Description
What happens to America when Baby Boomers stop spending the way they used to?
For decades, Baby Boomers helped drive the American consumer economy. They bought homes, cars, furniture, appliances, raised families, invested for retirement and accumulated decades of possessions and assets.
But now the generation born between 1946 and 1964 is entering a very different stage of life.
Instead of accumulating, millions are beginning to simplify. Spending priorities are changing. Homes that haven't changed hands for decades will eventually return to the market. Possessions will be sold, donated or passed down. And trillions of dollars in accumulated assets will eventually move between generations.
This Professor Blackwood documentary explores what the aging of the Baby Boomer generation could mean for consumer spending, housing, retirement, inheritance, businesses and the generations that follow.
The real question isn't whether Baby Boomers suddenly stop spending.
It's what happens when they stop spending like 45-year-olds?
📘 THE BABY BOOMER MONEY BLUEPRINT
I created a practical 40-page workbook for Baby Boomers who want to take a closer look at the money, home, possessions and assets they've spent decades building.
Inside you'll examine recurring expenses, the true cost of your home, possessions, important financial information, future priorities and the decisions that may be easier to make now rather than 10 years from now
.
You spent 40 years building your life. Now decide what happens to everything you built.

If you're a Baby Boomer, tell me in the comments: What do you spend LESS money on today than you did 10 or 20 years ago?
