It’s been said many times, “we are not our
parents’ grandparents.” Style, relevance, and most of all, ATTITUDE, define the
current older generation – which is setting a Rock & Roll precedent for the

retirement … OK, fewer than you might think … prepared for those once-called Golden
Years. Even in a perfect scenario, it’s a daunting time as our lifestyles, minds
and bodies undergo intense alterations. Add the Great Recession and it’s been
pure, tarnished hell.
