I belong to a group of people referred to as BABY BOOMERS... Those who were born after WWII... in my case it was 1947.
I am not sure if the BABY BOOMERS did anything more than start the ANTI-ESTABLISHMENT movement and then when we became middle-aged, became part of the establishment.
I remember saying when I was 50 years old... "let's stick it to the man... Wait a minute, I am the man..."
Some BABY BOOMERS became very wealthy, but I was not that concerned with building my wealth as I was with maintaining a simple lifestyle.
Consequently, I stayed in the South where low wages were prevalent and in 2,000 became debt free and maintained that status ever since.
My wives (two marriages) and I have always owned our homes with the first purchase being 1970.
I have never worked with an organization long enough to have a retirement program, so my current wife and I are living on social security and what we have saved. Not sure if it will be enough but somehow, we will make it work.
I don't regret anything that I have done or not done in my life so far and I would not change anything if I had it to do over again.
