The Baby Boom Generation

There are 78 million of them in the United States alone - the "Baby Boom Generation." They're not ready to retire just yet even though the first wave turned 60 on January 1 (2006). This January, the first to turn 62 will get to start taking early Social Security payments. Maryland's experts have baby boomers covered from every angle and are available for comment - feel free to contact them directly.
