What if I'm a Baby Boomer who doesn't have a bundle put away or a big pension - can I still retire?  YES!

We're Baby Boomers!  We worked hard; we played hard.  Now we're approaching retirement.

We're tired of grinding out a living and want to do other things with the remainder of our lives.

If you are a Baby Boomer and the most important things to you at this stage of your life are 1) having control over your own time and 2) enjoying quality experiences, then you can "retire" even if you only have Social Security benefits or a minimal income...even if your home equity has evaporated!

The decline in home values has reduced the prospect of comfortable retirements for the majority of near retirees, according to a new report from the Center for Economic and Policy Research (CEPR) .“This extraordinary destruction of wealth will have tremendous implications for millions of families as they enter retirement,” wrote report co-author Dean Baker. “Coupled with a very low personal savings rate, this means that many people will only have Social Security and Medicare to rely on in their retirement."

This Website is devoted to helping the two-thirds of Baby Boomers who do not have a large 401K, a big pension, an inheritance, or an executive golden parachute to sustain them during retirement.  Nope - kids, divorces, job turnovers, the stock market, illnesses, declining home values and just plain life took its financial toll.  Don't fret!  Most Baby Boomers can still take control of their lives and comfortably retire by simply learning how to stretch their retirement dollars.

It requires doing some homework, but we have done most of the research for you.  In here, you will find links to carefully selected Websites containing bargains and valuable information that will help Baby Boomers of all financial stature to realize their goal of a comfortable, secure, rewarding retirement.  This is a "one stop shop" for all Baby Boomers seeking to retire on a limited income. 

We are Baby Boomers ourselves, and this site is the result of the considerable research we have accomplished because we had these questions too.  Here Baby Boomers will find valuable information, our conclusions and assessments, and carefully selected sites which can best help you to learn more about a specific topic. 

We are NOT compensated for recommending Websites.  Our research and screening is done strictly as a voluntary service for our fellow Baby Boomers.  The only compensation we receive for maintaining this site is when you click on a ad or buy a book.

Just click of any link of interest to get started.  Good luck on your journey, and drop us a line at if you have some suggestions for the site.
