This is no April Fools.
Most middle boomers – the segment of baby boomers who are 52-58 years old right now –aren’t worried about outliving their retirement money. Only 12 percent say this a concern for them. They’re more concerned about
■Being able to afford health care (25%)
■Staying productive and useful (18%)
■Having to work full- or part-time (15%)
■Providing for your spouse’s/partner’s/own long-term care (13%)
■Outliving retirement money (12%)
■Having a comprehensive financial plan (9%)
■No concerns (8%)
As a middle boomer, I am more concerned with health care benefits. This is one of the reasons that my husband and I signed up for long term health care. I would like to meet the 8% who have no worries at all....

MY PROFILE
- Karla George Gustafson
- Granite Bay, California, United States
- People in our society are limited only by our failure to design. My passion became to incorporate the concept of universal design to accomodate the variations in human ability which is ordinary for all people. Design can be a powerful influence if done well to enhance the self worth and comfort of mankind. Simple changes can be made to improve the life of someone with dementia or other cognitive challoenges. With a degrees in Interior Design and Gerontology, I established my own design firm where we specialize in universal design. Other services my firm offers are consulting, training, and presentation speaking. As the owner of Ageless Designs, I hold the designation of a Certified Interior Designer with the State of California; Certified Aging in Place Specialist; Kitchen and Bath Design member of NKBA; Gerontologist and hold membership with the Universal Design Alliance, several Senior Associations and Gerontology Associations. In addition, I volunteer my time to serve as a Commission member on the Placer County Older Adult Advisory Committee
