Tom Sightings is a baby boomer, part of the pig-in-a-python demographic group that has brought so many changes to America – and will continue to do so until they cash their last Social Security check.

     Sightings had a typical baby boomer career. He graduated from college, went to business school, worked for several companies, then in his mid-50s was unceremoniously laid off. Meanwhile he got divorced, and his two kids left for college. Now he lives with his significant other, Bee, who has two children of her own. They live in the New York area, a convenient stopover for their four peripatetic 20-somethings.

     He writes for U. S. News Retirement. He also produces the blog Sightings Over Sixty which covers health, finance, retirement -- and all the concerns of people who realize that somehow they have grown up.
