Your Bottom Line In Retirement: Will You Focus On Growth Or Decay?

Are You Expanding Or Contracting?

Because of work and family commitments, many of us have sacrificed our health for the promised rewards of a secure future and a comfortable retirement.  To use an old sports metaphor, we Boomers are essentially in our “fourth quarter” of play. We’ve worked hard, sacrificed, raised families, and now it’s finally time for retirement. Some of that sacrifice has led to chronic diseases such as diabetes, high blood pressure, and heart disease. The health care systems we trusted all those years assured us that all of our ailments could be controlled with “proper medication.”
