He is a living tuning fork and you're that string instrument.
