Q&A: Boomers and Aging Parents
I just came from your presentation at Texas Wesleyan College this afternoon and enjoyed it very much.
But I would love to hear your take on how the Boomers are handling the enormous responsibity many have had to take on with aging parents, when they themselves are aging.

Dear Linda,
Thanks very much for your note.
Caring for aging parents is a major responsibility for many Boomers, and a growing number of X’ers, today. The one optimistic note I can offer is that today’s longer life expectancies mean that Boomers are not aging quite as quickly as members of their parents’ generation did. As a result, happily, most Boomers still have the vitality required to handle this significant challenge.
Warm wishes,
Tammy
