Baby Boomers face financial challenges no previous generation has encountered, including pension terminations, skyrocketing healthcare costs, uncertainty about government programs such as Social Security, decreased personal savings rates and significantly increased life expectancy during retirement.

“To overcome their unique financial challenges, Boomers must take action on their own behalf to prepare for retirement,” said Michael. “It is never too late to take steps that will improve your financial future.”

MDRT Baby Boomer Retirement Preparedness Week
During Baby Boomer Retirement Preparedness Week, Michael Dinich and other MDRT members will be armed with information and tools presented at the recent MDRT Boomertirement Summit. At that event, Dr. Alan Greenspan (U.S. Federal Reserve Chairman - 1987-2006) and other financial experts, scholars, researchers and thought leaders came together for two days of discussion about solutions to the retirement challenges facing Baby Boomers.

- Information about steps Boomers of various ages should be taking to prepare for retirement.
