THE BOOMERS STRIKE BACK

The jig's up all you Gen Y and Gen X upstarts. Boomers are back in the headlines and they're mad as hell.

All we've heard about for the past five years is Gen Y this and Gen X that, with their apologists sniveling about the impenetrable ceiling created by the generation ahead of them. They have characterised Boomers as boring old fogeys, grimley hanging on to wealth and power, and preventing the younger generations from getting a foothold on the ladder of success.

We they were right about wealth and power, and wrong about old. And Boomers have had enough!

This web site is about Baby Boomers who are aged 45 to 63 (born 1946-1964). We have always been aware of our generation and our uniqueness in that we are a constant worry for our governments due to our numbers.
 
In a few years time the first of the Boomers will be eligible for aged pensions and then in the next couple of decades aged care and increased health problems.
 
We are living longer so governments are encouraging us to work longer, stay healthier and invest our money wisely.
 
We need to work together to make sure that we have a bonza life as we age, enjoy each others company and leave a positive image of our time on this earth.
 
Please join us in sharing those good times, innovative ideas and suggestions to make the rest of our lives a bonza one.

November Boomer Update

My thanks go to Heather for her informative and entertaining October update when I was OS chasing my family links in Ireland.

November is an exciting month as we close another year with lots happening.

Arron Davidison from Tidal Energy (mentioned in the October newsletter) informs me he has signed his first contract with another country and his turbines will be built in Australia on the Gold Coast. You are a Boomer legend mate.

To top off the positives, I had the following email from an X generational supporter. I have mentioned to you that X, Y and Z generations will have to foot the bill for the Boomers as we age (6 people pay for one retiree now but there will only be 3 paying in the coming decades as Boomers retire and the smaller numbers in the coming generations can not replace us) so it is refreshing to know that we can support each other. Boomers to keep working as long as we can to pay for our future and the young ones suggesting ways we can do that. Here is her effort called The Eboomer.

“My name is Ruby Janssen and I am doing some work with the Baby Boomers to help them to create more cash flow for their lifestyles and retirement.  I have teamed up with some very knowledgeable and inspiring people from all over the world and together we are making a huge difference to the lives of many Baby Boomers.  I came across your site and would love the opportunity to discuss what you are doing and see if there is any synergy between us as I believe we will be able to add a lot of value to your clients and members.

My site is now live so as promised, here is the link - www.theeboomer.com.  I’d love your feedback on it.

Kind regards,

Ruby Janssen”

Well done Ruby and thank you for your support. I hope others follow your lead and please support her site.
