Adele Horin

Adele Horin was a journalist with the Sydney Morning Herald for nearly two decades. She reported on a range of social issues, from child care to aged care, and wrote a weekly column. She then wrote a blog called Coming of Age about baby boomers. She tackled subjects as diverse as the love/hate relationship with her Seniors Card, sibling rivalry over elderly parents and their money, suing nursing homes, and how not to dress like an invisible woman. As a baby boomer she lived through most of the subjects she’s written about, including when to cut your adult children off the financial drip. Her blog can be found at http://adelehorin.com.au/
