#37: Baby Boomers
The last entry on this list is just a short reminder of why Baby Boomers are such an influential generation. It’s not just because there are so many of them – they actually have a huge proportion of the country’s entire wealth, so maybe we should try to respect them a little more!
After all, many of them will be pretty old in a few years, and they might need to go to nursing homes. According to some stats, there are about 1,246,079 residents in American nursing homes currently. By 2050, this figure will increase to 30 million – that’s a lot of boomers!
