The U.S. population is growing older and the number of retirees is increasing. Since 2011, on average, 10,000 Baby Boomers have been turning age 65 every day and they will continue to do so through 2029. In its most recent survey of those ages 18 and older, nonprofit Transamerica Institute found that almost one in four individuals are now fully retired.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Retirement is a time in life when people transition out of the workforce with more free time to enjoy life. But, when we do so, we are leaving our paychecks behind.

Often times in life, expectations and reality diverge. The weather forecast may call for rain but then it’s sunny all day. Or your map app says it will take 45 minutes to reach your destination, but an unexpected detour takes an hour and a half. Some things turn out better, others may turn out worse, and others may simply be totally different than expected. While these disconnects happen in our daily experiences, they can also happen with major milestones in our lives, whether embarking on a career, getting married and starting a family, moving to a new location – and retiring.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

However, according to LIMRA, a leading life insurance trade association, half of American adults — representing 129 million people — say they don’t carry life insurance. Like so many financial topics, life insurance can also be confusing, resulting in consumers having misconceptions about it.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

While many people enter retirement and never look back, there is an unusual pandemic-related trend that’s now occurring, and that involves retirees returning to work in what has been coined “unretirement.” According to the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, more than 2 million Americans retired in the first 18 months of the pandemic, accounting for more than half of the people that left work at the same time. But since then, about 1.5 million retirees have gone back to work, according to an analysis of the Department of Labor data done by Indeed Hiring Lab.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It appears our world is growing older and sooner than later. To that point, the World Health Organization (WHO) projects that between 2015 and 2050, the proportion of the world's population over age 60 will nearly double from 12 percent to 22 percent. While aging is inevitable for many, it’s a frightening prospect due in large part to the pervasiveness of ageism, as well as the negative stereotypes linked to aging.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today, we're going to be talking about one of the most important topics for older adults in the United States - Medicare. It's rather surprising that only 22% of people are well-versed with Medicare, as per research conducted by nonprofit Transamerica Institute. This could be because many adults rely on employer-sponsored health insurance most of their lives, so when they retire, they may not be well-versed on Medicare.

: Air pollution can be caused by a variety of factors, many of which have dire consequences for our health.

Stress is a natural response to a trigger or a difficult situation. However, not managing stress, by taking care of ourselves, or practicing “self-care”, can lead to issues with our mental and physical health.

Experiencing a natural disaster or other emergency events can be incredibly stressful. Even after the immediate danger has passed, the impact can still be felt by those who had to endure the event. Why is this relevant now? Well, the frequency and intensity of these events are increasing each year. For instance, according to the National Centers for Environmental Information from 2017-2021, there were 17.8 weather/climate disaster events that exceeded $1 billion per year compared to 12.8 per year in 2010-2019.

New Year’s 2023 is just days away! While many of us make our New Year’s resolutions around this time, you have to wonder how many of us will actually keep them. To increase our chances of success in 2023, learning about habits when thinking of goals might just provide the necessary impetus to achieve success because let's face it…we are all creatures of habit, and habits make up our behaviors—which may be health-promoting or harmful. For instance, reaching for our gym shoes in the morning, or scrolling social media, are both examples of habits that might kick off your day.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Happy Holidays!! It’s hard to believe they’re finally here. After nearly three long years of the pandemic, many families will be reuniting, some for the first time since 2019.

And my strong hunch is that for many people, discussions about personal finances are not on the list.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Let’s face it. While the holiday season is a time for family get togethers and celebrations, it’s also a time of stress. If the holidays sometimes leave you feeling overwhelmed and out of control, you’re not alone.According to the results of the 2021 Verywell Mind Mental Health Tracker, 75% of Americans have some concerns around the holiday season—from affording holiday season expenses to managing their mental health.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The holiday season is upon us, and fortunately, as we continue to emerge from the pandemic, our gatherings and celebrations may finally be returning to normal – or at least in comparison to the previous two years. However, on the flip side, this year brings a new concern into the mix – there's always something – and that would be rising prices that could just make the return to normal holiday gift-giving, gatherings, and travel more expensive for consumers.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
