In many ways I am a quintessential baby boom woman &hellip; I graduated from college, went to work,invested in more education (MBA), got married, continued to work, had three children, continued to work outside the home, invested in even more education (Ph.D.). I then turned to small business (like 9+ million other American women), jumped onto the dot.com roller coaster for three years developing and promoting online financial literacy learning tools for women. So, who am I? I am an economic sociologist very interested in helping women develop healthy economic lives. <br /> <br /> So&hellip;I decided to start writing online about what I know personally and from my work and research. My blog is <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.womensmoney.com/blog">Dr Nancy: what I tell my kids about ...</a> My first book, When Baby Boom Women Retire (Praeger,1998), was dedicated to identifying what retirement will look like for baby boom women. It received the 1998 Outstanding Academic Book of the Year Choice Award from the Academic Librarians Association. My research wasn&rsquo;t real encouraging for women. It showed that fewer than 20% of baby boom women will achieve financial security as they move toward senior status. Ten years later, the situation has not changed, has even gotten a bit worse. That's why it is critical for women to learn about personal economics, not just financial planning. Life decisions we make determines our financial security, not just what's in our savings accounts.&nbsp; <br />
