Yesterday, I talked about writing jobs for baby boomers. If you have always wanted to “WRITE” (whatever that means to you) and you have an idea of what you want to write, the best place to go for advice is successful authors. You don’t get any more successful than Stephen King. A Baby […]

Yesterday I talked about The Age Curve by Baby Boomer Kenneth Gronbach. The book’s subtitle is “How to Profit from the Coming Demographic Storm.” The “storm” he’s talking about, I think, is the influx of baby boomers as an aging generation and its effect on many areas of economics.
Yesterday, I said Gronbach’s central premise is […]
I have a winner in the replay of the “50 things to do at 50″ contest (more about the winner after he/she is notified). The responses were FANTASTIC and I want to share them with you, in no particular order:
