Baby Boomers and Retirement

First of all what are baby boomers? One of the features of Boomers was that they tended to think of themselves as a special generation, very different from those that had come before them. They are the generation that was born between 1946 and 1964. In 2006 the oldest of the baby boomers turned Sixty. There are around 298 million now. Celebrities like, Cher, Donald Trump and Sylvester Stallone are all baby boomers.

Baby boomers have changed the way it use to be to grow old. Their healthier than their parents, better educated and living a lot longer. This longer life has given them a chance to reinvent themselves and accomplish anything they want to in life. Even though some of them have already retired, they continue to work. Working a part time job, an internet home business, or even helping train others in what their skill was before they went into retirement. Their life has become one of work, leisure and family.

Forbes magazine wrote that, baby boomers have identified themselves as "youth" and are not letting go. So boomers will find new careers and hobbies and volunteer. They are a big part of secular spiritualism, a growing rejection of materialism. People are embracing the notion that the American dream is measured in spiritual, not material, fulfillment.

A report also states that 60% of boomers are now interested in the internet. They are all on social media sites creating content on blogs, in videos, on pod casts, and different forums. They are not as active as the younger generation yet, but because of retirement more and more are becoming very active. Baby boomers make up at least a third of the work force. They are also among the most aggressive and creative workers out there. There will be certain industries and professions that will be hit really hard as most of them will be hitting retirement soon.

Many baby boomers are retiring early, because of the recession, and that is pushing them to find alternatives. The coming of the boomers retiring will be in the millions. With no one knowing how much longer there will be a Social Security fund, they are turning to the world wide web searching to find jobs, more friends, and other internet home businesses to keep them going strong in their retirement years.

Baby boomers are not quitters, they will find alternatives if their retirement does not provide for them what they are accustomed to. With more and more of them on the internet the percentage has increased for them to have an internet home business to replenish their retirement fund.
