Get ready America, we’re on our way. Baby boomers are on the verge of retirement. There are approximately 78.2 million of us in the United States. Baby boomers are born between 1946 and 1964. We are also called boomers and boomies. We make up the lion’s share of the political, cultural, industrial and academic leadership class in America.
In year 2011, the first of America’s baby boomers will reach the age of 65….primed for their golden retirement years. However, 8 out of 10 people surveyed plan on working after retirement. Speak to a baby boomer and they’ll tell you what retirement in their golden years is going to be like. And, they’re being shocked by a wake-up call.

Are you tired of the celebrity driven circus revolving around Paris Hilton? Does the hotel heiress deserve to be behind bars for her flagrant disregard for the law? As a popular media figure, should she be responsible to set an example for the impressionable teenagers who emulate her?
The Baby Boomers or so called ‘Me Generation,’ on some level, weren’t all that different. They were often seen as egocentric and self absorbed, as having a sense of entitlement. But, along the way, they developed the capacity for self reflection. Now, entering the retirement years, they are serving the greater good and are often referred to as the ‘We Generation.’ Paris Hilton can learn a lesson or two from the changes in their attitudes and behavior:

Current trends indicate baby boomers are going to be living longer than our ancestors. And, with living longer, the baby boomers road to health becomes an important issue.
We all want all want to maintain the benefits a healthy life has to offer. Baby boomers are no different. However, as we age our immune system becomes more and more depleted of it’s ability to protect ourselves against viruses and bacteria. Preventative measures may very well be our wake-up call to maintain overall health.

Have you noticed that, in our culture, slurs about gender, class, race and sex have become fairly commonplace and are often even seen as humorous by some? Howard Stern, Ann Coulter, Jesse Jackson and Bill O’Reilly, to name a few well known pundits, have been busy playing the ‘can you top this’ game. And pop culture icon Sasha Baron Cohen, thanks to his edgy jokes in the movie Borat, won Hollywood’s coveted Golden Globe award. Nevertheless, shock jock Don Imus crossed the line when he called the women of the Rutgers basketball team “nappy headed hos.” His remark stirred up all sorts of feelings – of outrage, vulnerability, anger – not easily put to rest.

If you recently received or will receive an invitation to join AARP (or maybe not so recently), then you can consider yourself a baby boomer. The accepted definition for a baby boomer in the U.S. is anyone born between 1946 and 1964. Most marketing experts consider this generation to be the most influential and powerful generation to ever come along. We have been changing things every decade as we enter new arenas - be they political, social or financial. Now our generation is starting to approach retirement, and as usual we are redefining everything again. We expect our retirement to be much more active then that of our parents and grandparents. One of the challenges we face is making sure that we stay healthy enough to do all the active things we want to accomplish. A chief concern for our continued or renewed health is proper weight control.

Get ready world, here comes the next huge wave of business start-ups that is fully expected to exceed the impact of the dot.com phenomenon! Twenty-somethings move over. Baby Boomers here we come!
A significant and sizable portion of our population, born between 1946 and 1966, is getting ready to take a serious look at their impending retirements. What many are seeing is a less than promising future. The question of whether or not there will be enough social security funds to support this very large group of Americans continues. The idea of being able to live out their golden years under the safety net of social security is longer a sure thing. With such a gloomy outlook on their retirement years, Baby Boomers and other retirees are wisely taking a serious look at starting their own small businesses as a supplement or replacement (if need be) to social security funds.

Many of us “Baby Boomers” are each beginning to feel our age, and we’re starting to live it too. Every morning, clock radios everywhere announce the start of another day. As a typical boomer rolls out of bed, an old ache, pain, and/or little worry makes its presence known, just like the day before. The same beverage — coffee, tea, or maybe even caffeinated soda — is ingested in an attempt to energize the same tired face reflected in the morning mirror.

I am a Baby Boomer. I was a working caregiver. I am a business owner providing elder care education through workshops at the work place. I recently attended an Annual Governor’s Conference on Aging. During those three days, attendees had the opportunity to listen to our state leaders, department heads and other professionals talk about, lecture, and impart information on aging. So what did I learn? I learned that if we’re not nervous, we should be. If we truly believe our government backed support system, i.e., Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid, are prepared to handle the 76 million Baby Boomers approaching retirement age, think again.
