I was fortunate enough to be a part of a New York Times article discussing Baby Boomers and keeping active. I have an athletic training studio in New York City (ARC Athletics)and my biggest group of clients is Baby Boomers. They have been active all of their lives and want to stay that way. So with my experience as a certified athletic trainer dealing with the evaluation, treatment and rehabilitation from sports injuries - who better to devise a safe fitness program for Baby Boomers?!? I'm working with their physcians and physical therapists to keep them active. The bottom line is that we may have to change what we have done over the last 20 years, but we can keep active.

Plenty of us baby boomers paid for our own education.
Our parents fought in the WWII and weren't rich enough to send us to college.
Who told you your parents owe you a college education?
Once you reach 18 you are an adult start acting like one instead of whining on what your parents didn't do for you.

As a Gen X kid I am appalled at the Baby boomers. These greedy individuals quite simply want everything. They don't want to die. They don't want to get old. They want to take it with them when they go.
They heavily abused drugs, partied insanely in the 60's and 70's, sucked the economy dry in the 80's, lived off the intellectual abilities of the Gen X crowd in the 90's and the 00's, and they wont stop obsessing about dying. A natural part of life.
These greedy souls used the Pill and abortion to DECIMATE my Generation, a generation that could be DOUBLE the size it is. Instead these greedy fiends wiped out half of my cohort through their own inability to accept responsibility for their own actions.
I have scrambled and worked my tail off all my life, my parents were too busy being selfish and spending their incomes on their own pleasures while we kids ended up paying for our own college.
I despise the greedy boomers and I will heave a sigh of relief once they start dying at the rate they were born.

What are Baby Boomers doing that other generations did not do? We all planned for retirement. There is an actual exodus to FlA & Toms River. We are all exercising & trying to eat right They owe all their advantages to their parents, who by the way, did it all on their own.
