Yeah, I know, you don’t feel old, you don’t act old and after 12 hours a day all week, you certainly aren’t retired. But, according to AARP and others you’re a senior at 50 or 55! Get used to it and take advantage of the vast amount of information and experience available to help you along the longevity highway.
Just like painting a a house, a quality retirement is ALL in the preparation. You will see senior’s posts from time to time. Frequently they will not be about buying and selling real estate. I will discuss preparation for the future. Estate, vesting and taxation issues.
Seniors are different because as we move further along in life we tend to earn less money and depend on incme from our assets. Also, there is less time to make up for a mistake or false move. This applies to choosing a retirement home, a vacation home and investments.
I will have more posts about these important issues that either are facing you now or later. Our parents and grandparents are certainly facing these issues and maybe your understanding and insight migt be a big help. After so many years of being “in charge,” seniors may not be as quick to ask for guidance.
If you want the information all at once, contact me at cmeyer@chaseinternational.com and I’ll send an entire article on the subject.
