Baby-Boomers come to be Super-Boomers As They Head Off To Greener Pastures

Baby-boomers nearing resignation in the next 15 years, are questioning either there's not a smarter way to live. Just working longer or harder gets old; and it makes us feel old. Maybe it's time to re-group; or is it re-think. And a lot of us are excited about production a turn -- a big lifestyle change; something more fascinating than downsizing and 2nd jobs at Safeway to pay for curative benefits and the tiresome high-cost of living.

Would I, personally, be finding abroad were it not for all the incentives to do so? If I could live in the States and afford to do as much traveling as I wanted, would I still be getting 'sandy sandals'? Well, yes, I would -- because it's the adventure and the interaction with other cultures that keeps me young.

I will perhaps all the time have a home base in the States -- cause that's where the grandkids are. But I can't deny the logic of living abroad at least part of the year just because it just makes so much sense health-wise to "follow the sun" in the Winter. The key word here is 'choice'. And by 'choice' I don't mean which Rv parking lot to live in. What I mean is, I don't want to be a grandparent setting an example of living a 'settled for' lifestyle either in a castle or a tent (although none of those choices are necessarily boring).

My head's been turned by the capability of the habitancy conveniently living abroad. Just last week Eileen Dunn, past Director of Women's Programs at Green River College in Washington State, and presently living in South Korea, said, "I'm finding at Panama or Ecuador as two important countries for resignation with lots of incentives for retirees."

For that reason, I see a wave of baby-boomers taking a fresh look at the lifestyles of expats -- the communities, the curative services, the expat and location demographics -- the sun and the beach. I predict that soon you're going to see a wave of American retirees that used to head off to Arizona, Texas, California, or South Florida -- heading instead added South and over the border.

"Well, you know it's fascinating that you say that," agreed Martin Frankel, founder of expat-connection.com, "because I've been telling my parents for 4-5 months, that I think the next big wave of expats to move to Argentina are going to be retirees from the U.S.

Frankel left an menagerial occupation about a year and a half ago, as Marketing boss for FedEx in New York, and moved to Argentina. He's quite happy there and prides himself on creating the only Argentine expat group to actively break down the barriers that exist between local and expat communities.

Frankel also negotiated group guarnatee rates with a important Argentine guarnatee provider to facilitate expats' capability to enjoy capability and total health care at highly fascinating rates!

That's what leaders do -- they lead by example and make decisions that advantage others as well as themselves. Those are the expats you want to get to know, as they can give the habitancy who effect in their paths a 'leg up' on a fresh start. And I'm proud to have them as contributing members to Traveling4Health.
