Baby Boomers

Baby Boomers are the people born during the years 1946 to 1964. At that point in time there was a temporary increased birth rate. My parents were both during this era. As most people in this era are retired or retiring. Through my research and knowledge, I feel that there are many different things that will be beneficial and to their interest in the next coming years. 
1)      Travel: These ‘baby boomers’ have money to spend and are in retirement and such. They have plenty of time to do many things. Traveling is an amazing experience that most people would love to experience. It is an easier thing for them to be able to do now because most likely, their mortgages and all their obligations are pretty well paid off. They have the funds and freedom to do as they like.
2)      Assisted Living/ Homecare: A lot of elderly people feel better living in places with assistance. Meals provided, health care, help, and other elderly people around. It gives them more of a social environment and also all the help that they could ever need. Most of their children and family would also probably agree that it is a better living situation. It a bigger relief for them not having to be worried about their parents being home and something happening and not having anyone around to help.

3)      Technology: Technology is such a big aspect in today’s society. Children, adults, and elderly people they all use it to some point. Even hearing aids would be part of technology. It may seem a little absurd thinking back in the older days. Realistically though now, my parents are both in their 50’s and they find technology a little challenging sometimes but a big convenience to them. They love to text and it’s an easier way to get in touch, well at least in our family. Skype is also another aspect that they may find beneficial. In many cases, family may be living away or away for certain times. It is a very nice thing to have. It gives you the chance to see each other and talk to each other just like you are near. I think that most people would love the chance to see their distant family.
