Financial Insights: Navigating Wealth and Retirement for Baby Boomers
The good news, according to financial Experts we’ve consulted, is that Baby Boomers still control 50% of all the wealth in the U.S.—more than any other generation. A 2022 Investopedia Financial Literacy Survey, which polled 1,000 U.S. Boomers, revealed that we are typically fiscally conservative, goal-centric, independent, and resourceful. Most of us are at least somewhat confident in our ability to manage our finances.
When it comes to Retirement expectations, more than 25% of survey participants anticipate receiving retirement income from pensions and 401(k)s. Others expect income from savings, certificates of deposits (CDs), and market investments. A significant majority (70%) of still-working Boomers expect to be able to support themselves with Social Security alone when they are no longer able to work, although this may be more wishful thinking than reality. Among those surveyed, 62% are retired, 23% expect to retire, and 16% are unsure they will ever be able to quit working.
Interestingly, 83% of Boomers expressed confidence in their ability to manage finances. The top financial skill Boomers wish to acquire is how to keep financial information safe online. Additionally, many Boomers now manage the budgets of ElderlyFamily members, which can be challenging, especially when those loved ones cannot communicate their financial goals.
Another survey finding was that 77% of Boomers consider themselves beginners in understanding digital currency. For us at BabyBoomer.org, an important insight from the survey was that most Boomers prefer to acquire financial knowledge through reading (37%) and talking to others (35%), rather than watching videos, game simulations, classes, or podcasts. We will, therefore, aim to provide valuable resources to meet these preferences.

Love isn’t something you can grab off a shelf or click to add to your cart. It’s not tucked inside a velvet box or hidden behind the steering wheel of a luxury car. If you think love has a price tag, then maybe you’re looking for possession, not passion. Love is real, raw, and soul-stirring — and it can’t be bought, sold, or rented. It’s one of those rare things in life that demands your heart, not your wallet.
In today’s world, where social media shows off designer bags and private jets as markers of “relationship goals,” it’s easy to believe that gifts equal love. But …

In this episode of Business Brain, we get into when to stop using chat and move to Cowork. Chat is a great place to start — it’s just not where we should live. Dave’s signals: more than five back-and-forths, or constantly pasting in screenshots, log files, and PDFs. That’s the tell. Point Cowork at the folder instead and stop copying and pasting. His trick is to ask the chat directly whether it’s time to move, and to have it write the handoff prompt for the Cowork session, since Cowork doesn’t inherit the full context. Flip the default: assume you’re going to Cowork, then convinc…
