| FH Boom Daily Digest – July 19, 2010 Posted: 19 Jul 2010 05:34 AM PDT Top News From Today's "Boomiverse" Creating Safer and Kinder Districts to Grow Old Overview: "The Department of City Planning predicts that in 20 years, New York's shares of schoolchildren and older people will be about the same, 15 percent each, a sharp change from 1950, when schoolchildren outnumbered older residents by more than 2 to 1. By 2030, the number of New Yorkers age 65 and over — a result of the baby boomers, diminished fertility and increasing longevity — is expected to reach 1.35 million, up 44 percent from 2000." Dad Made Me Do It: Boomer Parents Pressure Kids to Sign Prenups Overview: "Prenup-touting boomers are motivated at least in part by their own experiences and those of friends and family, said Barry Finkel, a family law attorney specializing in prenuptial agreements in Fort Lauderdale, Florida." Safety nets for elderly are focus of forum here Overview: "By 2030, about 72 million Americans will be 65 or older — roughly twice the number in 2000, according to estimates by the National Institute on Aging. While there has been plenty of attention to how this coming tidal wave of seniors will strain Medicaid, aging specialists and health care advocates are also beginning to address the "forgotten population" — those who may have enough assets to pay for some health care services but not the cost of a long-term nursing home." |
