As more than 10, 000 baby boomers prepare to turn 65 in the coming year, many are facing too little funds to make it comfortable. The disappearance of the traditional pension plan, reliance on stocks, and the falling home values are putting many at financial risk.
Funding The Future
The baby boomers may be facing
Circumstances, dire.
The year ahead will find them all
Beginning to retire.
As they face their leisure years,
Some are not elated;
Their nest egg’s not what they had hoped
‘Cause they procrastinated.
Though many people plan ahead
To see their labors stop,
Some boomers say they’re ready to
Keep working till they drop.
