The Great Recession? Good As Over!

Ignore the preceding post. Newly inspired, Boomers are about to launch lucrative second or third careers, achieve unheard of savings rates and make the 2010s a decade for the economic record books.

Their inspiration? The new Star Trek film, an origin story that receives rave reviews from, among others, the NY Times and Washington Post.

The Post's Ann Hornaday:

The marketing campaign for the movie has suggested this is "not your dad's 'Star Trek.' " That's wrong -- no middle-aged Trekkie will be able to hold back tears when the Enterprise first comes into view.

Yes, reinvigorated by the myth they grew up with, Boomers will go where no generation has gone before. Some how, some way, and with a little help from their wealth managers, they will Live Long and Prosper.
