Retirees are living lives their younger selves would be jealous of, according to a recent study.<br /><br />The poll of 2,000 Americans who have retired, or will retire, between 2020–2029 found that the Benjamin Button effect is in full play.<br /><br />Retirees said they’re aging backward and feeling more vivacious than ever — as more than a quarter (26%) said their younger self would love to live their current life. And most respondents (60%) plan to, or already have, done a “retirement reinvention” — stepping into a completely new version of themselves during retirement. <br /><br />Commissioned by IHG Hotels & Resorts and conducted by Talker Research, the survey explored what this “new version” looks like, and the role that travel plays in respondents making the most of their retirement years.
