I would like to know more about how other Boomers Women are saving, investing for the future etc. What about single Boomer Women?

Well I actually have two methods.

1) Have a wreck and break everything on your left side, then collect. Uh huh.

2) Find a man who is terminally ill, has no children or Ex hanging around, loves fluffy women and his Mother is dead. Okay, this one is still in the works.

What?

Oh alllllright. I have a 401K, a pension which I will start drawing next Feburary and my fingers are crossed for the lotto. Other than that...its back to #2. While #1 worked fine, I found out I'm allergic to pain.

I put all of my change and one dollar bills (that I haven't spent) in a glass jar. When it's full, I deposit it into a savings account. It adds up faster than you realize.

We have a Merril Lynch thingy (I'm really into this, don't even know what it's called!) and our creepy little investment guy takes care of it. He's a jerk but doing a good job for us. Don't tell him I said so though.

Call me strange, but I've stopped shopping for clothes or items for the house. Dust collectors. I'm really getting into this new phase. It feels wonderful. I'd rather sock the money away for my old age...which is rapidly approaching.

My husband and I have several IRA/401K accounts.

My personal suggestion is marry someone much younger than you, (like I did) and he'll continue to support you in your old age. [Smile]

I received some profit sharing from my almost previous employer, socked some away in a 401K and inherited some from my in-laws that is invested.

Even though I do financial work for others I am really not that interested in it either although I should be. Our financial planner said I could live to 85 and have money. But he is probably planning that I remain at my dcurrent salary and keep investing. NOT going to happen. But maybe I will get a pension from my next job who knows?

I keep my fingers crossed too.

I have always been taught by a very smart Grandmother "to pay yourself first." I have always tried to do that and at age 50 took the money and bought my house for cash. At least I know I'll have a roof over my head....

Married a man 7 years my junior but he turned out to be a mooch...so much for that plan....

Dieting cnstantly to approve my appearance to attract one of the men JJ talks about, old, unable too though willing, dead ex wife and no dam kids. Him I'll marry. Oh did I mention he would have to be loaded...Works for me. [Big Grin]
