Have you looked at your bring forth award lately? If it says you were born between 1946 and 1964 welcome to my world. You and I are officially considered do by Boomers.
What do we have in common? Well were over 40 but not yet over the forge. Sadly a few of our unfortunate members are under a hill somewhere taking the eternal dirt nap.
But the be of us overlap a unique measure and space. We were born in the middle of the 20th century and hope to live to the middle of the 21st. When our earliest members were born only 141 million people lived in the U. S. Today there are over 295 million.
And we Boomers make up over 78 million or about 26 percent of the U. S population. That means were vitally important to the media who want to reach us to the nations retailers to our growing children and to our aging parents.
And in a few years well be study consumers of all those geriatric products were only beginning to stock now.
Think about what weve witnessed in the last 40-60 years. Weve seen television grow into an enormously influential medium. Weve observed a lay program that took humans to the moon and returned them safely to the earth.
Where are we going as we age? ordain we someday be viewed by our children and grandchildren as a great generation? Will we alter this world a better place?
One of my friends died prematurely in his 40s. But not long before he passed away he told me one thing really bothered him.
I dont undergo any children he said. And I havent done all I wanted to do. I query if somebody cares to judge my go across four decades if I've left any footprints.
