Hi,I am one of the Baby Boomers you speak of. After just 2 years in my network makintreg company I matched my income from my counseling business and was able to retire after all. I had been very stressed prior to this thinking I would never be able to stop working (as so many Boomers fear today). Network makintreg has changed my life and I have authored or co-authored 2 books about it License to Retire for Baby Boomers, and License to Dream for women of all ages. Today I travel, work with teams of people I choose, and love helping others on the road to financial freedom.
