Today is your day Boomer! We are likely the most high-profile, influential generation of all-time. We, the Baby Boomers, can reflect back on a time of intense global change, cultural revolution, individualism, and economic motivation. American writer Philip Bump describes it this way: "Boomer babies fueled a huge spike in diaper sales. North American school systems had to rapidly expand classrooms and hire an enormous number of new teachers to make way for the influx of young boomer pupils. While boomers spent much of their lives benefiting from a robust economy, it is their very existence that helped to create that prosperity: They were a cohort of historically-unprecedented size, whose basic need to be clothed, fed, housed and educated was a decades-long jobs creator and economy stimulator. And they were a cohort whose massive size and timing — not just in the immediate aftermath of World War II, but decades into a postindustrial era of growth, government investment and a strong middle class — meant cultural and economic dominance for much of their lives." Yes, but now most of us are retired and into our 60's and 70's. Life has changed, BIG TIME! hasn't it? See table in this picture. Comical, yup, but also an eye opener as our worldly influence wanes....so be it!
