Example sentences:
Travel marketers who consider online buying to be an activity limited to younger early adopters would be wise to expand their targeting to include affluent empty nesters. (iMedia Communications, Inc.)
In many instances empty nesters are no longer content to remain in the same home from marriage to retirement, and our brokers are seeing this impact in their local markets. (Realogy)
In the shorter term, and considering the current house sales market, empty-nesters may still be able to move without losing out financially by simply letting out their larger homes either privately or through a social housing provider, thereby creating an income to enable them to rent a more manageable, purpose-built, energy-efficient retirement property.

Multumesc. Nu ai cum in rom, nefiind o limba atat de productiva la compusi (oricare ar fi valorile ei compensatorii).
