Bert ran his first hurdle at age 69. A friend, seeing him jump the tennis net, encouraged him to take up the sport. Here he is at age 90--still running!
Bert is a multiple medalist at the Veteran's Olympics and broke his own record last year.
We are witnessing the greatest social experiment of our time. In the past fifty years, the number of people 65 and older has tripled. Never before in history have so many people lived so long.
THE COMING WAVE In the next 18 years, more than 75 million people will reach retirement age.
Only a few decades ago, the average retirement lasted less than 10 years. Today, you can expect to live an average of 30 years or more while retired, and many people will not be prepared for the physical, mental, and financial challenges they will face.
This wave of retirees will stress government and social services to historic levels, which means you must take more personal responsibility for your happiness and security in a long retirement. Are you ready?
