NC Boomers Fat and Flat Broke

There was recently an article in the Charlotte Observer entitled Some N.C. boomers: Fat and flat broke. Those among the first decade of boomers - now at retirement age or within 10 years of it - may find a combination of unhealthy living and unwise personal finance decisions will leave them in rough shape after age 65.

OK, if you read my blog regularly than all of this sounds like a broken record. I make three simple points about aging. Prepare now financially, physically and emotionally for aging so that old age does not become one crisis after another.

As F.D.R. said: "Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you've got to start young."
