Yesterday, on NPR’s Morning Business Report, an announcer floated an interesting thought. As Americans we put too much money in our houses. The tax laws are skewed toward real estate, but he may be right.

As all boomers know “The times they are a changin’”. What with all the troubles in the sub-prime mortgage market it looks as if the housing slump looks like it will go through this year. Not good.

What you want
If you’re a boomer you probably have stock investments. Either you have them personally or indirectly through a mutual fund or a pension plan. You want them to do two things if you know it or not. First, you want them to preserve your capital. Don’t loose my money. Second, you want them […]

The University of Wisconsin - Milwaukee is holding a one day conference on boomers and work. The web site is www.sce-boomer.uwm.edu .
