A) time of personal fulfillment
B) period of physical decline
C) extended vacation

Answer 1

Answer: The correct answer is A) Time of personal fulfillment.

Explanation:

Baby-boomers had the tendency to engage in jobs and careers that not always matched their true passions and interests, but engaged in them diligently and conscientiously to save for a better future. Therefore they see retirement as a moment of true self-realization and a time where thanks to their savings they will have the resources to enjoy life without the stresses and anxieties that surround modern-day work-life.

In conclusion, Baby boomers have the tendency of looking at retirement as a time of self-realization and high life satisfaction and therefore as a time of personal fulfillment.
