Publisher's Synopsis
Peter Levitan has scheduled his own death. Peter believed that after working 35 years he had set up a smart retirement plan. After the housing collapse, the financial meltdown and the continuation of an unstable economy, he realized that there were just too many variables out of his control to make any plan a guarantee. This book is about how Peter takes back control by eliminating one of the biggest uncertainties in future financial planning; his own life expectancy. Boomercide: From Woodstock to Suicide chronicles this Baby Boomer's need for personal control over his future and his resulting decision to use suicide as a financial planning tool. His research reveals that he is not alone. Baby Boomers haven't saved nearly enough and have the highest suicide rates in the U.S. and that rate is dramatically on the rise. Boomercide: From Woodstock to Suicide examines the concept of rational suicide, the act of suicide itself, religious and moral views about suicide, and Peter's very personal decision to schedule his own death, complete with his family's reaction. Rational suicide as a solution... what do you think?
