100th Birthday Celebration
Reaching the age of 100 will be a reason for many seniors to celebrate. With increased health care and advanced technology, many seniors who are now in their 50s will have a long life to look forward to. However, there are some concerning issues that need attention, especially in the area of senior finances. The following list contains some information on aging and financial resources.
1. With extended life expectancies, many seniors are working well past the age of retirement in hopes of being able to save up money to enjoy later in life, especially if they reach the age of 100.
2. While some seniors have the desire to work, it can be difficult. Not many companies will hire older adults. Some companies will not allow employees to work past the age of 65. This has raised some serious discrimination issues.
3. For people who are in their 50s, it may be very difficult to save enough money by the time they reach the age of retirement to ensure income that will last until they are 100 years old.
4. Reaching 100 should be a cause for celebration, and for many people it will be. However, there will still be many financial concerns for the future.
