Congratulations - You've Made It This Far In Life...

Think how much you have learned.

We don’t subscribe to the theory of slowing down. We are certainly faced with a lot of changes, but that can just mean devoting more of your time to the things you want to do, rather than the things you have to do. There’s an exciting world out there and you’ve got the experience, energy and opportunity to get out and enjoy it. Obviously you need to balance your wish list with your available funds.

This is stage 1 of our web site and we cover some of the important areas you should consider as you move towards some form of part or full time retirement.

There’s a lot more to come. We will be bringing you information on subjects like:

retaining your looks, life coaching, finding your new home, grandparenting, travel,
losing a partner, bargain offers and lots more.

Issues

There are a number of issues and challenges that most people will be faced with as they go through their 50s and 60s.

Employment is at last starting to register on the political radar. For people over 50 who still want to work, it’s not easy to find something that suits your experience and qualifications. We will be promoting the cause of mature age employment and using this web site to encourage politicians and business people to do more about it than just talk. Following is an article on this issue and there will be plenty more to come.

Another major issue, which receives very little discussion, is Relationships. A good relationship is central to most baby boomers’ successful retirement. It would surprise many people to learn that there is a relatively high rate of divorce amongst people in their 60s, who have been married for 30+ years. This tends to follow the husband’s retirement when for the first time in their entire married life they are living together 24/7. This often puts a severe strain on the relationship and the results can be disastrous. There is a “Relationships” category in our web site and we will provide both information and connections to trained people who can offer advice and assistance.

Finding a new partner can be a real challenge. One of the major downsides of being in this transitional stage of life is that it’s not uncommon to find yourself alone. Not because of a divorce, but as the result of the death of a partner. After the grieving period, the remaining partner often decides that life is a gift best shared and attempts to find another person to share his/her life. If you’ve been out of the dating game for 20 – 30 years, it’s quite a shock getting back into it. One things for sure – the lines you used in your 20s and 30s don’t work nearly as well today!

The good news is that there are a lot of interesting and attractive single people in their 40s, 50s & 60s who are looking for a permanent relationship. We will be talking about finding love and enjoying a good sex life and offering some practical suggestions.

We hope that our site can help you enjoy this interesting part of your life and we welcome your feedback and suggestions.
