Hello, my friends. I’m Frank, and it’s great to meet you. Thank you for visiting EverythingBoomers.com

Our mission is to share valuable and relevant information dealing with the health,happiness and security of our generation.  

It’s estimated that there were seventy-six million, yes, 76,000,000 plus, of us born between the years 1946 and 1964 in the United States. Those demographics represent significant numbers in the Financial, Healthcare, Real Estate, Travel, and Entertainment industries. If I recall correctly, for over 20 years, we’ve been targeted, for lack of a better word, by these industries and their advertisements.

As of 2024, all boomers will be at least 60 years old. Over half have turned 65, have Social Security accounts, and are on Medicare for healthcare. 

 Many over 65 are still working, many have retired, and some have relocated. We’ve experienced health issues; some are and have been caregivers, and many of us have lost both parents and lifelong friends.

Twenty years ago, we were talking about what would happen, and now, 20 years later, we’re talking about what is happening.

We all know how important money is, and polls indicate that financial concerns are paramount for Boomers. So we will use our website BoomersFinancial.com as a source to guide you to professional financial advisors and retirement planners.

EverythingBoomers.com will concentrate on health and wellness and our family and friends will focus on our personal and social issues of growing older.  

Please let me introduce myself. I am Frank Pirkel, born in 1948 in the great State of Iowa. After graduating in 1966, I enlisted and served two years in the United States Marine Corps.

I’ve maintained an active Insurance license since 1971, and have owned and operated three Independent Agencies, one in Iowa and two in California. I retired from my last Agency in 2017 after 30 years. I will honestly admit that I miss it dearly.  

I’ve had a blessed life having a daughter and son, three grandchildren, and two great-grandchildren. At 76  I feel like I still need to be engaged with society and so here I am.

Now, I’m neither a professional writer nor a journalist,  however, I am someone who at times has looked to the future.

Twenty years ago, the Baby Boomer thing certainly seemed like it was going to be a big deal. You didn’t have to be Nostradamus to figure that out. I purchased a bunch of Boomer domain names, thinking someday they might be useful.

I initially had a plan for the website but decided to focus on my insurance business and save the domains for later. It was a good decision.

Over the years, I’ve had the good fortune to meet and insure thousands of people, many of whom I’d consider friends. I learned early in my career that I received great satisfaction and gratitude in helping and servicing other people’s needs.

I’m hoping to take that same spirit of service forward in writing and directing this blog and website.

Frank
