Blazing New Trails

Today, boomers are defined by a common life stage -- midlife -- that occupies an expanded period from their 40s to late 60s. Their experience of midlife is new because they can expect to live up to 20 years longer than past generations. Most look and act younger than their parents at this age. Think of Tom Cruise, Katie Couric, Cher, Goldie Hawn, and Oprah, all midlife boomers. Rather than preparing to check out, they are moving on to a second life. If boomers are fortunate enough, they will reach a life-peak their parents could only have dreamed of and that younger people envy.
They also face issues that previous generations have not often faced, such as caring for elderly parents, their adult children, and grand parenting all during difficult economic times. As they have with all life stages, boomers are pioneering this period. They have no roadmap, no examples to follow. They are looking for help.
During the ages of 45-64 many boomers are now finding their true passion and their purpose in life. As their lives continue to change and as they continue in the process of self- discovery, they are also finding that their housing needs are also changing. They are considering the needs for flex space that can change along with the needs of their families. They also want their homes to allow them to age in place so that they can stay in their homes as long as possible. Many want to have all of the living spaces on one floor. They also want to have large kitchens, open family rooms to allow for entertaining and all the wonderful amenities that they have grown accustomed.
