			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>We found this article on the colombian news site <a href="http://www.economiaynegocios.cl/noticias/noticias.asp?id=34717" title="News Site from Colombia about the Baby Boomers impact on the mexican economy.">Economía y Negocios Online</a>.  An important international banking and financial institution (BBVA Bancomer) executive stated that one million american retirees already live in Mexico.  The information was generated in Mexico, that&#8217;s why its center on the impact that Baby Boomers make in the mexican economy.</p>
<p>In a nutshell, american retirees spending a good chunk of their annual 75 grand income in residences, luxury items and investment, including expensive second homes in Baja California (both North and South) and Sonora.</p>
<p>An estimated 3 out every 4 of these expats prefer the countryside and easy living, and the total one million accounts for 25% of the americans living out of their homeland, but the number is expected to grow -or explode- in the coming years, as the 76 million people from Baby Boomer generation will retire, giving the world a young, healthy and active crowd that will have the opportunity to spoil itself and their descendants.</p>
<p>The article presents several pieces of statistical information worthy of awe, and provoke a lot of questions.</p>
<p>Mine is: What is the mexican economy going to do to serve a population that is not ready to go without a boom.</p>
<p><span id="more-6"></span></p>
<p><span class="style1"><strong>Baby Boomers, una oportunidad para el mercado inmobiliario en México</strong></span> <strong><span class="destacados2"><br />
</span></strong><span class="destacados2">Martes, 09 de Octubre de 2007</span><br />
<span class="destacados2">El Universal, México, GDA</span><br />
<strong><br />
<span class="destacados2"></span></strong><span class="destacados2"></span><span class="vfresultsSize2"><strong>Durante la presentación del informe Situación Inmobiliaria en México, el economista en jefe para México de BBVA-Bancomer, Adolfo Albo, precisó que en dicho país ya se establecieron un millón de estadounidenses en retiro.</strong></span></p>
<p class="destacados2">CIUDAD DE MÉXICO.- México se ha convertido en el principal destino de retiro para los estadounidenses de edad adulta conocidos como Baby Boomers, población que sumará hacia 2030 más de 76 millones de personas de 65 años o más en Estados Unidos, lo que representa una oportunidad para el sector inmobiliario mexicano.</p>
<p>Durante la presentación del informe &#8220;Situación Inmobiliaria en México&#8221;, el economista en jefe para México de BBVA-Bancomer, Adolfo Albo, precisó que en nuestro país ya se establecieron un millón de estadounidenses en retiro.</p>
<p>Explicó que esa cifra equivale a 25% de los estadounidenses de ese sector fuera de su país, quienes además representan un atractivo nicho para las industrias de la construcción, vivienda y servicios.</p>
<p>Destacó que los jubilados estadounidenses &#8220;tienen un elevado nivel de ingreso, de US$75 mil, superior al promedio americano, que es de US$45 mil; mejor educación, mayor esperanza de vida, de 85 años; y tienen preferencia por bienes raíces&#8221;.</p>
<p>Asimismo, agregó que &#8220;una segunda oleada&#8221; de jubilados hacia México se presentará en 2030, pero esta vez serán migrantes mexicanos que regresarán tras su retiro laboral, principalmente en Zacatecas y Michoacán. &#8220;del total de migrantes mexicanos, 15% optará por regresar al país&#8221;.</p>
<p>Por ello, detalló, el sector privado y el gobierno mexicano tienen el reto de ofrecer infraestructura, servicios de salud y financieros, así como recreación en los desarrollos inmobiliarios; lo que a su vez significa generación de empleos.</p>
<p>Por su parte, el economista en Mercados Inmobiliarios de BBVA- Bancomer, Leonardo González Tejeda, dijo que hay un sobreprecio en los inmuebles que adquieren los estadounidenses, quienes pagan hasta tres millones de dólares por un departamento. El valor promedio de la segunda residencia de los estadounidenses es de US$200 mil.</p>
<p>Indicó que 75% de los jubilados de Estados Unidos eligen pueblos o zonas rurales de México, 38% opta por residencia para ancianos y 12% prefieren las ciudades.</p>
<p>Mencionó que la inmigración desde Estados Unidos hacia México comenzó en los 90, pero &#8220;la ola&#8221; de jubilados creció a partir de 2000, con un crecimiento de 5.9% en el lustro 2000-2005.</p>
<p>Comentó que Baja California Sur aumentó 21% el flujo de los visitantes, mientras que en Baja California fue de 14.4%, y Sonora ocho por ciento, incluso, abundó, lugares como Los Cabos, Puerto Peñasco y Bahía de Banderas registraron tasas de expansión de 40 a 60%.</p>
<p>De acuerdo con el estudio &#8220;Situación Inmobiliaria en México&#8221;, entre 2000 y 2005 se establecieron anualmente cerca de 50 mil inmigrantes originarios de Estados Unidos, que equivale a 15% de la población de este país que ingreso al grupo de edad adulta (mayores de 65 años) .</p>
<p>Aclaró que los Baby Boomers o la generación nacida entre 1946 y 1964 representan uno de cada tres adultos en Estados Unidos y será el grupo de población de mayor crecimiento en las próximas dos décadas.</p>
<p>&#8220;La población que se incorpora al grupo de 65 años y más se incrementa, y lo hará a un ritmo mayor en las décadas de 2010 y 2020: de 200 mil personas que se agregarán a la población de 65 años en 2000, hacia 2025 llegarán anualmente a 1.8 millones&#8221;.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<div class='snap_preview'><br /><p>Monday, a second boom started.  Kathleen Casey-Kirschling applied for social security benefits.Now, the really big news for us lies in the tiny detail that she is the first baby-boomer to ever do that.  We are in for the big game now.  At age 61, healthy, furnished with a long career as a teacher, savings and, now, social security benefits, Casey-Kirschling will have a whole lot of years to travel, do, go, spend and pamper grandchildren.The impact that baby-boomers will have on the american and global economy is expected to play in the multi-billion dollar ballpark.  Great news for the leisure, sports, health and adventure tourism industries, as well as real estate in the U.S. and exotic places like the Sea of Cortes, Riviera Maya and colonial cities in Mexico.Because of this, the 2BAlive conference and expo by AMAR (the Mexican Association for Retirement Assistance) coming up in May &#8216;08 can be a business opportunity for those with their eyes open.The complete story by the New York Times is here:<span id="more-4"></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;font-size:12px;line-height:normal;"><br />
<h1><strong><font size="6" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:24pt;">First Boomer Applies for Social Security</span></font></strong></h1>
<p></span>
<p class="byline" style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">By STEPHEN OHLEMACHER – <span class="date">1 day ago</span></span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">WASHINGTON (AP) — The baby boomers&#8217; stampede for Social Security benefits has begun.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">The nation&#8217;s &#8220;first&#8221; baby boomer, a retired teacher from New Jersey, applied for Social Security benefits Monday, signaling the start of an expected avalanche of applications from the post World War II generation.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue called it &#8220;America&#8217;s silver tsunami.&#8221;</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Kathleen Casey-Kirschling applied for benefits over the Internet at an event hosted by Astrue. Casey-Kirschling was born one second after midnight on Jan. 1, 1946, gaining her recognition as the first baby boomer — a generation of nearly 80 million born from 1946 to 1964, Astrue said.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">&#8220;She&#8217;s leading the way for her generation,&#8221; Astrue told reporters.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Casey-Kirschling will be eligible for benefits after she turns 62 next year. She said she taught seventh graders for 14 years at a school near Camden, N.J., before retiring and volunteering for the Red Cross in Gulf Coast areas hit by Hurricane Katrina.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">She and her husband have since moved to the eastern shore of Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">&#8220;I think I&#8217;m just lucky to be at the top of the boom,&#8221; she said.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">An estimated 10,000 people a day will become eligible for Social Security benefits over the next two decades, Astrue said. The Social Security trust fund, if left alone, is projected to go broke in 2041.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">But Astrue said he is optimistic that Congress will address the issue, perhaps after the 2008 presidential election. President Bush had proposed changes in Social Security to create private accounts, but the proposal went nowhere in Congress.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Last week, Bush&#8217;s budget director called the growth in Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid a &#8220;fiscal train wreck.&#8221; The three entitlement programs make up nearly half of all federal spending, a share that is expected to grow.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">A report issued last month by the Treasury Department said that some combination of benefit cuts and tax increases will need to be considered to permanently fix the Social Security shortfall. But White House officials stressed that Bush remains opposed to raising taxes.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Astrue acknowledged the political difficulties of addressing the issue, but said there is still time.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">&#8220;There&#8217;s no totally politically easy choice,&#8221; Astrue said. &#8220;I&#8217;m not pushing any one answer.&#8221;</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">Casey-Kirschling said her generation won&#8217;t let Social Security fail.</span></font></p>
<p style="margin-right:0;margin-left:0;font-size:12pt;font-family:Times New Roman;"><font size="3" face="Times New Roman"><span style="font-size:12pt;">&#8220;I think the baby boomers will want to get this fixed,&#8221; she said. &#8220;They&#8217;re going to want to take care of their children and their grandchildren.&#8221;</span></font></p>
