Baby Boomers are starting to grow up and many aren't sure how to act as an adult. Well, that may be a little pushy, but the fact of the matter is when most of us who were born between 1946 and 1964 were growing up we decided we were not going to be denied the good things in life that our parents lacked due to the Great Depression and following World War II when they really started to live it up, memories of those times were still fresh in their minds.
As adults, we baby boomers decided to live for them. Now the time is approaching and not all of us are ready for retirement. Many of us can't afford to quit work and many others don't want to. Looking for other careers or ways to make additional income are high on our list of things to do when we retire.
For others, just staying healthy enough to enjoy retirement is the goal. Nutrition and health care are a major concern as wel continue to live longer than those that passed before us.

After looking for information that can help us boomers with our health, wealth and personal lives, I discovered there is a lot of it available, but you really have to look. I don't know about everyone else, but I do not always have to time sort through all the BS advertising to find what I am looking for. For example, I was looking up 'baby boomer health' through the search engine and the first20 or 30 was how to market vitamins and offering to let me buy into their website business.
After several months of finding the same thing over and over I decided us baby boomers needed a website that brings all the information together, under on roof so to speak. That is what I started the site, www.babyboomertime.com.
I try to cover many issues affecting those of us in this group as well as allowing others to join in the discussions.
I have selected some of the top companies on the internet as well, based on their reputation in online retailing.
I charge nothing for using this site and there is no required sign-up. I do not collect visitor information and will not bombard visitors with spam.
It's designed to be a fun and informational place to go for all of your baby boomer needs.

OK - it is the second day of January, 2008. Wonder where last year went? Wonder where this year is going? Getting closer to retirment or looking for a job to help pay the bills?
Let everyone know how you will be spending the winter months and share your dreams and anxieties!

As the primary elections are coming to an end, although Democrats are still having trouble deciding on a candidate, voters need to start looking at the issues with their brains and not through rose-colored glasses. There is a lot a rhetoric spewed forth by the candidates in every election and some it may actually make sense. However, to really understand what you are getting in a candidate you have to look beyond what they say and what they have done, you have to consider what they are currently capable of doing.

Voters need to overlook the contentious behavior of the many special interest groups as they try to make their oftentimes self-indulgent believes a major issue in an election year. The presidential election is to decide the leader of the United States and not who is going to support their individual, selfish interests.

Look at the issues that affect the entire country - not one state or one group - but everyone. Choose the candidate that will work to make the best decision that offers the best for the good of the entire country.

The government's stimulous checks have begun to roll out and some folks are finding that the extra money can come in handy for a lot of reasons. Unfortunately, the checks are arriving at a time when some do not see them benefitting the economy as they were meant to benefit. As the price of food and gasoline continues to make everyday living more expensive, many are finding the $600 or $1,200 checks are going to pay every day bills instead of allowing them to afford a new television or other items considered less than necesssary.
