Check out Senior Journal and MetLife Mature Market Institute Boomers Ready to Launch Survey.You might be surprised at the findings:
The first baby boomers who participated in the "turbulent 1960's" have chosen traditional lifestyles.
63% of us are as conservative or more so than we were at a younger stage.
Most of us have our 2+ kids, have earned a decent living, and have been successful caring for family, community, and ourselves.
We don't "plan" on getting old for another 12 - 21 years, especially if we're in good health.
Old age scares us--what health problems lie ahead and will we be prepared and able to pay for long-term care?
Health and financial issues aside, we look forward to retirement and not having to work.
