Abstract:

Born between 1946 and 1964, Boomers have shaped the U.S. economy and society for years. As many Boomers now reach their 50s, they are preparing for the "second" stage of their lives. This four-part curriculum addresses important issues for consumers, especially Boomers. "Stop! Let Me Off the Merry-Go-Round" looks at balancing family and life responsibilities. "Money in the Mattress" addresses retirement planning. "The Fast & Healthy Answer To…What's For Dinner?” discusses dietary guidelines, nutrition, and fast food. "Friends and Lovers" talks about adult relationships.
