Early Retirement: What You Should Know

admin — Wed, 19 Aug 2009 13:55:48 +0000

For many reasons, more and more people are opting to retire at an early age. The growing trend for the retirement is based on the fact that people are enticed to retire early than continue working and wait until they reach their retirement age of 65.

In fact, most of the surveys conducted in the United States asserted that 60% of the respondents would love to retire at an early age.

In reality, there are many benefits that people can derive when they retire early. However, there are also many consequences that result from early retirement. What they do not know is that early retirement has the potential of bringing more problems than reaping in benefits and advantages.

Here is a list of some of the reasons why retiring early can be a pretty risky activity.

1. Not in accordance with the regulations of Social Security

When people will retire at an early age, there is a great possibility that they cannot immediately obtain their Social Security benefits. This is because according to the rules and regulations of Social Security, anyone who is born after 1938 will have to wait longer than their retirement age of 65 before they can get their benefits.

Hence, early retirement may only contribute to a negative upshot if the older people’s finances where not managed properly and the only thing they expect to help them are the Social Security benefits they can get.

2. If people who took early retirement get sick, they cannot acquire some Medicare benefits.

This is because the age when people can get their Medicare benefits is when they already turn 65. Hence, if they are hospitalized and they have already filed for their early retirement, they have to obtain the necessary amount of money in order to cover the expenses in the hospital without Medicare.

3. Penalty charges apply to those who retired early and had withdrawn their IRAs early.

For people who would like to retire at an early age and wish to obtain their IRAs, they have to face a hefty 10% penalty charge.

Moreover, experts contend that the nest egg of people who wish to retire early is only 80% of what they should be getting when they retire at the age of 65.

The bottom line is that early retirement is, indeed, a personal choice and preference of an individual but one must consider the factors that may affect their life in the end.

Carribean as a tropical vacation

Considered a gateway to the Caribbean and the diving capital of the world in a tropical vacation area, Belize is located south of Mexico and to the north and east of Guatemala.

Part of its attraction are the many exotic adventures one can experience here: Hike jungle trails… tube along an underground river… explore a brilliant barrier reef… find archeological ruins.

The main draw, though, is the water. Whether you’re just-starting-out snorkelers or expert SCUBA divers, there’s an amazing world to view underseas.

Belize is home to the western hemisphere’s largest barrier reef, three atolls, and seven Marine World Heritage sites. Abundant marine life and crystal-clear waters allowing exceptional visibility make paddling around Belize’s barrier reef and offshore cayes a treat for the eyes.

Inland, you can canoe, kayak, and raft on Belize’s waterways. The main one, the Belize River, originates in Guatemala and winds 175 miles east through Belize City. If whitewater rafting is a passion, schedule a trip between November and April, when the rivers run harder.

On land, there’s more than meets the eye. Belize contains numerous Maya caves, and several house artifacts thousands of years old. Others reveal astounding crystal formations. Some even have rivers running through them. Enjoy your tropical vacation.

What an amazing experience in Toronto! Even though I have now been to Canada 4 times, this time was most definately the best!!

I went to Toronto on 18th October for 1 week. John came with me. Everything with the flight went perfectly which I was EXTREMELY thankful for! As soon as we landed and got through immigration and outside onto the bus I think John fell in love with Canada (as alot of people already know I am already in love with Canada!) He’d been there not even an hour and wanted to live there! LOL

We go to the hotel and our mouths dropped, it was like a palace!! We stayed at the Delta Chelsea in downtown Toronto (see pictures or www.deltahotels.com ) . We checked in and made our way upto the 17th Floor and OMG our room was HUGE!!! We had a suite 2 double beds, a desk, a TV, a couch, coffee table, chair, walk in wardrobe and a bathroom! The view was amazing we could see skyscrapers and in the night it looked amazing!

As it was getting late that night we ordered room service, our food and bottle of wine was brought to our room on a table with a flower in the middle it was soooooo posh!!! We sat there eating and looking out the window, it was pretty romantic.
