A Depressed, Self-Oriented Generation Retires
A perfect storm approaches the shores of this country, and the first wave hits this year (2011 AD). The baby boom generation reaches retirement age, and by 2020 we will be in the heart of the storm. But the demographics are scary. These guys aborted 80 million babies from 1960 - 1990 (through abortifacients and abortion). They imploded their birthrates. Add to that a Bankrupt Social Security System, the character of the nation failing, a huge increase in clinical depression among the retirees, huge debt and little savings, and a cracking economy. . . It's a perfect storm. While the politicians will be rushing to plug the economic holes in the system, there are deeper issues at stake. Dr. Gregg Jantz shares some of the challenges baby boomers will face in the upcoming years. But what are the more fundamental issues? How have they defined "happiness?" And how are they seeking it in the wrong sort of way?
