The hottest retirement trends

Retirement in 2022 looks a lot different than it used to!

Many new retirees are spending their golden years on…cruise ships!

Retirees are turning cruise ships into retirement home by stringing together back-to-back voyages…and long ones, too,  like the elaborate “world cruises” or “grand cruises,” which can last well over 100 days.

Cruises can offer older Americans an easy, all-inclusive living environment with organized events, a community of like-minded travelers and on-site medical care.

Plus if you hop from cruise to cruise, you can rack up discounts that can get the prices below $100 a day!

There’s another new retirement trend…UN-retiring!

Some are going back because prices have gone sky high, others are less concerned about COVID-19 than they used to be and the thriving job market can offer them their pick of jobs, working hours, better pay and lots of other perks.

Maybe we should rethink this work thing! 🤔
