Retirement Planning

A child born in 1900 had an average life expectancy of 47 years. For a child born in 2006, that life expectancy increased to 78 years. For most of the 20th century, retirement planning revolved around the idea that a person would work full time until a certain age, after which they would stop working and spend a relatively few quiet years until they passed away.

Today, that situation has changed. Life spans have increased, and those few years that a person might have spent in retirement have now expanded--often dramatically. The traditional view of retirement is no longer accurate. Some people choose to retire early, others choose to continue working well into their post-traditional-retirement years. Also, retirement is now frequently defined by an active lifestyle including travel, sports and hobbies.
