Boomers Are Cutting Spending
October 27, 2009 on 3:21 pm | In Baby Boomers, Retirement Income | 1 CommentWhen baby boomers spend, America listens. The same holds true when they don’t. According to a recent Gallup Poll, baby boomers’ reported average daily spending has decreased to $64 from an average of $98 in 2008. And they’re not alone. All of five categories of adults (the “Greatest,” born before 1930, the “Silent,” born 1931-1945, “Boomers,” born 1945-1964, “Gen X,” born 1965-1979, and the “Millenials,” born 1980-1991) have reduced their spending. But the boomers are by far the biggest group, representing 36% of adults in America, so they have the biggest impact on the economy.
