Don't retire-refire

I wonder what the median age is in this network? How many of us are over 60? Any thoughts about retirement?

I am in this group and been studying the convergence of longevity and technology on future generations including the baby boomers. Here are ten points to ponder- no matter what age you are right now.

  1. Longevity is about all of life. It starts at birth.
  2. It is changing and is not the same journey as our parents and grandparents enjoyed.
  3. How do you work for 40 years and save enough to live another 40- not possible.
  4. A long life beyond 60 needs a reason to get up daily.
  5. Why do we not teach compound interest at school in life skills?
  6. Why do most of us not plan or think enough about retirement until it is too late?
  7. Why do we throw away our old people and not see them as valuable?
  8. How do we change the mindset around a trend that has been there for more than 100 years?
  9. Do you value your intangible assets like networks, relationships and vitality as part of your asset collection?
  10. Working longer may be the best insurance policy for your future.

The world is changing. We need to think about these things. Do you?
