What Are The Struggles Baby Boomers Deal With
As we are Aging and move into our later years, we face a unique set of challenges that impact our Lifestyle, health, and economic stability. Understanding these issues and struggles are crucial not only for our baby Boomer Generation, but also for younger generations who interact with and potentially care for us. Our experts in this area of the site explore the struggles facing many of us with chronic health conditions like heart disease, Diabetes and arthritis and Mental Health issues like Depression and Anxiety, and the high cost of medical care, which can become overwhelming.
Retirement savings issues have become a stark reality for many of us. With the shift from Pension plans to 401(k) plans, many find we do not have enough saved to comfortably retire. Additionally, the impact of economic recessions over the years has further eroded our savings, leaving some of us financially vulnerable as we are aging. Changes in family structures have left many Baby Boomers feeling disconnected and isolated. The rapid pace of technological advancement has possibly created a digital divide between generations that many of us are struggling to overcome. But we are a resilient generation that has faced numerous struggles throughout our lives. As we navigate the complexities of aging, we can continue to adapt and overcome obstacles with strength and grace.

Richard Nixon remains one of the more fascinating and complex figures in American history, embodying well-known deep flaws in parallel with acts of brilliance. His most infamous role was as the puppet master behind the Watergate scandal, ultimately leading to his resignation from the Presidency and scarring his legacy. Some historians point to Watergate as the watershed (ha!) moment beginning the decades-long slippery slide (ha! ha!) of anti-government paranoia leading to today. However, Nixon’s career also exhibited sharp intellect, strategic political thinking, and an ability…
