Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Coming Baby Boomer Crisis and How to Protect Yourself! Many quality books address exclusively long-term care insurance. This book is not one of them. Although creative long-term care insurance options are covered, the content focuses on how to protect retirees from their two main concerns which are running out of money and the high cost of healthcare. There is a 70% chance we will need long-term care sometime in our life which is the number one reason people go broke in retirement. The Coming Baby Boomer Crisis helps put you in control by sharing the secrets few people know, such as: How to protect yourself against running out of money when faced with the high cost of healthcare even if you don’t own traditional long-term care insurance. When there is Still Time to Plan Ahead When there is still time, it is essential to have a long-term care pre-planning line of attack which is critical as we age. This book will provide you with creative financial strategies you can use to protect your life savings and stay financially independent. When Your Family is in a Long-Term Care Crisis The good news is, as of now, you can protect your assets even if you or a loved one is currently in a care facility and does not have long-term care insurance. There is much misinformation out there, for example, a person has to spend down to $2,000 before they will receive help from the state and the federal government. NOT TRUE. The Coming Baby Boomer Crisis and How to Protect Yourself will reveal ways you can receive benefits and still keep all or much of your savings while maintaining your dignity and financial independence.

Download or read book Falling Short written by Charles D. Ellis and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2014-12-01 with total page 169 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States faces a serious retirement challenge. Many of today's workers will lack the resources to retire at traditional ages and maintain their standard of living in retirement. Solving the problem is a major challenge in today's environment in which risk and responsibility have shifted from government and employers to individuals. For this reason, Charles D. Ellis, Alicia H. Munnell, and Andrew D. Eschtruth have written this concise guide for anyone concerned about their own - and the nation's - retirement security. Falling Short is grounded in sound research yet written in a highly accessible style. The authors provide a vivid picture of the retirement crisis in America. They offer the necessary context for understanding the nature and size of the retirement income shortfall, which is caused by both increasing income needs-due to longer lifespans and rising health costs-and decreasing support from Social Security and employer-sponsored pension plans. The solutions are to work longer and save more by building on the existing retirement system. To work longer, individuals should plan to stay in the labor force until age 70 if possible. To save more, policymakers should shore up Social Security's long-term finances; make all 401(k) plans fully automatic, with workers allowed to opt out; and ensure that everyone has access to a retirement savings plan. Individuals should also recognize that their house is a source of saving, which they can tap in retirement through downsizing or a reverse mortgage.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This thought-provoking book looks at the potentially devastating effects of Baby Boomer retirements, predicts how our country will change, and provides actionable advice to help businesses weather the storm. The Boomer Retirement Time Bomb: How Companies Can Avoid the Fallout from the Coming Skills Shortage is a book for business leaders who want to stay ahead of the curve. A must-read for the 21st-century organization, it lays out challenges posed by a changing workforce and explains why we need to rethink assumptions about work and the workplace. More significantly, it provides practical, real-world strategies, best practices, and tactics for maximizing the opportunities that will accompany the coming demographic shift. Asserting that employers who play their cards right can reap tremendous rewards by tapping into the wisdom, maturity, and judgment of older workers, the book covers such topics as recruiting and (re)training these valuable employees. It looks at increased workplace flexibility and other means of helping retain older workers, and it explores how organizations can treat older workers as assets. Finally, it provides suggestions for developing a workplace that welcomes and accommodates the needs of an intergenerational workforce, providing work-life balance for every employee.
Book Synopsis Will America Grow Up Before it Grows Old? by : Peter G. Peterson
Download or read book Will America Grow Up Before it Grows Old? written by Peter G. Peterson and published by Random House (NY). This book was released on 1996 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The facts are plain: Social Security is headed for massive, unsustainable deficits in the next century. Politicians talk of a Social security "trust fund" but there are no hard assets in it--only government bonds. The reality is that Social Security is really a "pay as you go" system, with benefits to current retirees paid not out any saved trust funds but out of taxes on the payroll of today; s workforce. But what will happen when these employees retire; when, in less than fifteen years, the 76 million members of the baby boom generation -- the largest in our history -- stop paying in and start taking money out? And what can we as individuals and as citizens do now to prevent these catastrophic deficits. The crises towards which we are careening (by 2025, 1 American in 5 will be 65 or older and it will take an already overloaded 1.6 working Americans to support each retired person) will not only be felt personally by the many millions stranded with no savings and without benefits, but will shiver the country's economy as a whole as well as the world financial system. With courage, clarity and incontrovertible evidence, Peterson spells out this huge -- if politically unmentionable -- problem more clearly than ever before and tells us what we must do now for our personal survival and that of our children. According to recent polls, more young Americans believe in UFOs than think they will ever receive a Social Security check. Yet most Baby Boomers, as they approach retirement age, believe they will continue to live their present lifestyle in retirement -- without a fraction of the personal savings or pensions necessary to pay for the future they expect. This agingpopulation -- double today's load -- will depend on as few as 1.6 working Americans to support each retired person. Who will support this nation of Floridas? In this short, powerful book, Peter G. Peterson, one of American's top investment bankers and a leading critic of our entitlement policy, spells out in the clearest possible language, with unmistakable numbers and easy-to-read charts, the disaster that lies ahead if we continue to ignore our low saving rate, our ballooning federal deficits, and our enormous unfunded and unsustainable commitments to retirees. Peterson reveals what politicians are afraid to admit: trillions of dollars of promised benefits for which no funds have been provided. Shattering the myths surrounding this subject with hard facts and eye-opening views of the future, Peterson gives the most comprehensive and candid plan for a gradual, humane, fair, and realistic answer to the greatest challenge of the next century: transforming our political, economic, cultural, and social assumptions to adapt to the realities of the graying of America.
Book Synopsis Temporal Market Subordination of Near Term Baby Boomer Retirees by : Mark Combs
Download or read book Temporal Market Subordination of Near Term Baby Boomer Retirees written by Mark Combs and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The United States is facing a socioeconomic crisis as the Baby Boomer generation reaches retirement age without adequate savings. This problem is not unique to the U.S., as many other large countries in the developed world, particularly in Western Europe, have recognized future budgetary constraints they will face created by an elderly population that will rise dramatically from 2010 to 2030 (Rechel et al., 2013).In terms of retirement preparedness research and U.S. savings policy, the Baby Boomer generation is interesting for three reasons. One, Baby Boomers are members of a large demographic cohort represented by approximately 78 million people born in the United States between 1946 through 1964 (approximately 25 percent of the U.S. population). Two, a large percentage of the cohort can be identified by the type of retirement plan they have: defined benefit, defined contribution, or no plan at all. And finally, because Baby Boomer retirement outcomes became increasingly subordinate to the performance of financial markets throughout their lifecycle, the efficacy of their retirement in terms of satisfaction and solvency provides policy makers evidence of the deleterious effects of financialization.The concept of financialization is based on evidence that during the latter half of the 20th century financial markets and financial institutions became increasingly integral to the overall economy as the United States transitioned away from manufacturing and other types of industrial production. One of the primary examples of financialization was a change in the type of retirement plan offered by corporations to their employees. Defined benefit pension plans were common when first wave Baby Boomers entered the work force in the early 1970s - a retirement benefit managed by a corporate employer that guarantees a fixed monthly payment in retirement for the balance of the employee's life. However, when late stage Boomers entered the work force in the early 1990s, defined benefit plans were being replaced by defined contribution pension plans, the success of which was dependent on stock market performance, and characterized by a transfer of responsibility for plan management and solvency to the individual - thereby removing pension liabilities from corporate balance sheets. Defined contribution plans were promoted as superior alternatives to defined benefit plans, supported by the fact that as Boomers aged, stocks, bonds, real estate, and other risk-based assets appreciated at historic levels. The growth in these types of assets engendered a growing variety of financial products that were designed to ensure an adequately funded retirement experience.However, as the first wave of Boomers reached retirement age in 2011, 75 percent had less than $30,000 and were faced with the prospect of an underfunded retirement. The aggregate state of Baby Boomer retirement preparedness helps to illustrate a clear incongruence when one considers the appreciation of various asset types throughout their lifecycle, the growth of wealth building products available to Boomers, and the aggregate level of wealth they achieved as a cohort. It was also clear as Boomers reached retirement age in 2011 that the odds of experiencing a satisfactory retirement outcome had become increasingly subordinate in a temporal context to the appreciation of housing prices and other asset classes. The notion of increasing subordination is supported by the dramatic increase in asset price volatility experienced by first wave Boomers in 2011 during an economic crisis that wiped out in a single year 22 percent of accumulated U.S. wealth - an unprecedented level of wealth destruction that left nearly 66 percent of Boomers unprepared for retirement. Whereas the wealth destruction created by the financial crisis is well documented, the longer-term effects of asset price volatility on health and retirement satisfaction remains unexplored in the literature. Moreover, the financial crisis demonstrated that retirement outcomes can be subordinate to market performance in a temporal sense as well -- indicating that when an individual retires is just as important as how much wealth has been accumulated.It seems counterintuitive that so many Boomers would be unprepared for retirement when one considers the extent to which various assets appreciated during the Baby Boomer lifecycle, and the historically high level of home ownership that Boomers achieved. This dichotomy creates a central organizing question that informs the present study: how does retirement unpreparedness and market volatility impact the health and retirement satisfaction of Boomers?This dissertation seeks to demonstrate the interaction effects between various periods of asset price volatility, the use of various types of financial products (including home equity loans), increasing levels of market subordination, and post-retirement satisfaction and health status. These interaction effects will be examined primarily by dividing Boomers into a three saver group typology: (1) those with a defined contribution pension plan, or IRA, that are dependent on asset price appreciation for retirement capital requirements, (2) those with a defined benefit pension plan that generates guaranteed monthly retirement income and do not rely on market performance for retirement income, and (3) those without a retirement plan.The present study is based on a custom dataset comprised of multiple explanatory variables derived from the Health and Retirement Survey Database (hereafter, HRS), and historical price data for various types of assets. The HRS (Health and Retirement Study) is sponsored by the National Institute on Aging (grant number NIA U01AG009740) and is conducted by the University of Michigan. This analysis (a) examines a portion of the research literature that compares the retirement preparedness of Boomers nearing retirement age with earlier same-aged cohorts at various times, and during different types of market conditions; (b) identifies the effects of growing market subordination on retirement outcomes and health; (c) estimates the impact of these effects on composite measures that reflect retirement satisfaction, mental health, and physical health; and (d), identifies individual level characteristics that may inhibit or promote vulnerability. The findings from this research will inform policymakers seeking to improve the retirement outcomes of individuals at varying SES levels. It will also provide evidence of the impact of financialization and finance culture on health and retirement satisfaction.Some of the key findings of this study were: (1) a statistically significant increase of negative mental sentiment, and a decrease in retirement satisfaction in male HRS respondents after periods of market volatility, (2) the demonstration of reduced negative mental sentiment and higher levels of retirement satisfaction exhibited by retired individuals with monthly pension income, versus those individuals without monthly pension income, and (3) the demonstration of variation between SES groups in terms of their ability to recover lost capital after periods of market volatility.

Download or read book The Pinch written by David Willetts and published by Atlantic Books. This book was released on 2011-05-01 with total page 150 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The baby boom of 1945-65 produced the biggest, richest generation that Britain has ever known. Today, at the peak of their power and wealth, baby boomers now run the country; by virtue of their sheer demographic power, they have fashioned the world around them in a way that meets all of their housing, healthcare, and financial needs. In this original and provocative book, David Willetts shows how the baby boomer generation has attained this position at the expense of their children. Social, cultural, and economic provision has been made for the reigning section of society, whilst the needs of the next generation have taken a back seat. Willetts argues that if our political, economic, and cultural leaders do not begin to discharge their obligations to the future, the young people of today will be taxed more, work longer hours for less money, have lower social mobility, and live in a degraded environment in order to pay for their parents' quality of life. Baby boomers, worried about the kind of world they are passing on to their children, are beginning to take note. However, whilst the imbalance in the quality of life between the generations is becoming more obvious, what is less certain is whether the older generation will be willing to make the sacrifices necessary for a more equal distribution. The Pinch is a landmark account of intergenerational relations in Britain. It is essential reading for parents and policymakers alike.

Book Synopsis The Baby Boomers Grow Up by : Susan Krauss Whitbourne
Download or read book The Baby Boomers Grow Up written by Susan Krauss Whitbourne and published by Psychology Press. This book was released on 2006 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The goal of this volume is to examine development in middle age from the perspective of baby boomers -- a unique cohort in the United States defined as those individuals born from 1946 to 1962. This is the largest cohort ever to enter middle age in Western society, and they currently represent approximately one-third of the total U.S. population. The Baby Boomers Grow Up provides contemporary and comprehensive perspectives of development of the baby boomer cohort as they proceed through midlife. Baby boomers continue to exert a powerful impact on the media, fiction, movies, and even popular music, just as they were an imposing force in society from the time of their entry into youth. As these individuals enter the years normally considered to represent midlife, they are redefining how we as a society regard adults in their middle and later years. This volume features several unique aspects. First, the literature reviewed focuses specifically on research relevant to baby boomers and their development as adults, rather than a global perspective on middle age. Second, the volume takes into account the diversity within the boomer cohort, such as social class, race, and education. In addition, quantitative and qualitative developmental changes occurring from the forties to the fifties and the sixties are considered. Differences in leading and trailing edge boomers are likewise addressed. Ideal for researchers in adult development and graduate seminars on adult development, The Baby Boomers Grow Up will also appeal to adult educators, human resource personnel, health professionals and service providers, and clinical psychologists and counselors.
Book Synopsis OK Boomer, Let's Talk by : Jill Filipovic
Download or read book OK Boomer, Let's Talk written by Jill Filipovic and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2020-08-11 with total page 336 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “Particularly relevant in an election year...This book is full of data—on the economy, technology, and more—that will help millennials articulate their generational rage and help boomers understand where they’re coming from.” —The Washington Post “Jill Filipovic cuts through the noise with characteristic clarity and nuance. Behind the meme is a thoughtfully reported book that greatly contributes to our understanding of generational change.” —Irin Carmon, coauthor of the New York Times bestseller Notorious RBG Baby Boomers are the most prosperous generation in American history, but their kids are screwed. In this eye-opening book, journalist Jill Filipovic breaks down the massive problems facing Millennials including climate, money, housing, and healthcare. In Ok Boomer, Let’s Talk, journalist (and Millenial) Jill Filipovic tells the definitive story of her generation. Talking to gig workers, economists, policy makers, and dozens of struggling Millennials drowning in debt on a planet quite literally in flames, Filipovic paints a shocking and nuanced portrait of a generation being left behind: -Millennials are the most educated generation in American history—and also the most broke. -Millennials hold just 3 percent of American wealth. When they were the same age, Boomers held 21 percent. -The average older Millennial has $15,000 in student loan debt. The average Boomer at the same age? Just $2,300 in today’s dollars. -Millennials are paying almost 40 percent more for their first homes than Boomers did. -American families spend twice as much on healthcare now than they did when Boomers were young parents. Filipovic shows that Millennials are not the avocado-toast-eating snowflakes of Boomer outrage fantasies. But they are the first American generation that will do worse than their parents. “OK, Boomer” isn’t just a sarcastic dismissal—it’s a recognition that Millennials are in crisis, and that Boomer voters, bankers, and policy makers are responsible. Filipovic goes beyond the meme, upending dated assumptions with revelatory data and revealing portraits of young people delaying adulthood to pay down debt, obsessed with “wellness” because they can’t afford real healthcare, and struggling to #hustle in the precarious gig economy. Ok Boomer, Let’s Talk is at once an explainer and an extended olive branch that will finally allow these two generations to truly understand each other.
