The Sad Facts of Retirement
Here are some brutal retirement facts to motivate you on your journey to create online income streams:
- 6 million Britons over the age of 50 have no pension plan;
- 60% of Australian women over 60 have zero retirement funds;
- 10% of women will retire with savings for a comfortable life;
- 1 in two people over 50 will need to work beyond 77 years of age;
- 1 in 8 workers expects they’ll never be able to retire;
- Divorced, separated, or widowed people do not expect to have a comfortable retirement;
- 1 in 3 current retirees realize they are underfunded to live well.
Most of us are living healthier and longer lives than previous generations. In general, women will live longer and maintain better health than men. The problem for women is they are more likely to be poorer later life. Taking time out for caring and parenting can reduce income, delay or reduce employment and promotions.
For men and women, establishing streams of online income can save and extend lives. Often, it is medical care, insurances, and medicines people go without. A recent U.S. study reported people over 50 needed to earn more to cover the rising cost of living and 61% of men and women say health costs are the main reason they continued to work (9).
It is no surprise, the best way to enjoy the quality of life as you age is to have cash flow. So there are two choices: earn more or spend less on your way to retirement.
Just for fun, here are some ways to spend less in retirement:
- Shop at factory outlets, only at sales and charity stores.
- Use public transport.
- Eat at home and don’t eat out.
- Choose the cheapest power provider even if it is unreliable.
- Drop the thermostat; wash in cold water.
- Only holiday every few years.
Is this how you want to live? In not, you have to find a way out.
An online income approach will help to improve your cash flow for freedom and flexibility. Let us get you started.
How good it would be to rely only on yourself and leverage the decades of experience and hard work to have an independent income. You deserve it, and you can make it a reality.
There is a favorite Savvy Experts Online quote, “Don’t wait for the light to turn on at the end of the tunnel, stride down there and turn it on yourself.” It inspires us every day.
