The Ultimate Retirement Income Security
If you're reading this article then you are probably either retired or thinking about retirement. You've lived long enough to know that income security for retirement is a challenging goal.
Between October 2007 and February 2009, the stock market lost 45% of its' value. This means that people over the age of 50 have to deal with a $5 trillion loss. There is a 200% rise in unemployment in the last 16 months for the same age group and their housing equity has diminished by 20% forcing many of them rethink their retirement strategy.
The idea of security means different things to different people. Tony Robbins (famous motivational speaker) queried an interesting thought in a video. He asked us to consider who the happier person would be four years from now, a $5 million lotto winner or a person challenged by paralysis and chronic back pain sustained in a terrible accident.
His answer he claims is backed by statistics. "The person who sustained paralysis and back pain from the accident would probably be the happier person." The rational is that many people who win lotto tend to spend their money until it's gone. They are likely to lose perspective and find themselves in a very depressing set of circumstances. They often lack the discipline to manage the money they won in lotto.
Conversely the physically challenged person usually finds help from therapy and in time progress brings a degree of happiness.
The lesson learned is one of progress. Happiness comes from progress, Tony Robbins tells us. We find happiness not in the end result, but from the process of making progress. Human nature demands challenge.
So what brings us that sense of ultimate income security for retirement? It's Attitude! Knowing you can evoke changes in your life now that you have time and money to work with to improve you situation. Having the combination of time and money now that you're retired allows you to start a home business or make personal improvements for a better lifestyle.
Significant results can add up from small adjustments over time. Replacing bad habits with good ones can improve your overall daily experience. There may be small changes in health, finances, or personal improvement that you can make which will effect a large overall improvement in your lifestyle.
Making small changes to improve your life are realistic and something you know you can do. Would it be better for you to have more money or better health?
Try to be honest with yourself. Money isn't going to bring lasting happiness if you aren't feeling well. Whether these are your Golden Years or you are preparing for them, you can make a list of things to do that will improve your financial, physical and mental health.
There's never enough money it seems, but with a positive attitude you can influence the variables in life by improving your outlook. You want to get the most leverage out of the income you do have and a good outlook with a positive attitude can influence the quality of your lifestyle during this special time of life.
