Retiring Baby Boomers - Home Based Business to Supplement Retirement Income

Viola Bontrager

 

With 80 million retiring baby boomers, and most of them needing a way to supplement retirement income, plus the fact that 75% are planning to travel in the next few years, the home business travel industry is fixing to explode!

Born between 1946 and 1964, they changed American business at each stage of their development. Diaper services, Barbie dolls, Rolling Stone magazine, relaxed-fit jeans and SUVs - all were created in response to boomers' needs.

Now it's the travel industry that will be affected. Carnival Cruise lines is building more flag ships in the next two years than they had built in the previous twelve years, in anticipation of the boomers.

Boomers consider travel a necessity, not a luxury. This is good news for the industry on two counts. First, the sheer number of boomers traveling will cause business to grow. Second, since travel is a necessity, boomers engage in it no matter how scarce their time or money..

Unlike their Depression-era parents, boomers grew up in times of plenty. As a result, boomers don't wait to take the trips they want. If they don't have the money, they just use plastic. They want to go - NOW. Remember, it was the boomers that invented the question , "Are we there yet?"

When boomers travel, they want to do it right. They still look for a bargain, but a bargain to them means "getting a good price on something of great value."

Baby boomers today are between 35 and 53 years of age. They are in their peak earning years, and the oldest of them are retiring and have reached the prime age for travel. However, an ever growing number of boomers are looking for ways to supplement retirement income.

With over 100 million users on the internet and with the retiring baby boomers spending hours on the net daily, it is only a matter of time until they will revolutionize the way home based business is done on the internet, just as they changed fast food, toy cars, real estate and now retirement , home based business and the travel industry.

The idea of sitting back and relaxing at 65 is absurd to them. Having worked hard all their lives to get to a life of retirement, independence and no longer having to punch a time clock - they will go to whatever measures they need to, in order to HAVE that life they dreamed of.

For many of the retiring baby boomers, getting started in a home based business will help maintain the lifestyle they are looking for and create that supplemental income, and in many cases create that much needed income and independence.
