When it comes to cell phones, "Off The Grid" bought one primarily for safety purposes, but otherwise think they're way too complicated. As far as these country couples are concerned, their landline phone has always served them well and they see no reason to replace it. |
22 | Plugged-In Parents | "Plugged-In Parents" are middle-aged married couples challenged with raising children in a 24/7 digital world. With kids who log hours of internet activity each week, these busy healthcare techs and fire fighters closely monitor their online activities. Although they think the internet is a good thing, in a world where trolling and cyber bullying are on the rise, these parents worry about too much technology. Not to mention that they don't want to see their kids posting excessive private information about their lives online, which they think too many people do nowadays. However, these moms and dads are all in when it comes to getting homework help using search engines like Ask.com or watching last night's game highlights on NBA.com or even playing games on social media. When some offline family time's in order, "Plugged-In Parents" unplug with a day of coasters and funnel cakes at the local theme park. |
23 | Bundled in the Burbs | Like most of the families living in the newly constructed neighborhoods that are the hallmark of upper middle class suburbia, "Bundled in the Burbs" are diehard devotees of the digital services and devices that help them through their busy day. Look into the windows of these homes and you'll find mom watching the Food Network on her tablet as she prepares dinner, while dad catches the game on ESPN and the kids post selfies to Instagram and tweet funny memes. To ensure everyone can simultaneously enjoy their favorite digital pastime, these families rely on bundled packages from Verizon FiOS and AT&T U-verse to provide them with high-speed internet, premium cable television complete with DVR and digital home phone service. "Bundled in the Burbs" also enjoy bundled smartphone services courtesy of a family wireless plan that lets them call, text, stream and socialize near or far from their bundled retreats. |
24 | Digitally Remastered | With their enviable incomes, "Digitally Remastered" families enjoy a lavish suburban lifestyle complete with luxury cars, exotic foreign travel and of course, the latest digital accoutrements. PCs and laptops are so yesterday for the children of these doctors, lawyers and financial analysts, who instead use their iPads to post, tweet and stream YouTube videos. When mom and dad want to access their beloved wsj.com or invite a colleague to join their LinkedIn network, they use their E-readers. Mom and dad also enjoy the most recent release of their smartphone, despite not knowing how to use all its features--they can always ask their kids for help, since they too got upgrades. In addition to their devices, "Digitally Remastered" upgraded their shopping experience by taking it online where they can buy whatever their hearts desire and have it delivered straight to their door. Spending in excess of $800 annually, these 'active quality seekers' buy everything from housewares and apparel to plane tickets for their next trip abroad. |
25 | Small Town Satellites | "Small Town Satellites" love the easy going pace life in the country offers, but living in rural America isn't without its complications--especially when it comes to their digital connections. Thanks to their sweet satellite dish though, these families can connect to all their favorite cyber destinations including NASCAR, NBCNews and Yahoo! Movies regardless of their rural surroundings. Since these home-based business owners and installation repair specialists have some debt, they also enjoy searching for deals on sites like Coupons.com and Overstock.com. In fact, as 'active quality seekers,' these folks read reviews and compare prices across multiple websites before making an online purchase. In addition to shopping and surfing, "Small Town Satellites" are social gamers who visit social networking sites such as YouTube when they're in the mood for a little friendly competition. |
26 | High Speed Homes | With a teen who's a gamer and another who blogs, a mom who cybershops till she drops and an app-happy dad, "High Speed Homes" have almost as much traffic as the city streets outside their urban homes. Like many contemporary families, going online is a favorite pastime for these urbanites, who use E-readers, iPads and even their television to connect to their favorite medium. Night and day, these homes hum with an endless stream of digital activity that includes everything from networking with colleagues on LinkedIn to researching homework assignments on About.com to posting videos to Instagram. Not ones for being tied down, "High Speed Homes" like the convenience of using one mobile device for everything. And since streaming is among their favorite activities, these families expect the quality of video on their phones to equal that on their TVs. |
27 | Digital Dinosaurs | Downloads and hashtags and texts oh my! "Digital Dinosaurs" are single suburban seniors who refuse to succumb to the charms of digital technology. The internet has little impact on the lives of these retirees who'd much rather spend their time puttering in the garden and participating in collector's clubs. When they do venture online (courtesy of a dial-up modem) it's typically to play a game on social media or to check their email on AOL Mail. These folks have even less love for cell phones, which they think are way too complicated. In fact, 14 percent of "Digital Dinosaurs" threw in the towel and don't even own a cell phone. Those that do own one have it only for emergencies, since they use their landline phones almost exclusively to make and receive calls. |
28 | Cell Conscious | Single without any children at home, "Cell Conscious" are urban seniors struggling to navigate the wonderful world of wireless. Retired from careers in social science and the arts, this largely female set thinks cell phones are just too complicated these days. Although there are some features on their phones they would like to use, they don't know how and are reluctant to learn. In fact, more than half of these women can be characterized as either 'mobile minimalists' or 'mobile if I must'. While 'mobile minimalists' consider their cell phones to be an efficient replacement for their landline phones, they have no interest in using them for anything other than making and receiving calls. 'Mobile if I must' meanwhile prefer the simplicity of their landline phones and have cell phones primarily for safety. Then there's the 18 percent of "Cell Conscious" who don't even own a cell phone and *gasp* really don't want one. |
29 | Social Lites | Single without any children at home, "Social Lites" are suburban retirees living largely offline lives. If asked, these seniors would tell you the internet has little impact on their lives. As far as they're concerned, newspapers keep them informed, TV entertains them and radio relaxes them. Why in heaven's name would they want to go online? Certainly not to join the throngs of people putting too much private information about their lives on sites like Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. Despite their distaste for pinning, blogging and posting however, "Social Lites" do enjoy getting social, especially if it involves watching the game on TV with some friends or comparing notes with fellow connoisseurs at collector's club gatherings. |
30 | Unplugged | Single with no children left at home, "Unplugged" enjoy a peaceful existence free from the digital distractions that seem to dominate the lives of almost everyone else. For decades, these folks worked at jobs in production, installation and farming. Now retired, and largely widowed, these seniors enjoy more relaxing pursuits like watching their favorite TV shows or leisurely perusing the newspaper with their morning coffee. The internet however has little impact on their lives, since few of them consider going online to be relaxing or enjoyable. Why do they need Facebook friends or Twitter followers? They've been social for years thanks to their trusty landlines, which lets them chat with friends close to home, as well as those faraway courtesy of their domestic long distance calling plan. From where they're sitting, people already put too much private information about their lives on the internet without them adding to it. Furthermore, nearly a quarter of "Unplugged" also find cell phones unnecessary. Those that do own one got it primarily for safety purposes and don't intend on using it otherwise, since cell phones are just too complicated these days. |
31 | Retirement Reboot | Free from the responsibilities of hectic careers and full-time parenting, "Retirement Reboot" couples are enjoying every minute of their 2.0 lifestyle. In V1.0 these lawyers, doctors and financial analysts used the internet as a tool for marketing, research or interoffice communication. Nowadays though, it's their all-access pass to shopping and entertainment excitement. Using their high-speed fiber optic connections, these carefree couples look up show times on sites like PBS.com, manage their enviable investment portfolios or make travel plans--most recently for the European vacation they're taking in the fall. Preferring to spend time socializing as opposed to social networking, these twosomes have little interest in Facebook friends or a Pinterest posse. On the rare occasion they use social networking it's probably to find local information or catch up on the day's headlines. "Retirement Reboot" have the same nonchalant attitude about their cell phones. Although most of them own one, they much prefer their landline, which remains blessedly free from the confusing array of features that riddle their cell phones. |
32 | Dreaming of Analog | "Dreaming of Analog" are married couples living out their golden years in suburban comfort thanks to the retirement real estate they invested in a few years back. For the most part, the internet has little impact on these retirees with the possible exception of managing their financial portfolios. Although they enjoy a healthy fixed income, these couples tend to be 'active quality seekers' who read product reviews and compare prices across multiple websites prior to making purchases, which in their case often exceed $800 annually. As for social networking, these couples think people put too much private information about their lives online and have little interest in doing the same by creating their own Facebook or Instagram profile. "Dreaming of Analog" do own cell phones, but much prefer their landline phones for making and receiving calls. Not to mention they find cell phones to be a bit annoying, especially in the hands of people who carry on loud conversations in public places! |
33 | Timed Out | Retired from jobs in production and social services, "Timed Out" now enjoy quiet lives in modest suburban neighborhoods. The internet has little impact on the lives of these couples who'd much rather spend their free time watching TV or reading the newspaper. Not surprisingly, these folks never got around to replacing their dial-up modem, since it's fine as paint for visiting AOL, NASCAR.com and playing the occasional game on social media. With family living not so close to home any longer, "Timed Out" frequently make domestic long distance calls to stay in touch. Despite having cell phones, these couples overwhelming prefer the simplicity of their landline phones, which don't require a degree in rocket science to operate! |
34 | Digital Detours | "Digital Detours" are senior couples whose children have recently returned to the nest. To help support their larger households, these nearly or newly retired men and women have recently launch home-based businesses. The internet has helped them grow their business, in addition to providing them with a main source of entertainment. Dad enjoys seeing how his fave drivers are faring on NASCAR.com, while mom enjoys looking for deals on Coupons.com--products she's also been known to review on social media once she's had a chance to try them. Their son begins each day checking the latest job postings on CareerBuilder.com and the grandkids just love watching videos and gaming. "Digital Detours" have similarly varying behaviors when it comes to their cell phones. The grandkids are obsessed with them and are constantly texting their friends. Conversely, their grandparents prefer the simplicity of their landlines for making and receiving calls and avoid texting altogether since typing messages is real hassle. |
35 | Digital Distractions | Located in the sleepy suburbs that dot the outskirts of mid-size cities, "Digital Distractions" are blue collar families living a modest, no frills lifestyle. These folks work hard as installation technicians, production specialists and construction workers, so when they're off the clock they want to relax. The internet is a main source of entertainment for these families who frequent sites such as CBS, eHow and Fandango where they watch full episodes of their favorite TV programs, view trailers of upcoming movie and access DIY home & garden projects. They're also fond of the home & garden hacks they find on Pinterest. More than anything though, "Digital Distractions" love playing games. Whether they're downloading video games or participating in live gaming events, these folks are always up for some friendly competition. |
Cluster Code | Cluster Name | Cluster Description |
M1 | Modern Millennials | Idealistic, patriotic, team-oriented. These are just some of the characteristics that define the generation that came of age in post-9/11 America. Like many of their peers, "Modern Millennials" understood at a very young age that they live in an unsafe world. Not surprisingly, many of them sought to make a difference by pursuing careers in law enforcement and the armed forces. Below average incomes haven't deterred these singles from purchasing new furnishings for their starter homes, leasing a 'like new' compact car or hitting the hot new club for a night of dancing with friends. Having never lived without computers, "Modern Millennials" are most comfortable in a digital environment and get all of their information and most of their socialization from the internet. So when this group wants to unwind, they're likely whipping up that chili recipe they just saw on Pinterest or updating their Instagram feed while listening to the new album they recently downloaded from iTunes. |
M2 | Mature Millennials | As the seniors of their generation, "Mature Millennials" have conquered college, landed a job and found a place to call home. Hit hard by the Great Recession of the late 2000s, this group delayed marriage and children in favor of establishing themselves. They still aren't earning as much as they'd like, but it's enough to pay for utilities, food & beverages, personal care and rental insurance. Having grown up in a digital environment, "Mature Millennials" view the world as 24/7 place where fast and immediate processing reigns supreme. As such, these men and women live online. Simply put, if it isn't discussed in a blog, debated in a forum, endorsed with a like, memorialized with a selfie or posted on their feed, it probably isn't worth their time. |
X1 | X in the City | Representing the younger side of Generation X, "X in the City" are independent singletons living life on their own terms in the big city. Like most of their Gen X peers, this group's loyalty to themselves far outweighs their loyalty to any one organization. As such, you can bet this group of healthcare support professionals have probably had two to three different employers at this stage of their career--and they'll probably have three to four more before they retire. Their below average incomes limit their spending to basic expenses including utilities, food & beverages, rental insurance, healthcare, retail purchases and personal care. Unlike their Boomer parents, "X in the City" relish their time outside the office, which may involve grabbing a beer or two with friends or updating their Facebook page while relaxing to the new album they just bought. |
X2 | maXed Mommies | Like many of their Gen X peers, "maXed Mommies" were late to marry and quick to divorce. Now single parents, these moms are working double time as full-time moms with full-time jobs. As healthcare support professionals, material movers and maintenance workers, this group works hard for their below average incomes. The bulk of their spending centers around necessities such as utilities, food & beverages, personal care and healthcare. They've likely also bought new toys for the kids and a new outfit for themselves recently. Unlike their Baby Boomer parents, "maXed Mommies" embrace their time away from work when they can relax with a favorite magazine, catch up with their kids over lunch at a nearby fast food restaurant or get together with girlfriends for a night of dancing. |
X3 | X-Y-Z Families | "X-Y-Z Families" are married Gen X couples enjoying an active suburban lifestyle with their Y and Z children. Growing up with Baby Boomer parents whose excessive work schedules often left them on their own, these Gen X parents strive for a healthy balance between work and family. As such, these successful lawyers, doctors, sales professionals and engineers are also successful homework advisors, amateur coaches and part-time chauffeurs. As above average earners, these parents shower their kids with top-of-the-line sports/recreation equipment, fashion-forward apparel, new toys and season passes to the local theme park. Like most 21st century families, "X-Y-Z Families" are rarely off the grid. These Gen X moms and dads are clueless when it comes to the latest social media phenomenon (Facebook continues to rock their world), but are totally engaged when it comes to their smartphones. |
X4 | Gen X Execs | Representing the senior side of Gen X, "Gen X Execs" are success-oriented singles living life on their own terms. As is typical for their generation, this group is highly educated which they parlayed into lucrative careers as doctors, lawyers and business executives. Unlike their Boomer parents, these fiercely independent professionals lack organizational loyalty and will readily jump ship if a better opportunity comes their way. Outside the office, these fun loving singles enjoy gambling, cooking and catching up with friends over a beer or two. Like most of their peers, "Gen X Execs" rely on the internet to pay their bills, shop for bargains, access the latest news, meet new people and pretty much everything in between. |
X5 | Great Xpectations | Trending on the older side of Gen X, "Great Xpectations" are single parents striving to create a comfortable life for themselves and their kids in sunny suburbia. As dedicated administrative professionals, this group pulls down average salaries, which they spend on transportation, groceries, toys for the kids and clothes for themselves. They've also probably treated the kids to a day at the theme park followed by burgers and fries at their fave fast food restaurant. Like most of their Gen X peers, "Great Xpectations" can remember life before the digital revolution. What they can't remember is how they managed to get through the day without their smartphone, the internet and their Facebook feed! |
X6 | X's and O's | "X's and O's" are married Gen X couples living the suburban dream complete with 2 kids and the family dog. Raised by Baby Boomer parents whose work schedules often cut into family time, these parents are determined to do a better job of balancing work with family. Not surprisingly, many of these mom and dads started home-based businesses, which offered them the flexibility to work around their kid's schedules. Financially, these families can afford to splurge on brand name sports/recreation equipment, trendy toys and household appliances that cut chore time in half (at least that's what the infomercial claimed). "X's and O's" also recently treated themselves to a top-of-the-line refrigerator, which quickly became the envy of all their neighbors. Although they occasionally turn to their kids for help, these Gen X parents are digi-capable...especially when it comes to the internet. |
B1 | Junior Boomers | For the most part, "Junior Boomers" trend younger along the Baby Boomer spectrum. They are unlikely to be married and even less likely to have kids. Rather, as is typical for their generation, these workaholics are devoted to their careers in law enforcement, sales, administration and the armed forces. As average earners, their spending is fairly mundane, except when it comes transportation where fiscal responsibility takes a backseat to conspicuous consumption. This group lives in small town suburban settings where the climate doesn't always behave, in average homes built sometime between 1990-2005. Although they aren't planning to retire anytime soon, "Junior Boomers" are preparing now by investing in stocks, mutual funds and retirement savings plans. |
B2 | Boomers Without Babies | "Boomers Without Babies" are middle-aged married couples who opted for career over kids. With advanced degrees and equally matched ambitions, these power couples have carved out successful careers in dynamic fields including the arts, social services, social sciences and the law. Like many of their Boomer peers, these couples are materialistic, but with above average salaries they can afford to indulge on upscale townhomes, visits to high-end salons and frequent retail therapy sessions. These former yuppies have also managed to accumulate a tidy net worth with investments in stocks, mutual funds and real estate. As is typical for their generation, "Boomers Without Babies" are hesitant to take too much time off work. When they do manage to tear themselves away, it probably entails a luxury getaway to an exotic foreign locale. |
B3 | Fringe Boomers | Teetering on the edge of Gen X, "Fringe Boomers" are living the American Dream in the large suburbs that comprise our nation's urban fringe. As typical members of the first generation to raise their children in dual-income homes, these Boomer parents both enjoy successful careers in finance, sales, healthcare and management. As above average earners, these couples can afford the latest apparel, upscale homes, high-end educations for their kids and personal insurance. They've also been known to splurge on fine jewelry and foreign travel. And with teens on the verge of college, regular deposits into college savings plans are a must. As with most Baby Boomers, "Fringe Boomers" desire to make a difference, which for them means volunteering for a local charity and contributing to worthwhile causes. |
B4 | Blue Collar Boomers | Single without children at home, "Blue Collar Boomers" are closing in on retirement from their jobs in material moving, healthcare support, maintenance and fire prevention. With below average salaries, this group's household spending focuses on basics such as utilities, food & beverages, personal care and their preferred tobacco product. Being the senior statesmen of their generation, "Blue Collar Boomers" have likely taken a prescription remedy for an ailment or a vitamin to support their overall health. As members of the first TV generation, these folks continue to enjoy watching their favorite shows when they get some downtime. |
B5 | Transitional Boomers | Representing the senior side of the Baby Boom generation, "Transitional Boomers" are gradually moving into the next phase of their lives. Take retirement for instance. Although they've reached an appropriate age, this group isn't quite ready for full-time retirement. They are after all, members of the generation that defined their worth through work. Not surprisingly, many of these men and women chose a more flexible path to retirement through home-based business ownership. In addition to providing an outlet for their highly developed work ethic, the extra income helps offset unexpected household expenses. With teens still at home, "Transitional Boomers" are still footing the bill for new clothes, books, weekly grocery bills in excess of $150 and frequent dinners at family restaurants. |
B6 | Red, White and Boom | "Red, White and Boom" are married Baby Boomers living ordinary average lives in America's heartland. As teens they marched for peace, fought for Civil Rights and said Y-E-S to the E-R-A. As adults they settled down, raised families, bought homes and worked long hours as farmers, production specialists and construction workers. With the kids out of the house and retirement knocking at the door, these couples are using their newfound free-time to try new things like planting that vegetable garden they've always wanted or exploring the countryside on the ATVs they recently purchased. While "Red, White and Boom" may never live in the lap of luxury, their average household income supports their modest expenses including healthcare deductibles, food & beverages, tobacco and payments on their full-size pick-ups and standard cars. |
B7 | Bucolic Boomers | Married with children, "Bucolic Boomers" love the slow and easy pace of their small town life. As part of the first generation to raise their children in dual-income homes, both dad and mom hold down jobs outside the home in the fields of healthcare, law enforcement and installation. As you would expect with kids at home, a fair share of their income is devoted to groceries, which often exceed $150 per week. They also spend quite a bit on their multiple vehicles, including his and hers motorcycles, the family van and the compact pick-up the kids share. For fun, "Bucolic Boomers" make the most of their country surroundings with a day of off-roading on their ATVs. |
S1 | Sole Silents | Single without children at home, "Sole Silents" are enjoying a quiet retirement in sunny southern suburbs. As part of a generation that valued saving over spending, these former lawyers, law clerks and legal secretaries accumulated a respectable net worth over the years, including the retirement real estate they now call home. Yes, their income is limited, but so is their spending with medical insurance premiums, retail purchases and renter's insurance topping their list of expenses. Like many other Silents, these retirees are avid readers and take great pleasure in reading their local newspaper cover-to-cover. They're also fond of puttering in their gardens and tuning into their favorite shows on TV. Unlike their children and grandchildren (possibly even great grandchildren), "Sole Silents" aren't prone to cell phone separation anxiety. In fact, they're still rather attached to their landlines, which they use to make local and domestic long distance calls. |
S2 | Silent Sets | "Silent Sets" are married empty nesters representing the younger side of the Silent generation. Like many of their contemporaries, these Silents retired in style with a healthy net worth and a household income most non-retirees would envy. Free from restrictive budgets, these twosomes enjoy indulging in cruise vacations, gambling at their local casino and spending long weekends at the lake cabin they bought to celebrate their retirement. As is the case for most Silents, these men and women are avid readers and relaxing with their local newspaper is a favorite pastime. And while they may own a cell phone, "Silent Sets" favor their landlines, especially when making long distance calls to the grandkids. |
S3 | Sunsetting Silents | Representing the senior side of the Silent generation, "Sunsetting Silents" are living out their golden years in the peaceful surroundings of small-town suburbia. Once married, these longtime empty nesters are flying solo nowadays since losing their spouse of many years. Like most women from their generation, this predominantly female segment formerly spent their days caring for the children and taking care of the home while their husbands pursued careers in healthcare, sales and administration. Now retired, this group enjoys more leisurely pursuits such as participating in collector's clubs and watching their favorite shows on television. They also enjoy reading their local newspaper, which is typical for most Silents. And now that the kids have scattered, you can bet these retirees make frequent long distance calls to catch up with their loved ones. Like most people their age, "Sunsetting Silents" devote much of their fixed income to healthcare expenses, including medical insurance premiums and prescription medications. |

With fledgling careers in the culinary arts, social services and computers, many of these ambitious millennials plan to change jobs in the next year in order to maximize their earning and growth potential. After hours are spent with friends dancing at the local club, sharing a beer or two at a favorite joint or relaxing with their significant other over a new recipe they discovered on Pinterest.

For one, many of these women plan to get engaged in the near future, so when they're off the clock from their day jobs in healthcare support and social services, they'll be flipping through their favorite magazines for chic wedding ideas and new outfits for the showers their friends are sure to throw them. Those not planning a wedding are planning to become a parent again in the next year. Although this isn't their first rodeo, decorating the nursery and baby proofing takes a fair amount of planning, for which they spend a fair amount of time online searching for style ideas and baby bargains. Whether they're getting married or having a baby, "Mama Mia" can all agree that buying their first house is definitely in their future plans and they have probably purchased a household appliance recently in preparation for their new digs. |
MY3 | School Daze | From soccer games and science fairs to SATs and prom, "School Daze" are married couples whose schedules revolve around the comings and going of their toddlers, tweens and teens. Representing the younger end of this segment are the new parents who are looking forward to buying their first home in the next year that will accommodate their growing family.

With jobs in maintenance, construction and material moving, this largely female segment earns just enough to cover their basic household expenses including the $150+ per week they spend on groceries, their monthly utility bills and personal care expenses. For months they've also been saving what they could to help offset come of the expenses their child will incur when they get married later in the year. Many of these women plan to collect a lump sum IRA sometime in the next year, part of which they will use as the down payment on their very first house-something they've been dreaming of their whole lives. Although "Middle-Aged Blues" doesn't get a lot of free time, when they do manage some they enjoy relaxing to some tunes on heir favorite radio station or, if their feeling daring, a night of dancing at the local club. |
MO3 | Second Honeymooners | Now that the kids have moved out and started families of their own, "Second Honeymooners" are rediscovering life as a twosome. Weekends once devoted to teams sports and dance recitals are now spent working in the garden and exploring the countryside on their ATVs. These couples have also been making some home improvements, converting what was once Johnny's bedroom into a media room, complete with two new recliners and flat screen TV. With jobs in farming and construction, these couples have accumulated a comfortable net worth, which includes some real estate where they plan to build a weekend getaway to enjoy in their retirement. As much as "Second Honeymooners" enjoy having the house all to themselves again, they are longing to hear the pitter patter of little feet once more...with the arrival of their first grandchild in the next few months! |
MO4 | Tweens and Teens | Now playing in a suburban neighborhood near you, "Tweens and Teens" stars middle-aged married couples fearlessly braving the roller coaster ride otherwise know as…the teenage years. With children ranging between the ages of 11 and 18, these parents practically live in their vans and mid-size SUVs driving kids to and from school, soccer, swimming...the grocery store, where they drop at least $150 every week. Thankfully, being home-based business owners has provided these moms and dads with fairly flexible schedules. The money's not bad either. In fact, dad just bought mom those diamond earrings she's had her eye on. Although "Tweens and Teens" have some debt, they still can afford to rent a car for a weekend getaway to a nearby resort for some quality family time...something that won't be as easy to come when their oldest heads off to college in the fall. |
SR1 | Me Time | With plans to retire in the next year, "Me Time" is looking forward to some well deserved R&R and having the time to explore new interests and activities. Having spent the better part of their lives focused on careers in healthcare support and social services, this largely female segment intends to spend their days cultivating a garden that will make them the envy of their suburban neighborhood. These women also plan on taking a more active roles in their collector's club, a hobby they've always enjoyed but didn't always have time to pursue. "Me Time" will also begin collecting from their 401k in the next year, which will considerably reduce their household income. However, with limited household expenses including healthcare, utilities, food & beverages and personal care, they will mange just fine. They will however splurge on retail purchases for their first grandchild, who's scheduled to arrive any day now. |
SR2 | Swingin' Silvers | Forget the rocker! "Swingin' Silvers" are making the most of their retirement years. Once successful salespeople, healthcare professionals and social servants, these married couples now enjoy more leisurely pursuits like casual dinners at their favorite family restaurant, followed by a night of gambling at one of the local casinos. Having accumulated a comfortable net worth that includes some stocks, mutual funds and real estate holdings, these couples have been able to maintain a decent retirement income, which easily supports their retail purchases, healthcare expenses, reading materials and other miscellaneous purchases. At their age, these men and women count on vitamins and supplements to help support their active lifestyle, as well as the occasional prescription remedy as needed. Lacking any desire to visit their local mall, "Swingin' Silvers" are enthusiastic mail order buyers. Their latest purchases include new clothes for the cruise they're taking in the fall and of course baby gifts for the grandchild they're expecting next month. |
SR3 | College Crunch Time | With their youngest headed to college in the fall and their oldest graduating from college in the spring, "College Crunch Time" families are earning an advanced degree in the joys of higher education. Although many of these moms and dads officially retired, the home-based business they launched to help augment their income until they can begin collecting on their 401k later in the year keeps them quite busy. It also provides them with the necessary fund to accommodate a household of four, including the $150 per week they spend on groceries and the new tires they just put on mom's domestic car and their youngest's compact pick-up. Although "College Crunch Time" is always on the go, when they are able to get together as a family they enjoy off-roading excitement on their ATVs or a backyard barbecue where the family dog can usually count on more than a few tasty table scraps. |
