Overview: Reynolds discusses housing market trends in the UK. Specifically, he shares, “The baby boomer generation is fuelling the house market explosion, with many thousands downsizing and buying new homes outright with ready cash.” Moreover, “Baby boomers also find that selling off their valuable homes and downsizing helps to fund their retirement, or at least makes up any shortfall from a company pension.”

Overview: Seabaugh reflects on growing older. He writes, “Most of us would never cop to calling themselves a ‘senior.’ Many are a bit embarrassed by the Baby Boomer moniker, perhaps because it has been so overused and stripped of any pride. Some of us even look around for the ghost of our father whenever anyone addresses us as ‘Sir.’” Additionally Seabaugh shares, “I am certain of one thing about my gender and my generation: We do not feel our fate is sealed, our story is written, or our race has been handicapped.”
