Baby Boomers and Retirement:

Baby Boomers are THE generation born 1946 - 1964. That's me!

Boomers are us - 77 million Americans who represent one-quarter of the total population.

We've done so much to change the world as Tom Brokaw is showing the world in his documentary - BOOMERS: The Story of History's Wealthiest and Most Influential Generation, (CNBC).

We might be in denial when it comes to RETIREMENT. Who... Us? Already? Yes, Us...

Met Life has been studying Boomers for some time now. In 2007, they published "Boomers: Ready to Launch" for Boomers who were turning 62 in 2008.. the first ever Social Security eligible Boomers. In 2008, "Boomer Bookends" (love that title!) and thatstudy compares the Oldest and Youngest Boomers (both ends of the boomers). In 2009, they studied the group in the middle, between the older boomers and the younger boomers.

Met Life has released a new report called Boomers in the Middle, March 2010, and focuses on those born 1952 - 1958. Me Again!

IT will be interesting to look at how Boomers see the world and retirement... more soon!
