Advice to Boomers

Downsize!
Save your money!
Develop good relationships with your children and grandchildren!

The financial implications of so many people retiring are enormous. Christians who look ahead need to understand that retirement systems are shaky at best. Most of us have not saved enough to live well unless we make some dramatic changes in our lifestyles.

It is not too late to start saving money. People are complaining about the high price of gasoline but few are driving less or buying small cars. Karen and I sold our home and bought a small condo several years ago. We have no mortgage and no car payments. The banks hate us because we do not borrow but they love us when we have savings.

Since we are living so much longer and our kids will extend even that we had better learn to get along with each other. Take some classes on genealogy and family relationships; find a good family counselor; learn to have fun together. After all, we may all be living together in a Pueblo before long.

Find a church that will involve your mind, wisdom and insights. The near future belongs to your generation. Enjoy it with the Lord.
