Retirement readiness in the U.S. is generally poor, but there are signs of improvement, according to a study by Morningstar.
Best Smart Living Posts's insight:
My husband an I had the opportunity to attend a movie “The Psychology of Retirement” and it’s true, so many of us are not prepared for the years of life after we retire. I have asked Kevin McEnerney, who provided us the invite to the movie, to be my guest on the Boomer Bytes Podcast. What I am learning is, we truly need to be “tax savvy” in order to hold on to our money. Stay tuned for when this episode airs.

As more older adults elect to age in place, those doing so alone face unique challenges that include isolation.
Best Smart Living Posts's insight:
Families have changed dramatically over the last 100 years. In the past, families relied on each other and everyone had roles to work together to survive. Now, families are more independent as technology allows people to stay connected from a distance. My mom is 90 and lives on her own, but she’s only 10 minutes away from me and my husband. We do family dinner nearly every Sunday and play cards with my mom. My eldest son who lives 45 minutes away, joins us when he can. Jobs are typically the reason that family members move away. My youngest son did his post doc in Colorado and then found an excellent job afterwards. My mom had friends that retired to Florida who felt it became too difficult to live alone and moved to be nearby family or with family. I believe providing affordable transportation to social activities and events would help Seniors tremendously. My mom plays cards with a group in her neighborhood and another at her church. I wonder how many elderly people would enjoy going to church, but are not secure with driving anymore.

In a big industry shift, new rules will change how agents get paid.
Best Smart Living Posts's insight:
Episode 5 of the Boomer Bytes Podcast addresses how the new real estate regulations impacts Baby Boomers. Look for it in October.
Honestly, the NAR Nightmare is just beginning. Buying and selling real estate the traditional way comes with numerous authorizations, lots of rules and unhappy buyers, who get the brunt of documents they are now required to sign.
Fortunately for me, I quit the NAR/Board of Realtors. I am the broker/owner for Sunflowers Realty, an independent real estate company that offers a unique For Sale By Owner plan. As The FSBO Advisor, I essentially provide the same service I did when I was a "Realtor" listing property for sale.
Florida Homes sell quick, when you pick, The FSBO Advisor. Enjoy closing success with no stress, plus stash 30-40% cash.

Many empty-nesters are staying put rather than downsizing, keeping housing inventory tight in a market where higher interest rates and steep prices are making homeownership less affordable for the average family.
Best Smart Living Posts's insight:
This shaky economy makes Baby Boomers fearful of selling. They want financial security and are fearful of high interest rates, sky high insurance and escalating HOA fees.
My prediction, the housing market will continue to do a down turn and become a true buyers market. Real estate is ever changing and no market lasts forever!
People ask me, "Agi, is this a good time to buy, is it a good time to sell?" My answer, "if you see an opportunity, it's the BEST time to buy or sell!"
