Dear friends. There's a new narrative around retirement. It's no longer about putting your feet up and going on cruises, with a little babysitting and gardening.
Increasing amounts of research tells us that to stave off dementia we need to continue to exercise our brain as well as maintaining a good level of fitness to take us beyond the golden period of ages 60 to 72.
I've just read a new book, The Age Rebellion by Lydnsey Simpson. She describes the post-working years as our second act.
Simpson, the Global CEO of 55/Redefined, says there's no reason why we shouldn't start or own business or switch to an entirely different career as we get older. We may have decades in front of us if we set an arbitrary retirement date. Retirement is no longer the end point.
