We live in turbulent times, and this week our bloggers attempt to deal with the confusion and commotion. Whether looking after our financial affairs, attempting to de-stress, or becoming immersed in a lifestyle TV series, we move on day by day. I spent the past few days binge-watching a new Netflix series, The Residence, about a murder in the White House. I found it well done and entertaining.
Take a look at what our boomers are doing.
Americans are increasingly at risk of losing their money to fraud and scams as the Trump administration and Congress move to cripple federal fraud regulators, says Rita R. Robison, consumer and personal finance journalist. That means it’s now open season on consumers. See Robison’s article for details.
Many of us are feeling more than a little disequilibrium as we attempt to cope with the stress of these difficult times. Carol Cassara says she’s no different, but over on her blog, she offers a short daily practice she says has been a tremendous help in maintaining her peace of mind–not to mention her sanity.
Rebecca Olkowski, with BabyBoomster.com, got a note from a reader when her newsletter came out that she wanted to unsubscribe because the world was in turmoil and the content on the site was too shallow. Fair enough. However, Rebecca feels similar to the reader, so she wondered if she should use her blog to rant on. She does it this once to let readers know where she stands.
Entire cottage industries have sprung up in recent years dedicated to the bashing of Meghan Markle, actress and wife of Britain’s Prince Harry. So, when her latest lifestyle show entitled “With Love, Meghan” appeared on Netflix, Laurie was prepared to roll her eyes with the rest of them. But then something strange happened.
Thank you for taking the time to stop by the Boomers. We love to hear from our readers, so please take a moment to comment. And everyone have a good week. Don’t forget to take time to de-stress, binge-watch a light-hearted TV show, or enjoy coffee with friends.
