Retiring Baby Boomers: the Lagging Edge Boomers

If you were born from 1956 to 1964, you are part of the retiring baby boomer generation that I call the “Lagging Edge Boomers”.  Since the Boomer generation is so large (it spans 19 years – from 1946 to 1964), it is nearly impossible to find common ground for each person born into that group. By splitting the boomers into two groups, I can share how the “leading edge” boomers are entering retirement in its new format – whatever that may be. The “lagging edge” boomers can take advantage of the inroads made by the leading edge group…and will continue to redefine and reshape their vision and reality about their own future retirement years.

Read how these retiring baby boomers on the lagging edge are thinking about retirement and reinventing what it will mean to be retired.

What’s Cookin’?

If your kitchen is anything like mine, it’s the place everyone gathers to talk about their day, share special moments, and ask important questions. And to see what’s cooking.

For me, there is a strong connection between preparing meals and planning retirement. Both need certain ingredients, recipes to follow, and getting the timing just right.

My motto to live by: If you can make a lasagna, you can create a plan for retirement.

Look for an invitation to join me at my kitchen table where retirement is always on the menu.

More coming soon…
