This is a difficult conundrum for many families every day and although there is no clear answer, families need to consider the consequences of not taking some kind of action.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[In Canada there are approximately 10 million baby boomers (born between 1946 and 1965) and they begin turning 65 this year. One of the biggest upcoming decisions that boomers will face, and one that will impact the economy and housing market, will be whether they downsize the family home along with retirement. Financial experts are saying that we can expect today's high house prices to start falling as an over abundance of homes appears on the market.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Kids of today are connected to their world via technology, they are introduced to it before they reach school and it's second nature in their lives. The baby-boomer generation have for the most part, kept up with technology. They use computers in the workplace and whether they get connected at home depends on factors like how much they enjoy using the computer at work and whether they believe it will be a benefit to them in their social time. But what about our parents, the seniors of today, the generation that didn't have computers when they were children and haven't been comfortable learning how one could enhance their life?]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Many baby boomers will remember the fun movie Back To The Future and the fascination with its premise - what would happen if you went back and accidentally did something that changed the future as you knew it. An interesting take on the concept though is how living in the future measures up to personal perceptions of it from the past. In other words, is the world you live in today anything at all like the world you envisioned when you were twenty?]]></description>

Sometimes it happens when you are watching a movie made in the sixties or seventies and you realize how young everybody looks. Even if we don't really feel all that old in other aspects of our life, for some reason seeing the stars of stage and screen - people who we always admired for their photogenic appearance and on screen coolness - living through their own aging process makes ours feel a little more noticeable.]]></description>

Pensions are not what we thought they would be, savings not performing as we expected, property values nose diving. But despite the doom and gloom we still have a great many choices we can make. It just means we may have to "think outside of the box" and re-model the retirement plan to survive the "retirement challenge".

I especially like the stories that show success can still be achieved in the economic climate that we live in today. The story I am going to share is about a baby boomer, a divorcee with three boys. She started as a real estate agent and has formed a bakery company that she plans to take international. The lady's name is Cordia Harrington.

<description><![CDATA[I am sitting at a large old oak dining table at a cottage on Lake Huron in Michigan as I write. My eyes glance around this room where I spent so many of my days and where so many faces of my youth played. My heart expands with memories and events of long-gone summer years that dance across my mind. In my soul I hear the quiet and soft words, "I just didn't know." So here I sit forty years out from these days that defined me, and I realize now that I just didn't know. I did not know that I laughed and lived and loved and grew up in halcyon days that are forever gone. I just didn't know that I had the childhood of a lifetime-mine.]]></description>

Some of these changes are good - some aren't so good. The removal of steel monkey bars on cement playgrounds is a good change.

<description><![CDATA[Respite care takes top billing among the many challenges facing family caregivers. Most caregivers take on the responsibility of caregiving without considering the need of respite care as an ongoing necessity. While some can afford to pay out of pocket for help, many can't. Low income caregivers often qualify for assistance from subsidized programs if they're available, however, that still leaves many caregivers without the financial means to pay for the respite care they need.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[For my money, the television shows that reigned supreme when we Boomers were kids were a lot better than the stuff they show today. In the days when reality TV wasn't even a concept - we watched TV to relax, not to get stressed about who's going to win what - the sitcoms of the day were classics. I also think it's funny that instead of coming up with new concepts and storylines, so many movie producers instead turn to what worked back then. Things have obviously changed in the past few years and continue to do so. The problem is that they are not changing back to the way they were...]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[If you're a Baby Boomer, eating at fast food joints is-or at least should be-one of your last options. Of course some of our generation, having grown up on one form or another of fast food, have developed a taste for it.

<description><![CDATA[When we were growing up, women over 50 just weren't thought of as beautiful. Sure, you'd have the occasional Elizabeth Taylor, whom people admired well into their 30s-but then, even Liz Taylor's heyday came when she was in her teens and 20s. Fortunately, ours is a generation that has already changed the way people look at youth. Now we're doing the same thing for aging!]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[After a phenomenal equity increase in real estate, securities, and retirement programs that Baby Boomers have witnessed since the 1970's, the bubble has burst. The reality of it is hard to live with. Federal, state and local governments are now dealing with a recession that is preventing revenues from covering budget needs. The federal government chooses to print more money for itself. This is not possible for state and local governments. Governors and mayors are now forced into slashing expenses to stay out of further debt. Predictably, various groups are now screaming from the rooftops.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Baby Boomer earnings continue to decline, according to the 2009 U.S. Census Bureau assessment of income. Two of the top concerns of Baby Boomers (especially those considering retirement) are: having enough funds to last through retirement; and maintaining their lifestyle in retirement. Layoffs are also a concern for baby Boomers as companies and governmental agencies continue to lay off workers albeit at a slightly slower pace than in years past. One way, for some Baby Boomers, to address these concerns is to continue to work at their present job. Income for those retiring will most likely come from multiple sources.]]></description>
