When one refers to baby boomers, does it include ’54-65′ or not?
I’ve seen references that it includes the “Generation Jones” but others specifically not…
Just curious because it seems like early BB (those born during 40′) are seemingly fairly ok even in this economic climate (at least the ones that I occasionally bump into).
I’m just curious if the shift from avid saver to reckless spender was a gradual shift that happened during the later part closer to the sixties….

My references to Baby Boomers include those born between 1946 and 1964. As mentioned above, the oldest Boomers are the best off; however I know a few of them who were significantly affected by the recent downturn in the housing and stock markets. They are not worth nearly as much as they thought they were. They are not happy about it.
