YAHOO CALLS OUT BABY BOOMER DEBT

February 11, 2014 by

Why can’t they get the numbers right. UPDATE: Baby Boomer Birth Years run from 1946-1964. It’s more a reminder than an update, which is important when a Yahoo writer fits boomers age into the 65-74 age bracket. I’ll do the math. The youngest boomers turn fifty this year.

THE USEFUL PORTLAND BOOMER BLOGGER

February 4, 2014 by

The Common Question. What is it you ask when you meet someone new? Networking people want to know, “What do you do?” So do most others, but they won’t admit it. They don’t want to seem pushy.
