I just read an excellent post on bridge jobs for babyboomers. Now, th
is is inspirational because it shows it encourages baby boomers to look at jobs for the purpose of staying productive. Yet, I am stuck on the fact that so many baby boomers I know are just trying to add to their pensions.
A bridge job for many is an essential job for many baby boomers who lost their jobs or need to pay for benefits until they reach medicare eligibility.
So, look at this post and share with others who may be thinking about staying productive or just plain need a job.
Just read this article about more baby boomers deciding to start a business instead of retiring. Many may be borrowing money from their IRA’s, home equity other sources.

Baby boomers hobbyists and collectors are one of the most fascinating groups I know. My husband, artist Ray Horner Jr. is one of those baby boomers. This baby boomer loves Acoustic Research Speakers. Partner this love with his art and carpentry skills and you have a baby boomer that takes on the challenge of making the inner beauty of classic stereo speakers sing beautiful music.
Take a few minutes to view the evolution of a set of scrappy speakers to a restored piece of art. You did a great job Ray.
If you are a baby boomer in the in the “Sandwich Generation” How are you coping? Please share some of your coping strategies as a comment. Also, share this question on your own blogs. The answers can help someone else. Let’s try to make it go viral.
I want to be very frank about ClickBank. I like it.
What is ClickBank?
ClickBank is a major affiliate retailer of digital products. They make it possible for you to sell e-books as well as be an affiliate for other folks e-books.
Why Do I Like it?
Well, I like it more now then I liked it in the early days I first started online. It seems to be easier to use. I also like it because you can make great affiliate commissions. Just think about it. If you are selling an ebook there are no printing costs. That means you can pass on commission rates that exceed the commissions you would get from a retailer that sells products that must be sent in the mail.
If you are a publisher you can sell your book at Clickbank and offer other folks commission for promoting your products. Sounds simple? Well, for many it is but it does not come without some amount of work and learning. So, yes there are many products and gurus out there that can help you.
Do I Have One of Those “I Made Millions on ClickBank” Stories?
NO! But some of you reading this just might and I sure would love for you to share. Right now I am just returning to ClickBank to start my relationship all over again.
I have included a video I thought was simple and easy to understand. It let’s you know how to promote someone’s product in your blog post without locating a super techi to do it. This baby boomer understood it and will start using it. So Check it out and let me know what you think.
Now I just read one of the best summaries about the Health Care Reform Bill as it relates to baby boomers.
Of course many reading this post are die hards against the bill and that is ok because as baby boomers we have much to share based on our own level of experience, education and edgy focus.
YES, I am for the health care reform bill. Now, I have said it and stand by it. For me it has nothing to do with my political views, race, religion or the fact that I am not an insurance lobbyist. For me it means hope and help for many people that need the reform.
I just looked at this blog post on AOL News and it makes a very interesting correlation with still working baby boomer husbands and divorce status. But don’t stop there you just have to read the comments on the blog post. It is a hoot!
Here is a great tutorial video by an infamous baby boomer techi and teacher, Cathy Perkins. View this video then do it! I DARE YOU! Then let me know if you write a book from your blog posts.
It was a restless night. Just too much on my mind. We left the TV on and I woke up to hear Kevin Trudeau talking on an info-commercial about how you can get FREE money from the government.
Well, I have heard that from Lesko but never got the book. And, I thought, in my foggy thinking, this guy is saying that the other guys book was not the way to go. He is saying that he gives less pages and just the right info.
I continued thinking, “I really could use FREE money”. My mind drifted to bills, goals that needed money, people that needed money, and I drifted back to sleep. Oh, I did not go to sleep until I wrote his number down on my bed stand.
Later that day, I looked and the number and was about to grab my credit card. Then I stopped. I said, “Rosie, you know better, check this guy and his offer out first.” So, I did a search on google with his name and the word “scam” in the search.
Wow, there was enough there to make me laugh at how I almost gave this guy FREE money. Some complained about paying large amounts for shipping. So, here is a post I just read so you can decide for yourself before listening to your impulses like I almost did.
Now, if only we practice the technique but add truth to it that would be a good thing. What do you think? Is this article wrong? Did you buy the book and benefit from it? Are his critics just player haters? I do want to be fair because I never put money out to get the book.
