Ten Percent of Baby Boomers Dead

Oct. 5, 2010 - PRLog -- America's largest generation recently reached a morbid milestone. Ten percent of the Baby Boomer generation is now dead according to www.boomerdeathcounter.com.  The website which has a live counter has passed the 10% mark says that 7.7 million of Baby Boomers are dead.

James Love, a Baby Boomer himself, created the website in order to mark the passing of his generation but also to get Boomers thinking about death. "Whether religious or not, the reality is that the 'Me" generation is not going to be around forever. People at some point need to think about what kind of legacy they will leave behind when they die."

"Baby Boomers like to shake things up. So keeping to that tradition, I've intentionally made the site as morbid as possible. I've got the death counter, but also information on Baby Boomers who've died." says Love.

The site also indicates that for Baby Boomers the main causes of death are accident, heart issues, cancer (combined) and suicide.  "This reflects common deaths for pre-retirement populations. In time, heart disease and cancer will certainly be the top causes of death."

James Love says that boomer should not cash in their 401's or other retirement investments yet. "The cup is still mostly full with 77 million boomers still alive."
