4.9/5 (25650 ratings)

Description:The good life came to a grinding, slow-motion halt.Quintessential Boomer Steve Meltzer was living the limo-licious life of a Mad Men-style ad agency Creative Director in Hong Kong. Great money, eye-popping travel, blue-chip clients. It was teak-paneled suites, top-shelf martinis and speaking gigs all over Asia. At his peak, he was Vice President, Brand-Building Partner, for marchFIRST (sic) Greater China, a rocket-hot, NASDAQ-dandy Internet professional services firm. His promised fast-lane next move—to London as Creative Director for Europe, Africa and the Middle East. When the firm’s U.S. network succumbed to self-inflicted hubris wounds, taking the thriving Asia operation down with all hands, Meltzer returned, jobless but with irons in the fire, to his D.C. hometown, with wife and two kids, healthy savings and the requisite Boomer optimism. The optimism didn’t pan out. The fire with the irons in it burned out. And the savings ran out. Meltzer tells his before, during and after story with wit, candor, brutal honesty and emails documenting his futile efforts to get back on the road, even if only in the slow lane. He ends up condemning The Way of the Boomer, capitalism and himself in equal measure. What happens when every family in your posh neighborhood (except yours) is going to ski in the Alps over Christmas, and then going to soak up some Caribbean sun? See the piece called Nevis Envy. What happens when a disappointed wife finally has had enough?Not My Scotch That’s On the Rocks looks into that.With email-bites, demographic data, essays, press clips, and guts-on-the-table soul searching, Meltzer gives us life in the crashed lane. Millions of Boomers are having to get used to it.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
