The Silver Tsunami

Even though I try to do the whole “be in the moment” thing… I’m really ready for winter to be over. Luckily, there are already tiny signs of nature waking up, and I’m so happy to see hints of green again!

Speaking of colors (how’s that for a segue?) this month I want to look at what is called “the silver tsunami”. Aside from being a potentially amazing name for some dad-rock cover band, it is also a phrase used when talking about our rapidly aging population. The truth is, we do have a lot headed our way. As the baby boomer generation (love you guys) ages, we will face significant strain to our current healthcare systems.

In this newsletter we will take a look at the pros and cons of the situation. Talking about it now is going to help us a lot in how we meet all of these demands in the future.

Keep scrolling for my book, podcast, artwork, and song of March. This month’s comic at the very end will probably feel particularly relatable to many.
