Retirement saving for late bloomers

Gwinnett Daily Post presents

Older workers may not have been so lucky in saving for retirement, and many may find themselves trying to play catch up as retirement age draws closer.

Pay down debts.

Eliminating debt is good for men and women of all ages, but especially so for those nearing retirement.

Substantial debt may delay your retirement and can greatly reduce your quality of life during retirement.

If you still have substantial debt, eliminate that debt before you start saving additional money for retirement. Once your debt slate has been wiped clean, you can then increase your retirement contributions.

Many empty nesters downsize their homes as retirement nears, and doing so can help you save a substantial amount of money. If the kids no longer live at home or if you simply have more space than you will need after retirement, downsize to a smaller, less expensive home. Monitor the real estate market before you decide to downsize so you can be sure to get the best deal on your current home.

Downsizing saves on monthly utility bills, property taxes and a host of additional expenses.

Downsizing also means less maintenance, which gives you more time to pursue your hobbies upon retiring.

Take on some additional work.

While you may have long felt you would slowly wind down in the years immediately preceding retirement, taking on some additional work outside of your current job is a great way to save more for retirement and perhaps Eliminate even lay the foundation for unnecessary a post-retirement career. expenses.

Interesting ways to enjoy travel

Research indicates that traveling is at the top of the list of interests motivating today’s men and women over the age of 50.

Seniors are perhaps the most likely demographic to indulge their love of traveling. Retirement leaves lots of time for recreation, and many choose to spend that time on the road. Travel also can improve adult longevity, says geriatricians at the University of Arkansas.

Those in the travel industry understand that men and women over 50 comprise a large percentage of their customers and

have catered many travel packages toward this influential demographic. The following is a look at some of the more popular travel opportunities for men and women over 50.

All-inclusive tours:

Singles meets:

All-inclusive packages remain a popular option for travelers of all ages.

These vacation packages charge one price for accommodations, entertainment, sightseeing, food, and many other amenities. All-inclusive vacations remove some of the headaches associated with organizing various components of travel so that a person can focus on relaxation and having fun.

Single vacationers over 50 may want to meet other men or women in their age bracket in the hopes of finding romance.

These vacations double as relationship mixers and give men and women the opportunity to mingle with others in similar situations without the pressure of traditional dating.

Travel is a way to see the world, meet new people and experience various cultures.

Seniors increasingly embrace travel because they have both the time and the means to take vacations.
