Boomers Adjusting to Change
November 6, 2009 by Mary Emma Allen
I’ve discovered that many boomers and retirees don’t like change. They have a preconceived idea of what their life should be like as they reach the “mature” years and then are discouraged when life doesn’t fit that mold.

Especially in today’s world, with the economic situation in disarray and retirement money often much less than expected, change is inevitable. The change can destroy or buoy us. We can meet the challenges as an adventure or fall through the cracks in the sidewalk.
This can be a time for boomers to explore the small business options, those that don’t involve a great deal of investment or overhead, but will give them some much needed income. This is not to say it will be easy, finding avenues of income that will make up for that lost. But boomers are up to the challenge!
What are you doing to adjust to change in today’s world?
(Remember, President Obama said we were going to experience “change” with him! It may or may not be what you expected, but change it certainly is.)
