Older Workers May Be Forced Into Early Retirement
A study conducted by the Ohio State University shows that workers are disproportionately subjected to age-related job discrimination as they approach 50 years of age and again as they approach 60. The study concluded that the ranks of middle management are filled with workers in this age range who are looked at as being more expensive, especially during lean economic times. Many of these workers are forced into an early retirement or late-life career change.
Additionally, discrimination among workers who are approaching 60 years of age is centered around employer concerns about rising pension and health-care costs for retirees. For employees who lose their jobs while in this age range, finding new employment can be difficult. Job loss or early retirement at this stage can have devastating consequences for workers who may have anticipated a period of stable earnings and the ability to set aside significant savings prior to retirement.
For employees who are looking to stabilize their retirement plans, investment in Puerto Vallarta property may provide excellent returns, as well as low cost of living, high quality of life and even a stable source of non-work income. A luxury second home in Puerto Vallarta could be used to generate income from others who want to lease the property for vacations or as a part-time residence. The income could be used to pay off the property. When the owner is ready to retire, he or she could make the Puerto Vallarta property a permanent residence or sell the property and invest the proceeds for a comfortable retirement elsewhere.
This is an excellent strategy for younger workers who are not in imminent danger of losing their jobs but who may have put off starting a retirement account, or who wish to plan for an early retirement.
In this economy, many workers have delayed retirement or changed their plans regarding early retirement. With the safe investment in a Puerto Vallarta second home, early retirement can once again be something to look forward to!
