Large percentage of Babyboomers do not have a plan for life after retirement. 

Studies indicate that somewhere between 30%-40% and some say as much as 60+% of the baby boomers retiring do not have a plan for life after retirement. The most difficult area of retirement lifestyle planning is discussing your vision of life after retirement with your partner. Very few babyboomer couples have even thought about this life changing time of their lives. It's very important TALK TO YOUR PARTNER and above all, make a retirement plan.

Babyboomers, as you begin thinking about your life after retirement you will hear the terms like Reverse Mortgages, Refinance Mortgage Loan, Annuities, Life Settlements, Long Term Care Insurance, Debt Consolidation, Social Security Optimization, Retirement Financial Advisors, Supplemental Health Insurance, and many other financially related terms. There are numerous life after retirement financial plans and people to assist you with this kind of plan. How much information can you find for leisure time planning and retirement hobbies? Compared to Financial planning, not too much. Maybe we should forget to retire, just keep working.

When extra dollars are needed (aren't they always?) this may be necessary but for now let's just plan for retirement hobbies. You never know we may need something to fill in those leisure time hours.
