AARP report disputes 'boomer myths'

These 'myths' are nothing new. I and others have been 'busting' them for years in books, blogs, etc. In fact, most of this 'mythbusting' was done by AARP in 2006 - and is being recycled. Regarding the gullible Mr. Gordinier - I'm reminded of a quote from Albert Brooks: Recently I have been embarrassed to be part of this generation. The reason? Madison Avenue. Madison Avenue is never wrong. They’re the neighbor across the street that sees you in the way you don’t see yourself. They’re young, they’re cocky, and what they say about the older generation becomes the truth. People still think there was a real Mr. Whipple, so I know whatever Madison Avenue says about us is what everyone’s going to believe anyway. Please explain to Mr. Gordinier that there was no Mr. Whipple.
