Baby boomers helping out younger generation too much
2008-06-26 17:00:00
Older baby boomers were able to get out of debt very quickly in the ?70s, as they lived through an era of high inflation when property values and wages grew very quickly, doubling about every 7 years. To think that today?s average salary will double in the next 7 years sounds a little exaggerated.

We were just having fun making posters. There was no time to think about what we were doing. It was a furious time, but I think most great art is created in a furious moment. ? Stanley Mouse, artistic partner of Alton Kelley; the pair created hundreds of classic psychedelic rock posters and threw “the world’s first psychedelic dance-concerts at Longshoreman’s Hall in September 1965, essentially starting the San Francisco scene”; Mr. Kelley died this week at age 67; June 3.

False Charges in the Blogosphere That Obama Is Attacking Baby Boomers Who O
2008-05-13 02:33:00
Have you heard the one where Obama is now dissing baby boomers who were against the Vietnam War? Hopefully not, because it is not true. Just in case the Clinton supporters persist in this false claim I thought it would be useful to document what Obama actually said and how it is being distorted. Obama ...
Yeah, the rightward shift of a lot of Baby Boomers...
2008-05-09 06:04:00
Yeah, the rightward shift of a lot of Baby Boomers--shedding their youthful idealism for real pragmatism or whatever--is like, *the* defining quality of neo-liberalism, so it's not surprising some people'd go much further. The sad thing is the attempt to retain the aura of that radicalism whilst pursuing policies that are basically the opposite. Actually, now I think about it, the doublethinky qualities of Bush--we need to protect freedom, by curtailing your uh freedom--fits that too.Or I could be talking complete bollocks about your enormous and wacky country. *panda picture*
The Baby Boomers are in Trouble: and Why You Should be Worried Posted By :
2008-05-07 07:57:00
If, like me, you are one of those people born from 1946 to 1964, there's something I need to tell you. Setting financial goals helps direct financial planning. Examples of financial goals are: "To retire at age 50 with a personal net worth of $800,000 American," or "To buy a house in 3 years paying a monthly mortgage servicing cost that is no more than 25% of my gross income". It is not uncommon to have several goals, some short term, and some long term. Read more about finance.

Baby Boomers Are In For Some Rude Surprises
2008-04-17 12:55:00
NORTH WILMINGTON, Del. - April 16, 2008 (WPVI) -- New Castle County Police arrested 46-year-old Louanna Gary, of the 2200 block of Rosewood Drive, in the community of Lancashire. She is charged with intentionally abusing an infirmed adult and causing harm to an 82-year-old male, for whom she was supposed to be providing care. On February 20, 2008, emergency personnel responded to the home after Gary called 911 to report the victim needed medical attention. The victim was transported to the hospital and found to have a core body temperature of 87 degrees. He was admitted to the intensive care unit for treatment of severe dehydration, hypothermia, and numerous sores to his back, legs and groin. A joint investigation between the county and Attorney General's Office has revealed Gary has been responsible for taking care of the victim for the past two years. In addition to his poor medical condition, the unkempt condition of the home was also unhealthy.-----------------------------------...

Ignoring America?s recession
2008-03-06 17:05:00
Back in 2001 the US Fed was considering the very real risk that the US government would be able to pay off their entire national debt. The government had been running a fiscal surplus for five years and was projected to continue with this to 2010. It was this which underpinned George W Bush’s (then recently elected) $1.3 trillion tax cut. Why worry about paying off all the debt? Well, the Fed controls money supply by using dollars to buy the bonds which the US government issues to cover its debt. No debt, no bonds … and the Fed had to consider new ways of controlling money supply. At the time then Fed Governor, Alan Greenspan, would rather that additional capital went to prepare the US economy for the pressure to be placed on it through obligations in Social Security and - especially - Medicare. Squandering the Surplus As events played out, shortly after the tax cuts were made permanent (for any given value of permanent) events changed dramatically. It turned out that...

Retiring Baby Boomers Consider Home-Based Business Opportunity With CBmall
2008-02-18 20:59:00
The Baby Boomers generation is comprised of the 78 million Americans born between 1946 and 1964. Leading-edge boomers, those born between 1946 and 1955, are not heading out to pasture quite yet and our nation cannot afford to lose their wisdom and work ethic. Boomers are by far the most educated generation. Today's fifty- and sixty-year-old Boomers are not eagerly anticipating lives of disengaging retirement.Many boomers are already thinking about their next step in life and are creating new careers and business opportunities based upon their interests and talents. As companies downsize, pare away pension plans, and with a precarious future for Social Security, more and more Baby Boomers are choosing to work beyond the age of traditional retirement. Boomers aren't just dreaming up part-time gigs for some extra spending cash. Huge numbers of boomers are looking to start a real income producing home-based business.In a recent Small Business Administration report on Veteran entrepren...
Baby Boomers Health and Nutrition - Who do we Trust?
2008-02-17 02:08:00
Great demographic changes are occurring as the baby boomers reach their golden years..Since we arrived on the scene in 1946, we have been the source of significant trends in most industrialised nations. When the baby boomers were infants, companies marketing baby food and nappies grew substantially. As the baby boomers grew up, they spawned other economic trends. These include:1950s - substantial growth in toy production and building of primary schools.1960s - rise of fast food chains and the music industry (as baby boomers became teenagers)1980s - real estate booms (as more baby boomers entered the market)1990s - discount superstores (as early baby boomers reached peak spending years).Although baby boomers make one-third of the developed world's population, we control two-thirds of the wealth. The first baby boomers are reaching retirement age but we don't want to "grow old gracefully" as our parents did. We want to feel young, stay fit and be active. We want to keep a youthful a...

Community Spotlight: Baby Boomers Cash in on Eagle Mountain Reserve
2008-02-11 15:01:00
Baby Boomers will buy one out of every five new homes sold in 2008. What the 55-and-older segment is really looking for is vacant land. For instance, the Texas Hill Country is a prime location for Boomers to look for land from a 1- acre parcel in Marble Falls to a 300+ acre ranch in one of Burnet County's ranch communities. A recent boom in real estate development in Burnet County has resulted from this influx of future retirees. Baby boomer investors coming to the Texas Hill Country are picky, but seem willing to pay top dollar for a piece of land in a great location next to outstanding amenities like fishing, boating and golfing. Today's Spotlight is Eagle Mountain Reserve. Features include: An Exclusive Master-Planned Community 118-acre community located on the northeastern foothills of Lake Buchanan Spectacular Hilltop Homesites with Million Dollar Views Ideal Hill Country Living with Resort-Style Amenities WH...

Why I am for Obama: It?s more than just the man, it?s the movement
2008-02-05 19:51:00
What’s the difference between a skeptic and a cynic? A skeptic is someone who, when told something, doesn’t immediately believe it to be true and looks deeper into the issue before making their decision. A cynic is someone who, when told something, automatically assumes it to be false, and doesn’t bother looking any further, because it’s just got to be bullshit. It’s essential, especially in these times of fear and paranoia, that we maintain a healthy skepticism about what we are told. It was lack of skepticism that mired us in the endless hell of the Iraq war, after all. But I fear that genuine skepticism has been swamped by the all-consuming cynical passivity that says, “This is all bullshit, so why should I care or do anything about it? None of it matters.” But it does matter. And watching the meteoric rise of Barack Obama has reminded me of how much it can all matter, for those who’re willing to believe. As has been noted in the pr...
Leon Meekcoms Baby Boomers Shifting Housing Trends Posted By : Robert Thoms

"Dual season residency is skyrocketing, with people choosing to go north from the spring to the fall and spend other half of the year in the south," says Leon Meekcoms. That last time I used my credit card, I kicked myself. You see, I'm trying out this whole negative reinforcement thing. Anyway, the point is that we should try not to spend so much and start saving more. Maybe what's in order is a financial planning education course. Read more about finance and credit cards.
A human thinking trap (and how to avoid it)
2008-01-28 00:08:00
There is a very important man in human history whose name too few people know:  Alfred Korzybski.  He’s the father of general semantics, and before you say to yourself, “Oh, it’s only semantics,” understand that improper use of semantics can absolutely, positively, kill you.  I’ll explain why, shortly. Korzybski is not only the father of general semantics, but a god high in the pantheon of such fields as cybernetics, neuro-linguistics, consistency theory, and the like.  He deserves to be.  He was the first to examine human behavior in terms of what people can know, and how they act on that knowledge (Descartes may have provided a foundation, but Korzybski built the palace).  He said that there are really only two means of knowing:  (1) through the structure and capabilities of the nervous system, and (2) through the structure of language and how we use it.  Korzybski divided all  human experience into levels.  The first level is the event itself.  The s...

Rome on fire - Boomer bands get back together in response?
2008-01-11 00:35:00
Hello. My name is Jim Booth and I’m (at least nominally) a writer for S&R. For those of you vaguely familiar with my work and wondering where I’ve been, here’s a brief explanation of sorts. It’s been a rough couple of months. On the blogging front, the two “big” stories I spent most of 2007 writing about, the evil that is Blackwater and the Jena 6 travesty of justice, are gone from the news cycle. In the first case Blackwater coverage is now buried - by, I suspect, tacit agreement between the Bush junta and corporate media - so as to allow Erik Prince and company to slither away with minimal (if any) punishment for their crimes against humanity in the name of protecting “American interests” in Iraq. In the second case, Jena’s impetus toward equal treatment under law has dissipated (sadly) due to revelations that the principal prosecutee/cause célèbre has been something of a habitual criminal whose previous unsavory behavior ...
Age Wave Insights into the Oldest Baby Boomers

Is Obama the new JFK?
2008-01-07 20:30:00
Something big happened a few nights ago in Iowa. Barack Obama began the evening as one of the top two contenders for the Democratic nomination and by the time people went to bed he was John F. Kennedy. This might sound like hyperbole - and to be sure, the race is far from won - but if the results we saw in the Hawkeye State last Thursday are replicated in New Hampshire and beyond, then what we are seeing may be a defining shift in American politics and culture. The key factor is the emergence of the 75-100 million strong Millennial Generation as a political force. Let’s look at some of the evidence. The Young Voter PAC’s roundup provides ample data for consideration. The youth [ages 18-29] turnout rate tripled in Iowa. The youth turnout rate rose to 13% in 2008 compared to 4% in 2004 and 3% in 2000. Out of all of Barack Obama?s support in Iowa, 57% came from young voters (CNN, MSNBC, FOX). 60% of the caucus participants were first time caucus goers and of those 39% of th...
Career Changes for Baby Boomers: Ability, Not Age, Matters
2008-01-04 07:49:00
By: Kelli SmithBaby boomers. They're the generation born between 1946 and 1964. They came of age in the early 70s and early 80s. They're the generation that made changes and waves, worked harder and longer, put off marriage and children, did things differently than previous generations.Whether because of financial necessity or because they have something to offer, baby boomers are staying in the workforce longer. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics data and projections indicate that by 2010 there should be 18.5 million boomers ages 45 to 49 in the labor force, as compared to 14.7 in 1995, and 16.8 million versus 10.6 million in the 50- to 54-years-old range.They're still making changes. They're retiring later, or not at all. If not downsized or laid off, boomers often continue to work. When they don't choose to continue in the same career, it doesn't mean they're ready to stop contributing, and sometimes they're making transitions to new careers."On average there are three t...
