Baby Boomers represent the largest generation in the history
of America. A few years ago a Fortune
Magazine article reported there were 77 million Boomers in the country,
which is three times any previous generation in history.
History shows us that any time the Baby Boomer generation
entered a new phase in life, the
US economy changed to accommodate their massive numbers. They have controlled
the economy since their boom started in 1946.
The Fortune
article touched on how Baby Boomers are now stampeding at a rapid pace toward
their retirement years and will be doing lots of buying, just as they have done
when they entered past phases.
Now that Baby Boomers are entering the retirement phase,
where are they going? A recent article in USA Today showed a detailed map of
where they are headed. Forty-two percent indicated that they wanted to retire
to the Southeastern part of the United States. Three percent wanted to retire
in the Northeast and nine percent were headed to the West Coast. With so many
Baby Boomers heading our way, it will be similar to the Texas oil boom.
According to the Fortune
article, this will be the largest demographic shift in population we have ever
seen in American history. As Baby Boomers make their stampede toward warmer
climates, timing will be everything. If you enjoy the Hilton Head Island area
or other areas in the Southeastern United States, make the move to buy now
before the stampede arrives in full force.
