"I'd like to learn how much the savings rate is for boomers if their 401ks were included." And other investments. When the rules were changes in the early '80s, there was a tendency to move away from trsditional savings, i.e. banks and savings and loans, to other instruments. Why do you think the DOW went from about 1,000 to about 10,000 in a little over a decade? You still ignore genJones. If you want to use the "generations" paradigm, you have to include us. We aren't Boomers and we aren't GenX. We aren't the Silent Majority, who were our parents. We damn sure ain't the Boomers. We have been quiet because we have been trying to survive. Now most of us(but not me or my wife or others of our ilk, who are obsessive outliers) are at the point in their lives where they have established their trajectory but have never had the opportunity to be idealistic. Appeal to our inner-hippie or communalist? Been there, done that. Appeal to our inner cynic? Yeah, well, I thought that was done, but we went for Bush in record numbers. Why? Beats the heck out of me. We saw Nixon, Reagan and their ilk. Why my generation can't recognize politicians who lie to them is beyond me...
