I can’t believe that another year has passed so quickly and last year’s first wave of America’s 78 million Baby Boomers (born 1946 through 1964) are turning SIXTY-ONE this year! And, the next huge wave is right behind turning 60! It’s a big deal because these numbers are unprecedented in our history.
See, the year before the BIG BOOM started (1945) only 2.8 million Americans were born. Well, apparently, a bit too much partying after WWII resulted in 3.4 million bouncing babies in 1946. No one thought the trend would continue very long, but with the prosperity of the times it did--

Yep, the flower power generation that vowed to stay young forever naturally is having face-lifts, lipo, Botox, and tummy-tucks in record numbers. They are also having retirement anxiety as they struggle to keep up with and care for the children they decided to have late in life so they wouldn’t disrupt their careers. And, on top of all that, now their elderly parents are getting sick and needing care, but because of modern medicine are living longer than ever.
