Life Stages of Tomorrow's Seniors Now approaching their late 40s and early 60s, today's baby boomers will encounter a number of lifestyles as they age, including the following situations:
-- Back-to-work. Boomers will have the option of making later-in-life career changes and working part-time or at home.
-- Care-giving. Adult boomers will be assisting their elderly parents with long-term care decisions and, in many instances, providing care to the older generation.
-- Empty nesters. Baby boomer seniors are expected to have ample free time and financial resources for recreational activities, luxury shopping and extended travel.
-- Single Living. Divorced or widowed seniors can adopt an independent social lifestyle later in life. Most of the boomer-generation senior singles will be women.
-- Retirement. More than 40 million people in the United States will be retired for two decades or longer.
