They need to think about what they want, what they need to get there, how to best sell themselves and to keep their networking going. These retiring baby boomers are creating the very employee shortage they seek to fill - just in different ways. As many baby boomers follow their bliss, they do so wanting more flexible hours, the experts said. As Hand, the GIS student, put it, “One of the main reasons I am going back to college after 30 years is that I see myself wanting to work past 70 years of age. So, I guess you could say I am actively preparing for a second career, something that would give me pleasure, continued income, and flexibility.”

First-floor master bedrooms are enjoying a resurgence after falling in and out of favor over the years. The National Association of Home Builders says more than 40 percent of new homes have master suites downstairs, a 15 percent increase over a decade ago. This time - no surprise here - baby boomers with bad knees and creaky backs are being credited with increasing demand. Downstairs master bedrooms have been a fixture in American homes since the Colonial days. In the 18th century, the best “chambers,” as bedrooms were known, were not only on the first floor, they were prominently featured to convey the social status of the head of the house. Proper housing arrangements mean more than candles and rugs. The interior design is about the flooring as well as the lighting.

As the 78-million-member baby boomer generation confronts the physical challenges of aging, the baby boomers, who as a group have been long accustomed to throwing their economic and cultural weight around, are doing so more than ever. Companies are racing to “boomerize” their products and services, tailoring their marketing pitch to a generation that never believed it would get old — and still doesn’t. The baby boomers are the lifestyle leaders that adopt new technologies, and they’re looking for technology to be chic and aesthetically pleasing. The largest single generation in history is reaching its peak economic power, and businesses around the world are innovating to meet their demands.

As regular readers of this blog already know, millions of baby boomers will soon retire. The number of books that are now on bookstore shelves have increased exponentially within the past few years. While many of the books focus on the financial aspect of retiring, other books are centered on a far more ugly picture for folks who might spend a third of their years in retirement. One central concept that emerges from most all of the books is that retirement for most folks born between 1946 and 1964 will look very different from that of their parents. One of the best books, “Retire on Less Than You Think: The New York Times Guide to Planning Your Financial Future” has been recently released. The author believes that the widely reported projection that boomers will not have enough money to retire is a myth perpetrated by financial experts and the media. The book is certainly worth a review. Click on the book image to access it’s listing on Amazon.com.

“Boomers” want to keep working because they enjoy their jobs. Others need the income or want to retain health benefits.

Half of the people polled in the 2007 Retirement Confidence Survey by the Employee Benefit Research Institute in Washington said they planned to work until at least 65. In a survey by the American Association of Retired Persons, 69 percent of laborers between the age of 45 and 74 plan to work during their retirement.

Baby boomers are starting to feel the aches, pains and weight gain of aging. Because they, like others, want to feel younger for longer, food companies and food researchers are striving to meet their needs.

At the same time, they indulge themselves with pomegranate martinis, wine, and chocolate.
