Trend: Retirement 2.0, The Boomer Generation is Redefining the "Golden Years"

The latest trend in retirement is not to retire. Well, at least not in the traditional sense. As millions of baby boomers begin the transition into their golden years, "retirement" is a word that is falling out of favor. Today's sixty-year-olds, the active generation that brought us the mountain bike, jogging and the snowboard, are redefining retirement (think of it now as Retirement 2.0). As they downshift from corporate careers and downsize their homes, they are also redefining where people of this new retirement generation spend this next phase in their lives. And, this is how one resort town found itself a new retirement mecca, just don't use the "R" word in Waterville Valley New Hampshire. (PRWeb Jun 30, 2008)
