I agree that we'll see an increase in the number of seniors starting new businesses. As the average life-span increases, and health improves, we'll have a whole pack of 65+ 'retired' folks who are bored - and the ones with an entrepreneurial orientation will definitely start up new things.

What are your thoughts on seniors starting new businesses? I bet that's going to climb as well. This generation understands what Friedman, Goldwater and others were talking about when the discussed the free market. They, because of their numbers, have always commanded its respect. As they exhibit needs/wants, the market is going to rapidly adjust to accommodate, provided we can maintain <a href="http://clubforgrowth.org" rel="nofollow">economic freedom</a> here in the USA.

They have so much to contribute, so much knowledge and experience. I'm working with several entrepreneurs who are 'older' - Some are driven by need, some by desire, some by the new freedom of no more big financial responsibilities (e.g., the kids education) - Excellent point!!!!
