Life Stages of Tomorrow's Seniors*
Now approaching their late 40s and early 50s, today's baby boomers will encounter a number of lifestyles as they age, including the following situations:
Back-to-work. Boomers will have the option of making later-in-life career changes and working part-time or at home.
Care-giving. Adult boomers will be assisting their elderly parents with long-term care decisions and, in many instances, providing care to the older generation.
Empty nesters. Baby boomer seniors are expected to have ample free time and financial resources for recreational activities, luxury shopping and extended travel.
Single Living. Divorced or widowed seniors can adopt an independent social lifestyle later in life. Most of the boomer-generation senior singles will be women.
Retirement. More than 40 million people in the United States will be retired for two decades or longer.
