Expectations for Retirement Changing Fewer Expect to Enjoy Financial Security

Americans' expectations for retirement have changed in recent years, with more presuming they will have to work to an older age and fewer expecting to enjoy a financially secure retirement, particularly those nearer retirement age.

San Antonio, Texas (I-Newswire) May 29, 2012 - Citing recent surveys, more than 12 million Americans ages 44-70 want to start their own small business or nonprofits to replace lost jobs and new insecurities in the economy. Thus, the recent changes in Americans' expectations about their retirement may indicate a more permanent change in their outlook rather than a temporary downtick.

Mr. Guy Graves, The Learned Entrepreneur and Founder of Live Free Marketing Group (http://livefreemarketing.com)announces new partnership with Mr. Jay Kubassek and his Mentor Group to provide answers and solutions for those delaying retirement. The Gallup Polling organization recently reported that "nonretired Americans now expect to retire at age 67, up from 63 a decade ago.

Those changes are understandable given recent shocks to the economy such as the recession, the financial crisis, the housing bust, and stock market volatility. Once the economy begins to move in a more strongly positive direction, Americans may regain some optimism about their retirement. However, the early 2000s stock market crash and late 2000s housing crash may have caused Americans to more soberly evaluate the expected gains they can get from common investments to fund retirement.

In addition to national economic problems, there remain serious questions about the long-term health of Social Security and Medicare, two programs that have helped U.S. retirees for at least five decades. Proposals to shore up Medicare and Social Security often involve increasing the age at which Americans are eligible for benefits, which could push U.S. workers' expected retirement age even higher in the future.

Mr. Graves reports that regardless of the downturn in this tough economy, there are FOUR major trends of a global transitioning converging to create a MEGA-trend that will result in indisputable wealth creation opportunity for entrepreneurs.
