The numbers are in, and they paint a stark picture. We’ve reached what experts are calling Peak 65 – a historic moment where more Americans than ever are turning 65. But while this milestone represents a life chapter full of opportunity, many baby boomers are facing it with growing concerns about their retirement savings.

A recent study by the Alliance for Lifetime Income and the Stanford Center on Longevity shows a significant divide. About half of today’s retirees feel financially secure, while the other half worry they won’t have enough to last through retirement. In fact, roughly 52% of baby boomers between 61 and 65 have less than $250,000 in retirement savings, and over 1 in 3 have less than $100,000. For those who don’t have a pension or lifetime income source, this can be a wake-up call.

What Does This Mean for Your Retirement Plan & Retirement Savings?

If you’re in the Peak 65 generation, you’re not alone in asking, “Will I outlive my money?” It’s one of the most common (and most stressful) questions people face when planning their future. Rising healthcare costs, inflation, and the unpredictability of life can make it hard to feel confident, even if you’ve saved diligently.

That’s why many retirees are turning to Continuing Care Retirement Communities (CCRCs) like Buena Vida Estates. As Brevard County’s only true CCRC, we offer a different approach: one focused on predictability, peace of mind, and financial protection for the long haul.

Predictable Costs in an Unpredictable World

One of the biggest benefits of Buena Vida Estates is our all-inclusive pricing model. With your monthly fee, you get more than just a place to live. You get access to a full continuum of care, from independent living to assisted living to skilled nursing – all under one roof and with priority access if your needs change.

Compare that to the rising costs of homeownership, in-home care, and unpredictable healthcare expenses. Living at Buena Vida gives you the opportunity to lock in peace of mind today, knowing you’ll be cared for tomorrow – no surprise costs, no moving around as your health needs evolve.

Security Without Sacrificing Freedom

At Buena Vida Estates, we believe you shouldn’t have to sacrifice the life you love for the security you need. Our community offers spacious apartments and cottages, chef-prepared dining, wellness programs, and social activities – all while ensuring that additional care is available right here, without added stress for you or your family.

You’re Not Alone in Planning for the Future

If the Peak 65 retirement savings picture has you feeling uncertain, know that there are smart, proactive steps you can take to protect your future. Choosing a CCRC like Buena Vida Estates is one of them. We’re locally owned, not-for-profit, and designed to provide you with affordable, life-long peace of mind.
