Baby Boomers Face Retirement Age Happy, Healthy, Wealthy and Not Ready to Embrace Full Retirement

June 21, 2010 - PRLog -- According to University of  Montréal demographer Jacques Légaré, baby boomers will remain among the most self-reliant generations to reach their golden years.  According to Légaré, they never wanted to depend on their progeny to look after them in their golden years.

"They are usually well educated and have great financial means," says Légaré. "They benefited from generous pensions and have contributed to retirement for decades."

In an effort to fend off boredom, keep a nimble mind and body, maintain community relationships and  remain confident in their abilities, this legion of retirees are taking control of their retirement and their destiny by becoming small business owners.

Jeff Kerr, the President and Founder of ACFN, the San Jose based ATM Franchise Business agrees that baby boomers make the perfect small business owner.  “When you have the benefit of 30 years of experience in the business world, no matter what the industry was, you possess assets that can’t be taught in any MBA classroom.  Sharp retirees who have no desire to sit back and ease into old age have a huge leg up when developing a small business. Time, Money and experience"

Business coach, mentor and author Karen Newman is a firm believer in the new trend of retirement careers. “Building a home-based business is undoubtedly one of the most viable, lucrative, and personally satisfying career options out there for baby boomers. With the Internet as your consummate leverage, becoming a successful entrepreneur beyond your wildest dreams can quite suddenly become a reality,” Newman said.

The wisdom Henry Emerson Fosdick offered when the first baby boomers were still in diapers seems to be their anthem “Don’t simply retire from something.  Have something to retire to.”  

Retiring to the “working smart, not hard” methodology of franchises these boomers are working part time running their own business via ACFN and like companies to maintain an income stream fund travel, spoil grandchildren and indulge in uniquely baby boomer activities like nights at the casino and light cosmetic surgery.

ACFN identifies and provides their franchisees with high traffic locations through the use of a state of the art technology. Once a location is identified, ACFN handles all the heavy lifting, even adding a clause to each agreement that states if profits aren’t acceptable, business can and will be taken elsewhere. A guarantee that solid is impossible with other brick and mortar franchises, but the ACFN difference offers unparalleled protection.

Anyone can purchase the tools necessary to start their own network of working ACFN ATMs. The package includes training, marketing and sales assistance, and award winning customer service that guides franchisees through the ATM servicing process one step at a time.

Even Jeff Kerr has operated his own network of ATMs for more than a decade. He comments, “My personal experience from owning and operating a network of ATMs has been very valuable. I know the many benefits that can be achieved and have done the work required to secure them. The Return on Investment (ROI) ATMs generate is the highest I have seen in my 24 years of business ownership”.

"When you add to that the transparency provided by our franchise documents ACFN offers an attractive path to join the ranks of entrepreneurs”.  

The ACFN system requires no more than a few hours a week. With over 1,250 locations across North America, and more than 150 happy franchisees, ACFN is the right opportunity at the right time.

The franchise fee for ACFN starts at $25,000.
