How to win more games than anyone
At 70, Tara VanDerveer will soon be the most successful college basketball coach of all time. She believes in experimentation, asking for help, and the art of the controlled meltdown. Sometime in the next few weeks, when she wins her 1,203rd game, Tara VanDerveer at Stanford will pass Mike Krzyzewski at Duke as the college basketball coach — man or woman — with the most wins of all time.
The wealth transfer from baby boomers mostly benefits women
Financial advisers pivot to a new, growing customer base
This is no fleeting trend. Instead, it’s a sign of a seismic shift underway in the United States: Women are gaining more economic power. They start more businesses than their male counterparts. They earn as much or more than their husbands in 45 percent of heterosexual marriages. Among solo households, they own more homes. And by the end of this decade, a 2020 study by the business consulting firm McKinsey found, women are poised to control much of the $30 trillion in wealth expected to be possessed by baby boomers. To underline just how staggering a figure that is, the researchers note that it is close to the annual U.S. gross domestic product.
Don’t laugh: boomers still rule the world – for now
Despite our hilariously dated habits, more than half of businesses in the US are owned by people over 50.
It’s difficult to name a time in modern industrial society when four generations of workers share the same workplace: millennials, gen Z-ers, boomers and gen X-ers, all of whom have very different experiences and attitudes to life – and work. At work, I do the things that only boomers do, often infuriating those younger than me. I write notes in a notebook instead of a note-taking app and I keep a manual calendar. I make phone calls instead of sending emails. I leave my office and meet with clients and prospects face to face instead of online.
The most popular careers with each generation — boomers, millennials and Gen Z
In the evolving landscape of the workforce, each generation has its unique preferences and trends when it comes to career choices. From Baby Boomers to Millennials and now Gen Z, the priorities, values, and technological advancements have significantly influenced the popular career paths of each era. Let’s explore the most popular careers within these three distinct generations.
Did the pandemic save us from a retirement crisis?
Following the Great Financial Crisis, there was a worry the coming tsunami of retiring baby boomers was going to lead to a retirement crisis of epic proportions.Their portfolios were down bad. Housing prices had crashed. They didn’t save enough money. People were worried about Social Security. Everyone was predicting lower returns for financial assets going forward. There are far fewer pensions these days. Things looked bleak. While we haven’t quite solved the retirement equation for everyone, the picture looks much brighter today than it did back then.
