of the United States, it is important to look at the statistics in relation to the baby boomers—the 100 million people born between 1946 and 1964. This age classification has dominated consumer behavior discussions for the past two decades. assets and more than 50% of discretionary buying power. In terms of the retail industry , they are responsible for the majority of all consumer spending; they buy 77% of all prescription drugs sold, 61% of OTC medication; and this generation spends $500 million on vacations per year , making up 80% of all leisure travel.
