As baby boomers approach retirement, the tradition of retiring at age 65 is changing, according to a Merrill Lynch Affluent Insights Survey released today. New retirees will also be dealing with more complex investment and health care considerations. The survey, conducted by Braun Research, polled 1,000 U.S. residents age 18 and older with more than $250,000 in investable assets.
Whistleblowers earned a record $532 million in 2011 through private-party lawsuits alleging fraud committed against the U.S. government, according to a study published last Friday by the law firm Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher. The record amount was $140 million more than whistleblowers recovered in 2010. Filed under the False Claims Act, the cases enabled the Department of Justice (DOJ) to recover $2.8 billion of $3.02 billion that the government recovered in 2011.
Baby boomers are more obese as compared to other generations, according to a new Associated Press-LifeGoesStrong.com poll. And those who aren’t obese need to do more to stay fit, or face ill health into their senior years, the survey found. Though most boomers say they get some aerobic exercise at least once a week, only about a quarter of them get the recommended 2 ½ hours a week of moderate aerobic workouts.
