I made my earlier comment in all seriousness. Our place in history as the Baby Boomer generation in America means that we will be the available blame targets for three generations of up and coming Americans. The latest statistics from the Alzheimer Association says that one third of us over 65 are going to experience either Alzheimer or dementia. That is just one high cost group we will be entering in droves.
The generations coming up will only see that we not only dropped the economic ball we threw it against the ground as hard as we could. Whether that is true or not that is how it is looking... and going to continue looking. They just do not have the momentum yet on the subject. It is coming.
When the full burden of our existence hits the economy this momentum will be fully engaged. There will be a lot of us that ran out of money too soon. We will be living in tiny studio apartments owned by the state and federal government. These clusters of apartments will have a name for the seniors living there at the peoples expense. There will be a new job classification of hardworking professionals getting a family wage job to usher us out of life with dignity.
Even if we have managed to avoid the studio to heaven scenario we will have real concerns about going to the hospital for any reason.
It will take a really successful set of moves as a group on our part to avoid this disaster coming at us.
