Apply no sympathy to their wounds

Had the baby boomers not purchased their Saabs and snorted half of Peru during the 80's retiring may have been a possibility before they turned seventy five.

Americans are changing the game plan for retirement, with millions laboring right past the traditional retirement age and working into their late 60s and beyond.

While the average retirement age remains 63, that standard may soon be going the way of the gold watch — a trend expected to accelerate as baby boomers close in on retirement without sufficient savings.


As a result they've once more bent us over a garbage can and are giving us the hot beef colonic since there will be fewer promotions for us to obtain and fewer jobs for us to apply to.

Oh yeah, I hope everyone had an excellenty weekend!

painfully true, dear. the realities are worse for gen x males. i know. my ex, my hubby and my bro - all of them - impacted by boomers who won't go away. so many have death grips on their jobs.
