Great site – extremely informative!
I am not sure if I fall into the baby boomer category, but I graduated in HS in 1978. Am I? Any how, I found this blog through communication via Twitter. Similar to your objective of having one place for people to discuss health care, retirement and everything in between, I was wondering about having one place where people can go to get discounts from pharmaceutical manufacturers to help ease the high cost of prescription drugs. That’s how my website started. It took months for me to put it together, and I think it can be very useful for all consumers. It’s free and community supported based on donations. I hope you can take advantage of the services.
I FIRMLY believe that as we near the retirement years, no one is going to give us what we all desire for financial independence. Doing research on ways to accomplish this endeavor has been a long process for me with some hits and misses along the way.
My wife and I feel good about our decisions that are leading us on a path for a very secure retirement. It’s work, like anything else worth having but also quite a bit of fun!

Glad to hear it! Welcome! I look forward to seeing caregiver information for boomers on your site http://www.thesilversurferclub.com
I have a few questions.
1) Does one have to be retired to remove money without penalty from an IRA, 401K, 403B etc at age 59 1/2?
2) How does one post a video on you.tube?
3) If I want to make my own video is there a source of picures/videos I could use in my own video, for example if I wanted a picture of the planet earth from space spliced into my video can I do that?
Vivian’s answer to question #1 has been answered by Arin Goldman, an investment banker and ImagineAge blogger. To view the answer, go to the “Wise” Category or to the “Finance Question” blog.
Thank you for a great blog, I will be sure to bookmark your site and check back later

I don’t know If I said it already but …Cool site, love the info. I do a lot of research online on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks,
A definite great read….
I like your site but it is hard for my 64 year old eyes to read it. How about making it more eye-friendly in the contrast department?
Thank you for the great web site – a true resource, and one many people clearly enjoy
[... - blog.imagineage.com is another must see source of information. Making money online is [... -
Great site! I will be following you!
If you every have an interest in Alzheimer’s disease, I have a resource website and blog from a caregivers perspective. I hope to have my book out later in 2010 to help people identify stress triggers for themselves and those with Alzheimers’s, so they can reduce combative behaviors and create remarkable moments. Here are the links if you wnat to check them out

You’ve gathered terrific information for baby boomers. I write about active travel for baby boomers at http://myitchytravelfeet.com
I agree with a previous comment. Black background with white lettering is very hard on baby boomers eyes. Good luck with your site.
This looks GREAT! Yes, a little rough on a Baby Boomers eyes, but look forward to following and sharing ideas and benefits with all of y’all! I am a 60 year old, single, laid-off/retired/self employed guy here in NC. I am involved in several different internet based businesses and most of them are FREE! The best one is found here:

This site looks GREAT! Well except for the wear on us Baby Boomers eyes as mentioned before! Anyway I am following you and look forward to learning from and sharing with all of y’all. Myself, I am a 60 year old, single, laid-off/retired/self employed entrepreneur that is involved in several different online businesses, most of them FREE. The best one, I think can be found here:

I like the design of this blog. It is filled with great information and it is worth to come back and explore sth new. About the boomers generation: We had some great time, some of us will soon or have retired and enjoy free time, others have to take the challenge to keep up with the constant changes in technology.
Glad to hear it! Welcome! I look forward to seeing caregiver information for boomers on your site
Looks like you are taking on an exciting task. I want to wish you the best. I am particularly interested in the group of baby boomers who are seeking to become entrepreneurs as their alternative to retirement. I hope you will write on that topic.

bohzo nikan (Hello friend)
Great blog. Wanted to leave this so you knew I was here.
This is the best site I have found that caters to boomers as opposed to 20 somethings and younger. Thank you. I will be a regular reader. I also love the site itself. Very well done.
Hey–so glad you “Tweeted” me–I would love to connect, and talk. There are about a zillion things we have in common and about a zillion more I would like to share with you.
I’d also like to send you a copy of my book: Autumn Romance: Stories and Portraits of Love after 50
Can you send me your regular email?
I am caroldenker@comcast.net
Terrific Web site. What a rich resource for us boomers. I’ll definitely be following.
How do you deal with alzheimers disease?
Great site. There is so much happening to and for Boomers today. It is an exciting time but also a challenging time to be growing old. We face difficulties in so many areas but our sheer numbers provide an advantage if we can harness it.
Harnessing our collective purchasing power to create opportunities for Boomers is what http://www.myboomer2boomer.com is all about. We hope you will check out our site and join our movement.
Thanks for Tweet/follow. I’m pharmacist/ turned software developer – and am just about to start developing OnTimeRx, a medication reminder app, for the Android phones and for the iPhone (now that they allow multitasking!) So I really got a kick out of the young guys’ videos – discussing and comparing iPhones, Droids, etc. Good user input from “dudes” who know about these things. Us older technophiles can always learn a thing or two from the grandkids. They always seem to be up on the latest. Check out my site for helpful reminder solutions for yourself, your family member, and especially if you’re a caregiver. I’ll be back often. Thanks again.
Great site! I am a baby boomer (barely) having been born in 1964. I am physically disabled, with Cerebral Palsy, and use a motorized wheelchair and a service dog.
I am looking to train my 4th service dog at the moment and am currently upgrading my top-rated website. I am one of the top service dog experts in the US, so if you have questions, just ask! It has been an exciting 18 years with 3 service dogs and I can’t wait to get started with my next dog. I am also an ADA and disability expert. If you have a disability question, I will try to answer it, if I can’t find the answer, I know someone who CAN answer it!
Are you a boomer or a zoomer?
I’m a professor of gerontology, and my longitudinal research (1998-2008) identified nine lifestyle traits that provide guidelines for successful aging and productive retirement.
These lifestyle traits identify a subculture within the Boomer Generation called ZOOMERS.
Boomers are welcome to submit their active lifestyle stories for a possible profile in ZOOMER magazine.
All the best,
