Description

Despite everything written and broadcast about Baby Boomers, one major fact has been overlooked by experts and the media: Nearly 75 percent, or about 57 million Boomers, come from economically poor, working class or small family-owned business roots. The new Report, "The 75% Factor: Uncovering Hidden Boomer Values," is co-written by generational demographer James V. Gambone Ph.D, author of ReFirement, a Boomer’s Guide to Life After 50, and noted investment expert and 17-year contributor to Public Radio International’s "Sound Money," Erica Whittlinger. The Executive Summary of the Report says that understanding where we came from and the strength of our core values is key to how we confront and interpret the significant events and crossroads of mid-life. "Millions of us are aging professionals or career-minded individuals who struggle, or will struggle, with the psychological effects of having crossed class lines," says Gambone, principal investigator for the study.

Why don’t we simply "retire" the concept of retirement? Retirement hasn’t been around that long. It’s not even as old as television. It was created for a male industrial workforce that literally needed to rest after 65. What if we replaced the retirement concept with a new and positive vision of basing your life and work choices on your core values, your passions, a commitment to lifelong learning, an intentional connection to all generations, and a willingness to use your legacy as a starting point for deciding how you want to live today? Instead of waiting for retirement, or a major life crisis to change directions, the new paradigm would promote multiple career portfolios, translating passions into life and work opportunities, and finding meaning and authenticity in our life journey. Why defer our dreams? ReFirement is dedicated to a vision of our world where a full life doesn't begin or end at a certain age or sometime in the future?ReFirement means we can have a full life today!.
