Boomers! - 9781427754691

For the over 12,000 Baby Boomers who are turning 60 every day, the promise of longevity is a double-edged sword—they hope to live well into their nineties but are terrified of outliving their savings. Many Boomers haven't saved enough money for retirement. During their working years they diverted money for retirement into funding college tuition for their children or caring for aging parents, while their employers dropped pensions and shifted the burden of retirement savings to employees.

In Boomers! Funding your Future in an Age of Uncertainty, Mark Mills and Nancy Fernandez Mills, known for their public television series “Boomers! Redefining Life After Fifty,” alleviate Boomers' fears by providing solutions for improving and maximizing their financial situations.

Using stories of real people, including themselves, the authors illustrate what to do, what not to do, and what to consider when planning for retirement. They explain a new Boomer mindset that embraces retirement as an enjoyable journey and introduce readers to other Boomers who are living meaningfully in this new stage of life.
