January 14, 2008—Evanston, Illinois—50+Digital LLC announced the launch of http://retirementrevised.com, a website focused on the information needs of the Baby Boom generation as it approaches retirement. The site is an interactive companion to Retire Smart, a weekly newspaper column written by Mark Miller that appears in more than 30 newspapers around the U.S. The column is syndicated by Tribune Media Services.

RetirementRevised.com will focus on careers, personal finance, health, travel and lifestyle topics, Miller said. “Study after study shows that Baby Boomers don’t intend to retire from work in the traditional sense,” said Miller. “That doesn’t mean they plan to stick with traditional full-time employment for the rest of their lives; many will, in fact, ‘retire’ from the full-time employment that characterized the first phase of their working lives. But more than three-quarters tell pollsters that they hope to create a fulfilling new blend of work and personal pursuits. Many will need a roadmap to help them figure out how to reach these goals.

“Boomers also will face challenges in managing their money, housing and healthcare. And, they’ll be looking for ways to enjoy more flexible schedules by traveling, spending time with family, returning to school, volunteering their time and pursuing countless other passions.”

Miller said http://retirementrevised.com will provide an opportunity for a two-way dialogue with readers of the newspaper column, and to get input from readers on future column topics. He also plans to use the website to provide links to deeper resource content and tools related to the column, additional articles and video segments.
