BABY BOOM HEALTH FLASH
The baby boomers, myself included, are coming of age. Watch out for the health changes to come. I am talking radical changes here! And to be honest, it’s about time. The boomers will change the way health is approached and viewed. Longevity will extend and health will improve dramatically in the years ahead. Cellular research will make a gigantic leap in the 2000’s. Cloning of cells will be the norm in cases of muscular disease and paralysis. Arthritis and preexisting joint problems will be cured of problems, long before they become a major issue. The right to die with dignity will be norm in most states, with the exception of some Southern regions of the U.S., who’ll cling to the past. Fifty-year-old people will appear forty and so on. Ten years will be wiped from all age groups.
Just where economically will Boomers effect the most change?
Health, health, health. Anything connected to living a longer and more fruitful life. A good bet for future investments would be health stocks and olden age retirement communities. Housing needs will continue to increase dramatically in warm climates and reduce in colder climates. It’ll hit bumps and grinds, then make a swing into high gear over the next fifty years or so. Retirement homes must rise to the high standards of boomers. And believe me, baby boomer standards are high.
