Sandy Mall is a baby boomer. He can remember the days of idealistic fury, of wanting to change the world and make it a better place. Mall is trying to do just that. Ironically, he’s committed himself to helping out the very people “his generation” often thought were part of the problem. Now at 54, he’ll tell you he’s not the bad guy, but one of the good guys. “We are living longer. Longevity brings a variety of different financial and legal planning challenges. I want to do my part to make sure baby boomers make the right choices to insure their quality of life,” says Mall.

How does he do it?  Well, Sandy is the founder and senior partner of Mall Malisow & Cooney, PC, the Holistic ElderCare & Estate Planning law firm in Farmington Hills, Michigan. Simply put, he’s an estate planning and eldercare attorney, focused on providing legal services to people 50 and up ---- services including eldercare law, wills and trusts, estate planning, durable powers of attorney, medical powers of attorney, special needs law and guardianships and conservatorships.

If you have questions about these and other baby boomer related topics, visit Mall’s “Ask the Attorney” forum at http://asktheattorney.experienceseniorpower.com/. It’s free!

Are you one of those baby boomers whose VCR light is still blinking? I mean, do you still have a VCR? If you do, I’ll take the gamble and bet you’re 50 or older. Have you ever spoken with someone in their 20’s, 30’s or 40’s (though those of us in this highly evolved 40 age bracket bridge the 8-track tape, the VCR and DVD) about their entertainment centers? If you have, you’re well aware that the VCR is not in the ballpark. In fact, if you’ve even uttered the letters V-C-R, you’re opening yourself up to a wise crack like, “Hey, old man, did you know that Paul McCartney was in a group called the Beatles, before Wings?” Not good for the baby boomer, ageless ego.

So, if you have any VCR-oriented questions, not to mention questions about computers and the Internet, save yourself from the ridicule of the kids. I’ve got a safe place for you to go where your questions will be answered for free without a hint of hostility. Visit Ask The Tech at: http://askthetech.experienceseniorpower.com. Marc Funaro, president of Advantex LLC (www.advantex.net), a web development company, and self described “computer geek” will answer your questions --- and he’ll be friendly about it.

Boomers and Nutrition

OK, so baby boomers get the bum wrap of wanting to cheat mortality, as if that’s a bad thing! Well, I’m no nutritionist, but recently the Vemma Nutrition Program joined our online baby boomer community at www.experienceseniorpower.com. Vemma bills itself as an all-in-one "juice product and a vitamin/mineral supplement." It maintains it will “…kick your health and energy levels into overdrive.”

This is from Vemma’s website:

Vemma unites the antioxidant-rich power of mangosteen — a fruit used for centuries by Asian health practitioners for its nutritional benefits — with rich plant-source minerals, organic glyconutrient-rich aloe vera and decaffeinated organic green tea along with a full spectrum of antioxidant vitamins to create the most powerful liquid antioxidant nutrition program anywhere.
