Happy New Year. I spent most of yesterday working on an article about the top consumer stories of 2019. Today, I’ll be working on the top consumer stories of the decade. I don’t know whether to laugh or cry.
Retirement
Baby boomers contemplate winter solstice, feeling different, aging, money, and Christmas trees
It’s the holiday season. The New Year will be here soon with new beginnings and old challenges yet unresolved. To inspire you, here are the latest thought-provoking articles and practical advice from the bloggers in our group.
Baby boomers bundle up and keep writing
Burr. An early chill descended across the county, and Jennifer Koshak of Unfold and Begin said they were even feeling it in Florida. One day, the daytime temps didn’t get out of the ’50s. Sigh. Although we don’t often have snow here in the Seattle area, it’s been cold.

Bloggers seeking inner peace and keeping active
Bloggers in our group are writing what keeps them steady – not only in this crazy world – but also during this, at times, challenging stage of life. Articles include thoughts on meditation, retirement, law and order, and relaxation.
Bloggers focus on change
The leaves are already beginning to change here in the Seattle area, so change and fall are in the air.
