Highlights from the First Baby Boomer in 1996

The First Baby Boomers Turn Fifty:
A Del Webb Survey of Attitudes and Opinion of People Born in 1946

• Del Webb conducts its first-ever national Baby Boomer survey.
• Only 50-year-old Baby Boomers were surveyed.
• Boomers say they have been given more opportunities than previous generations, but they have been permissive and self-centered. They admit to not being as family focused as their parents.
• Two-thirds say they plan to work in retirement at least part time. Webb management comments that the Company is already seeing a small, but growing number of Sun City residents interested in working part time.
• 18 percent say they will move out of state when they retire.
• 69 percent say they will do volunteer work after retirement.
• 34 was the median age when most of the 50-year-old Boomers started saving for retirement.
