As I read paper after paper examining the role of senior citizens in America I get a sense that the quality of life does not have to diminish with old age. If you watch the television any time of day you will see advertisements the seniors sitting in tubs watching the sunset and thanking science for Cialis and Viagra. These depictions generally portray a life of fun and quite glamour for the elderly upon retirement. While I look forward to sitting in a hot tub atop a hill and watch the sunset I fear that my nirvana is a long way off. Dismissing the concept of the Longevity Revolution the current financial uncertainty and the lack of a viable safety net as baby boomers use up social security funds will likely force me to work well into my golden years.
There is a chance that congress will address the potential insolvency of social security, but I will not bet my daily dose of Cialis on it. In fact I am sure I will not be able to retire when the moment is right.
