Our past has shaped us. Post-career now, we are excited about taking that forward, enjoying and getting the most from the years ahead. Active lifestyles, exploring, creating, and contributing along the way. Looking forward and living life to the full. Distilling and applying the true life lessons that matter. Substance over trivia. Integrity over expediency. And sharing reflections here.

Golden Years activity

Possibilities limited only by our imagination

A few reasons why the post-career years can be so great:

  • for example, in 2022 in the US, age 55+ represented only about 30% of the total population, but owned about 68% of the total wealth. Both those percentages are continuing to increase over time.
  • leading to longer life expectancy, better health, more physical activity and consumer affluence in the golden years.
  • freedom to choose how to spend time, the single resource of which we all possess the same amount, and money can’t buy more.
  • accessible technology as an aid for searching for products and services, recreation, networking, lifelong learning, business startups, etc.
  • life and work experience, networks of business contacts, friends and associates.
  • the highest rate of entrepreneurial activity and success in the US is among the 55 to 64 age group.

Some of the broad areas I will blog about…

Physically Active

We interact rather a lot with people of the Golden Years age group in this space. Being physically active is hugely important and the positive impact on people is clearly evident. One of the pillar elements in this blog.

Mentally Active

‘Healthy mind in a healthy body’ being the central credo. Maintaining, and enhancing, cognitive acuity is just as important as physical activity to overall quality of life. This will also be a central theme here.

Health, Fitness

When one reaches the realisation that ‘stuff’ is just that, and the same 24 hours per day exists for all, a key underpinning to it all is Health. Strong evidence points to appropriate fitness levels going hand in hand with that. Fertile ground for blogging here.

Travel

I’m just so nostalgic the Concorde era has passed. But I did have one flight from NY to London back in the day. Breathtaking, afterburner takeoff and up to Mach 2.0 at 57,000ft! That’s 1,400mph! Travel is so accessible now though, more to expand our experiences of interesting places than riding a jet hotrod. Let’s see how we can build that into the big picture here!

Accessible technology

Engaging in the digital transformation that is currently moving through society is key to participation in all the benefits available to our Golden Years tribe! Too much to offer a meaningful summary in this short note – make sure to follow the blog for more on this.
