| FH Boom Daily Digest – April 28, 2010 Posted: 28 Apr 2010 05:09 AM PDT Top News From Today's "Boomiverse" Senior Care a Major Economic Player Overview: "The effort to rein in galloping health care costs — which no less a figure than Warren Buffett has described as "a tapeworm eating at our economic body" — is rarely mentioned in the same sentence with job creation. In fact, most policymakers probably assume the two goals are on a collision course." How to age-proof your career Overview: "At a company golf outing a few years ago, Michael Levine tried to rattle his 24-year-old colleague as he was about to putt by stealing a line from the 1980 movie "Caddyshack:" "Noonan!" he yelled, just as the caddies in the film did to disrupt a character on the green.

Now may be time to consider active adult communities Overview: "Seniors are living longer and healthier lives, and that is changing the face of retirement housing.
