What do YOU Fear the most about getting old?
Is it - arthritis? Losing your hair, wrinkles (face it it's a true fear); being alone?
Actually, most of the research suggests it is NONE of those things....
It's actually.... MONEY !!💸😱. It seems to take wings and fly faster as you age.
Is this YOUR situation? THE TOP 10 FEARS OF SENIORS:
💸😱1/ Do I have enough retirement savings?
💸😱2/ What if I lose my job before I even get to retire?
💸😱3/ What if my spouse or I get sick- how will our money, savings (if any), be enough? This seems to apply to women especially - generally, women outlive men, but may not earn as much; what happens if the bread winner dies?
💸😱4/What if I run out of money to pay bills? Rent? Mortgage?
💸😱5/ Will I ever repay my debts before I die?
💸😱6/ Do I even have enough money for my funeral (end of life planning)?
💸😱7/ What if my Identity is stolen and I lose all my savings anyway?
💸😱8/ What if the stock market crashes and inflation rises beyond my means?
💸😱9/ Have I become replaceable by computers (and therefore lose my position, title, or job entirely?)
💸😱 10/ What if I don't have enough money for basic healthy food items, vitamins, special diet if needed?
These are REAL fears ; but please don't despair!
You CAN:
💰😊✅1/ Talk to your family, trusted fiends and m]health care provider about seeking financial advice- It is NEVER too late!
💰😊✅2/ Do what YOU can in taking a good hard look at your expenses- is there ANYTHING that may be cut down or out so there is at least something you can set aside- it may not be a s bad as you think!
💰😊✅3/ CLICHE - DO the best you can, and less worry!- (It can only shorten your lifespan anyway!🤷🏽♀️
LIVE- HAVE A GOOD LIFE! YOU DESERVE IT! AT ANY AGE!💗💯
Good vibes always!💗
