Call To Action Baby Boomers: We can beat the clock if we unite!

We can beat the clock if we unite!

If you were born between 1946 and 1964, you are a baby boomer like me. There are 76 million of us in the United States today. You may already be retired, in process or planning retirement.  Regardless of your status, you are likely as shaken as I am with the current state of life in a pandemic.  This unexpected threat is hitting us boomers hard physically, emotionally and financially.

As Boomers we've already survived two other major world events that hit us hard -- the 2008 stock market downturn and 9/11 terrorist attacks. Both of these were devastating to our physical, emotional and financial security. We learned from those set backs and recovered with resilience, hard work, wit and each other.  Unlike the Millennial's, Gen X's, and future generations, we don't have much time to recover. The COVID-19 pandemic has drastically changed our financial savings, tangible resources and retirement plan. This sounds like we're in a helpless situation, but we've never looked at life's challenges that way. Baby Boomers are recognized as resourceful, determined and competitive people who believe the secret to surviving is each other. As the largest generation, we have learned to leverage other boomers who have already figured out what we are facing today. At least one of the 76 million of us has the answer already. The future looks different than we planned for our retirements but bright as we unite once again to overcome the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic.
