"The graying of America will transform politics, retirement systems, health care, welfare, labor markets, banking and the stock market."

Forbes
"The top one-third of the boomers will have lots of retirement choices, the bottom one-third will be working until they drop, just to keep food on the table and the middle one third's destiny is still being defined."

CNN
"Unlike any other time in our nation's history, unless there are dramatic policy shifts, in terms of absolute numbers, baby-boomer women, most particularly minority women, will find their elder years to be a 'never ending' struggle."

Dow Jones
"Life expectancy is going to grow significantly, and current policies are going to be proven totally inadequate."

ABC World News
"Baby boomers and younger generations have been all but programmed to spend and consume rather than save money for their futures. But given the nation's economic squeeze, they should think about shrinking both they spending and debt if they want a worry free retirement and lifestyle."
USA Today
"People should heed the Aesop fable of the carefree grasshopper, who plays all day, and the ant, who plans for hard times ahead, when it comes to preparing for their retirements. The problem is that our country still has a lot of grasshoppers running around."

Harvard University Bulletin
"Global aging will affect us all. For example, Europe, which is losing population, and Japan, which has the oldest average female population, have instituted entitlement policies that are difficult to sustain. This will impact the United States."

Wall Street Journal
"Today, elder financial abuse is where domestic abuse was about ten years ago. Investigations and prosecutions and convictions of domestic abuse five years ago were few and far between."
