Doris, looks like you and I found the same article! Just as an update for everyone, I dove deeper into the opportunities for taking surveys to make money. I signed up for Focus Point Global (www.focusgroup.com). They do not have an office in our area, but perhaps additional online surveys may become available. the other company "Delve" seems to have been taken over by Focus Point as their web page defaults to Focus Point. This information may save someone from wasting a bit of time.
This happens to Lisa and me, too. Sometimes our timing is just a bit off. Good work, Annette, on delving into Delve and Focus Point Global. Glad to see you here, too.
Great infograph on the declining caregiver support ratio as baby boomers age into the high-risk years of 80+ starting in 2030 and beyond. It will decline from the current 7 to one--seven potential caregivers for every 80+ person to 4 to 1 in 2030, and 3-1 in 2050.
