Recession Does Not Have to Stop a Boomer Retirement
July 3rd, 2009Have your plans for an early boomer retirement been smashed by the current recession? Have you watched your 401k and other retirement funds ravaged by this economic downturn? Is it clear to you how you will still be able to retire?
Many baby boomers wonder whether they have accumulated enough money to retire comfortably. Most worry thier retirement savings will not last the 20 to 30 years they expect to live after retiring.
What can be done today to correct this? What adjustments can we make to ensure a comfortable life near our family and friends throughout retirement?
Consider this simple 3 step plan to squeeze the most out of your retirement nestegg. You may find this to be the recession beating retirement plan you were looking for. The 3 steps include:
- Make the move from the city to a smaller hometown nearby
- Move your real estate investment to rural properties with character and charm
- Participate in high-activity, low cost hobbies and pastimes
One solution to all three recommendations is to make the move to the perfect small town. According to Money Magazine, about half a million Americans in their 60s make the move to new hometowns each year. For many this is the first time that they have been able to choose a community they actually like, rather than one driven by jobs, commutes and schools. The right move will meet all three criteria and allow you to drastically reduce your cost of living without sacrificing lifestyle and comforts.
Take for example, the small town Alabama mountain property located centrally between Atlanta, Birmingham and Chattanooga in Northeast Alabama near Cedar Bluff, Alabama. This area offers some of the most breathtaking Weiss Lake property mountain views in the Southeast, at a fraction of the cost of similar property in North Georgia and North Carolina. Lower property taxes, lower cost of living and more reasonable property prices are critical in preserving limited Boomer Retirement funds. For example, property prices in The Bluffs of Weiss community still remind me of bargains that could be found 20-30 years ago at Lake Lanier, Lake Rabun, and Lake Chatuge.
The breathtaking nearby natural canyons, rivers, lakes and inexpensive golf courses nearby assure the active Boomer retiree plenty of diversity. Just in The Bluffs community alone, you have access to over 1000 acres of hiking trails, and other recreational facilities overlooking the 30,000 acre Weiss Lake with over 450 miles of shoreline.
“Location” is everything with real estate investment. Mountaintop living overlooking Weiss Lake in Northeast Alabama is a dream real estate investment that can literally change your life for the better.
