My boomer parents - who are currently watching their not-insignificant savings vanish down the Dow memory hole - have many boomer friends who are just now thinking it might be time to set aside a little for retirement. It's unreal. They lived through the most stable, prosperous time in American history, probably world history, and they have NOTHING to show for it.

Nothing to show for it except the highest credit card debt to net worth ratio in history. Realistically, retirement won't be an option for most of our parents, even with social security. I hope Wal-Mart stays prosperous, because there will be a lot of folks looking for jobs as greeters.
