When I was a kid, one of the most fun things in the world was getting dressed up and going trick-or-treating like the kids in this 1952 photo. And, of course, there was the Halloween party at school, where we paraded around and got to see the costumes of the other kids, and, of course, […]
Hiring your children is a good way to help your Baby Boomer business:
You can get some needed part-time jobs done that it would be difficult to hire someone else to do
You can save on taxes
Your child can spend the money or build up money in a college fund.

My best friend just got back from China. She walked the Great Wall, up many steps, and she was able to keep up when other younger people weren’t. She has a regular vigorous walking routine, she lifts weights, swims with a Master’s group, and does yoga. She is in great shape! And new information shows […]
Over at Home Biz Notes, Mary Emma Allen talks about a business Baby Boomers might enjoy having: Pet Sitting and Dog Walking. If you are an animal lover like me, this would be a great idea for a business. I agree with the the comment, though, that walking dogs in Iowa in the winter might […]

I decided to retire over a year ago. Now I’m reconsidering. I’m still leaving my former employer, but I’m looking for other job opportunities. No sense sitting around watching the market; I need to get out there and make some money.
If you have decided to go back to work or start […]
One result of the credit/banking crisis has been a new wave of lenders who can help you get loans for your small business when other traditional lenders cannot. A recent Wall Street Journal article detailed one such lender, On Deck Capital. Instead of requiring you to put up assets for more traditional types of loans, […]

A recent TVLand poll predicts that 94% of Baby Boomers will be voting a week from today, with 82% of those polled stating that they are “extremely likely” to vote. Since Baby Boomers are […]
Like other baby boomers, I donate to my favorite college. Many boomers give to their alma mater, either for the sports program they love or to fund specific capital giving. But the economic situation has all that giving in jeopardy.

When I write posts, like the one I wrote last week about starting your own “For Sale By Owner/FSBO” business, I tend to forget that countries other than the U.S. might be doing the same thing.
May commented on my post and sent me the link to a website “BuyMyHome” for Australia. Thanks, May.
Other inventive entrepreneurs […]

This week, consider joining a board of directors to make a difference in your community. Board members are individuals who (1) have the time and interest in a non-profit organization to attend meetings and (2) have experience they can offer to the non-profit. Sounds like we baby boomers meet both of […]
