Have a Great 2010!

Boomers across the country are looking for a great 2010! The economy is recovering, businesses see better things ahead, retirement funds are improving and health care is changing for the better...we think. Each year that passes moves many Boomers toward life-changing decisions. This generation, 78 million strong, are ready for the future years. When we are 60 we think we are 40. What an optimistic feeling!

More on capitalism,,,

We can continue to talk about capitalism...which is the American Dream. The unethical and greedy at times tarnish this image. These wise words make sense " The answer is lawful regulation against harmful predatory practices without government control. There should be no law against making money but doing it in a predatory manner amounts to theft" (i.e., Maddoff or Credit card interest). Read this interesting article.

Capitalism is good....

Capitalism is good and is a major component of "building your dream" in America. However, some "capitalists" have ruined it for everybody through their greed and lack of ethics.(Wall Street take note!) Too many so-called conservatives have cried "we will police ourselves! No regulations are needed!" And then they promptly took advantage of the situation and behaved greedily and unethicly.(Is this the Christian way?...not hardly!) Now those who do believe in "regulation" must clean up the mess. And the capitalist conservatives still scream "no regualtion!" Bad apple capitalists...and I venture to say...non-practicing Christians, have ruined the concept of "proper" capitalism. Why didn't the ethical capitalists police the capitalism ranks? A lesson is learned here....don't tolerate the greedy and unethical! They have given capitalism a very bad name! Boomers, as a leading generation, we must help "right the boat!"

Boomers are Terrific!

Boomers are Terrific! As our Blog gains some steam, we want to introduce it as the new blog to promote the BabyBoomer generation. Boomerrific does stand for Boomers are Terrific! Your comments are most welcome to enhance positive attributes of this exciting generation.

Cashing in on the Boomers

So much is written and even advertised about the Baby Boomers getting older and needing more medical care, physical assistance, and medications. Retirement homes, assisted living homes, and "rest homes" are sprouting up everywhere in anticipation of Boomers becoming elderly. There is alot of life and energy left in this famous generation. An interesting blog talks about other items and events that might be considered essential(or even non-essential, but fun) for Boomers that can result in promising businesses for those seeking to cash in on Boomers. Interesting....and do you have additional ideas?

Retirement....then what?

Boomers are seeking to find the best time and place to "retire". Not so fast! An article I was reading earlier today advised boomers to do more than just retire. Just "resting" and lathering sun tan lotion upon the body can have psychological consequences. Depression can set in and your sunset years can be shortened. Find something worthwhile to do.....volunteer, start a business, work part time, hobbies,etc. Live longer!

Boomers and health insurance

The Boomer generation has to be watching the progress of the health care (insurance) revisions going through Congress at this time. Boomers are a generation in transition and health insurance is a major factor considered when making life-changing decisions. Retirement? Starting a new business? Staying with the present job? Working part-time? Self-paid insurance premiums certainly restrict contributions to retirement funds. Boomers, hang in there and let your thoughts be known!
