Nation's First Baby Boomer Applies for Social Security

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The baby boomers' stampede for Social Security benefits has begun.

The nation's first 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 war generation.

Social Security Commissioner Michael Astrue called it "America's silver tsunami."

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, making her the first baby boomer -- a generation of nearly 80 million born from 1946 to 1964, Astrue said.

"She's leading the way for her generation," Astrue told reporters.

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.

She and her husband have since moved to the eastern shore of Maryland near the Chesapeake Bay.

"I think I'm just lucky to be at the top of the boom," she said.

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...(excerpt)

Now I'm not saying it is necessarily the case, but if this happens to be an example of one of those Islamic terrorist operations, you know, the guys who pack a van full of explosives and drive into a police roadblock, somebody might want to advise them that truth in advertising might not be the best way to preserve the element of surprise...



Over here in the Mission District, we're building our little consulting business drip by drop. The good news is your time is mostly your own.



The bad news is nobody pays you if you waste your time.



Remember when that obnoxious catch phrase was being used everywhere: Time is Money!



The guy got it bassackwards.

Money is Time! Time to goof off, have a life, see friends, do errands, walk the beach, take photos, email lots of folks, volunteer, and play with your kids and grandkids.
