Book Overview

This book shows Baby Boomers – those born between 1946 and 1964 – how structured financial planning can help them overcome challenges facing their generation and enable them to live a life of choice not compromise. As a result of unique and significant social phenomena and related financial issues, many Boomers are unsure if we can finance our lifestyles before and after retirement. And the fact is that if we don’t start planning, we will be forced to live a life of compromise. So what can we do?

There’s no silver bullet, it all comes down to planning.

Part 1 of the book shows you specific steps in your planning towards your financial and personal goals:

1. Awareness – knowing where you are financially
2. Goals – knowing where you want to go
3. Strategy – determining how you can reach those goals
4. Support – finding out who can help you
5. Review – staying on course to achieve those goals

Part 2 explores four major challenges facing Boomers today: divorce, unemployment, health care and dependents. If you’re not sure what these issues mean for your financial future, we give you steps for managing them while continuing to pursue your financial and personal goals.
