Top 5 Baby Boomer or Senior Retirement Books

Updated May, 2012

Retirement in our present economy is a topic that concerns many seniors and baby boomers. The top book in May 2012 is "I Am Taking Control: Healthy Aging and Financial Security for Baby Boomers".

Some have planned well and will retire well, others have planned well, but things have changed and don't look as bright as they used to, and some don't know how to plan at all and need guidance.

I have chosen the top titles on the topic written within the past few years as things have changed dramatically in that time.

Is it too late? I hope not, and hope these retirement books for baby boomers aka seniors will help us.

Top 5 Books on Baby Boomer Seniors and Sex

Updated May 2012

Sex in the senior years or as one title states "Sex in the Golden Years", can be as beautiful as we make it. So much emphasis is put on sex being like it was when we were younger, how nice it would be if we could just relax and enjoy the sex we have with the man or woman we love, whether in a new marriage relationship or one that has lasted for many years.

These books on sex in the senior years may not line up with my way of thinking all the time, but they are the top 5 available right now on the topic of sex and the baby boomer senior.
