They are at the forefront of what’s been called a “longevity economy,” whether they are generating income in the workforce or spending their Social Security checks. According to a recent AARP Bulletin, baby boomers continue to generate a powerful amount of economic activity. As consumers, they take in $7 trillion per year in goods and services. Even though they are aging – about half are 60 to 71 years old, and half are between 53 and 60 years old – they continue to forge new ground and explore new lifestyles, as economic, technological and medical advancements have provided them with many more alternatives in how and where they can spend their time.
