Retirement Planning For Baby Boomer's: Three Reasons to Plan Even If You Don't Want to Retire

By David Skill

Many Baby Boomers love their work and can't imagine ever giving up
their career. Others are making great money and would not retire
because they would be sacrificing too much financially. DO NOT use
either as an excuse not to plan for retirement.

Regardless of how you feel about your career, how much money you're
making or if you think you would be bored in retirement; you need to
determine how much wealth you need to retire. It is your duty to the
rest of your family to try and achieve financial independence. Here
are three reasons why:

Circumstances Change: You may love your boss, your company, make great
money and work in a hot industry. Remember, everything goes through
cycles. In a few years your industry may be in a vicious down cycle
and you may find yourself without work. Maybe it has never happened to
you, but it happens all the time. Remember the high-flying housing
market? Remember what happened in Telecommunications in 2001?

Accident or Illness: You aren't bullet-proof anymore. You could have
an accident that makes it physically impossible to continue working at
the job you love. An illness like cancer could change your job
situation overnight.

Attitudes Change: Sometimes people change their attitudes about what
they are doing. Maybe a spouse gets ill, children leave home, or you
just get tired of being on airplanes every week.

One of the basic tenets of planning for anything is being prepared to
implement plan 'B' in case plan 'A' fails. You owe it to yourself and
other family members to plan for a day you are not working any longer.
Determine how much money it takes to retire. Execute your plan to make
sure you achieve wealth and independence. Once you have it, continue
to do what you want to do. If change is forced on you, maybe you will
realize you are still capable of being bullet-proof after all...good
luck.
