Silver Savers or Over 50s MoneySaving

EdInvestor · 28 January 2010 at 6:18PM

I wonder if 'Baby Boomer Money Savers' fits into the picture on this forum?

This age range applies to people between around 46 and 64, which is probably about right for the MSEers posting and reading here - with a couple of young- in- heart distinguished exceptions.

On the whole, it seems that topics about those in the more senior age groups tend to apply to forum posters' parents.So certainly relevant, but at one remove, so to speak.

I like Baby Boomer (I'm one) except, as you say, several of our valued regulars are older than that. Wouldn't like them to feel excluded (nor any new people of over 70).

The difficulty with Baby Boomer is that it covers quite a narrow generation group and can't apply to those born before or after the boom.

I've never known whether I'm a boomer or a buster or what! Same with post-modern and post-post-modern, I guess I'm still stuck in the modern mindset. :rotfl:

If it ain't broke leave it alone. I am gold, not silver, but who cares. I am 69 and am an avid reader and poster and very sure I am not in the majority. and I don't care what I am called. Silver Surfer is fine. Baby Boomer NEVER!!!
