According to Ryan Frederick, less than 4% of the housing stock in the U.S. is designed for people with mobility challenges. As we age, that must change. If you're one of the women who intends to control $30 trillion by the end of the decade and you can get excited about renovating your forever home, comment and share. (Personally, I love renovating bathrooms!) But here's the deal: That renovation, an accommodation to frailty, comes at a cost. Don't forget to build that cost into your retirement distribution planning. #WeRescueOurselves #NotYoungNotDone #MathNotMagic https://lnkd.in/eW6eS8wE

A Tale of Two Retirees In a quiet corner of a cozy cafe, two old friends sat opposite each other, reminiscing about the days of their youth and the vicissitudes of life that brought them to their golden years. Peter and Robert had both been successful in their careers—Peter as an engineer and Robert as a marketing executive—but their retirement approaches couldn’t be more different.

America Has Never Had So Many 65-Year-Olds. They’re Redefining the Milestone.   Almost 4.1 million 65-year-olds will retire this year. Yet in our new survey from The Harris Poll and Age Wave featured this weekend in The Wall Street Journal, many are thinking of retirement as anything but a winddown.   It’s a new chapter: “Being 65 is not just thinking about who you were, but what you might become in a new chapter,” says Ken Dychtwald, CEO of Age Wave, a California-based consulting firm specializing in aging-related issues in Clare Ansberry's reporting (Ansberry Clare).   Keep on working: True, far from the traditional shuffleboard stereotype, today’s new retiree is saying, “I can’t drive 65. " Data from Pew shows that close to two-thirds of 65-and-older employees are working full time, compared with nearly half in 1987.   More discretionary spending: And the medium net worth of 65-74-year-old households (adjusted for inflation) was $410,000 in 2022, up from $283,000 in 2010, according to the Federal Reserve.   Have a purpose: Another important trend is turning inward rather than chasing fading youth or beauty. In our Age Wave/Harris survey, having a purpose matters more than having youthfulness among people 50 and older.   While all the talk veers toward Gen Z, businesses need to consider Boomers in the workplace and marketplace.

I had a conversation this morning over ☕ about the short-term future of commercial real estate. This video makes an insightful observation about 🏢 Suburban Office Parks and specifically, who stands to lose the most when a wave of leases come up for renewal... • Retirement funds • Pension funds • Communities losing tax revenue And, the history of how we got so many office parks. Like many things, Generational trends & differences play a big part in this dilemma. #CRE #CommercialRealEstate #generationaldifferences

The provision of later-living housing is in urgent need of reform. Our latest research has found that almost a third of over 65s want to move to better-connected areas in the future, with almost five million baby boomers set to move back to towns and cities by 2033. At RVG, we’re calling on the government’s Older People’s Housing Taskforce, local councils and the wider industry to help prepare the sector for growth and the avalanche of demand that is charging towards us.“We need action to turbo charge delivery of health, housing and social care strategies for older people” - Will Bax Read more about what Will has to say here: https://lnkd.in/eVS9kuZh
