What worries you the most about retirement

[admin]

It is surprising that for as much as some people have looked forward to retirement for a long time, there is a tremendous amount of anxiety about it too. There are all kinds of different concerns about our impending retirements. In the spirit of talking about it is better than just worrying about it, how about getting your concerns off your chest right here? We would love to hear from you.

In the spirit of full disclosure, your Topretirements editor will confess that he worries a lot about how he will continue to do something meaningful in his life. There are plenty of good options, but choosing the right one seems hard!

If you missed the News article we did on this subject, which reprints a number of quotes from other baby boomers about their concerns, you can find it at http://www.topretirements.com/blog/general-retirement/baby-boomers-increasingly-anxious-about-retirement.html/

I worry that we won't pick the right place to live in retirement. It's a big decision, and one I would prefer to make just once. So many choices...

Taxes are one of my big worries. We baby boomers are all getting older and our incomes are going to be reduced. The generations behind us arent as big, but they are going to have pay our social security and a lot of the share we won't be able to pay anymore. Will they earn enough to keep everthing afloat?
