Over at The Huffington Post, Arianna's giddy take on life and politics, blogger Ann Handley takes a look at some Boomer numbers.

Handley's post -- 10 Curious Things About Baby Boomers -- mulls over whether Boomers are optimistic or delusional (although we ask, why not both!).

Handley is described as "the Chief Content Officer of MarketingProfs, heading up content at MarketingProfs and acting as the Primary Caregiver of the MarketingProfs Daily Fix, a Top 25 Marketing Blog."

Sifting through the numbers of a MediaMark Research survey, she discovers that "Almost 4 in 10 Boomers say they think they and their household will be better off financially one year from now. Moreover, close to 90 percent say they think they themselves will be financially "better off" or "the same" one year from now."

The survey concludes that we also vote, play the lottery, sign petitions and exercise.

And: "We stuff our garages with cars and our newly remodeled houses with giant screen TVs. But, interestingly, many of us have no medical insurance."

So what do you think: are we relying too much on our good generational karma?
