It’s official: 50 is the new 30!
Well maybe not quite... but we're certainly the luckiest generation that has ever lived.
Not only are we financially better off, we're also enjoying a far healthier lifestyle. Which means we've got many more active retirement years to look forward to than our predecessors ever had.
"I'm Esther Rantzen and I want to welcome you to FiftyForward, the exciting new website for those among us looking for great ideas, practical advice and support about the second - and some might say most rewarding - half of our lives. I hope you enjoy browsing this website and find it really valuable when you have to make decisions about your life, deal with problems or want to make your dreams come true."
Insuppressible optimist?
When the day finally comes to clock off for the last time, or to bid a fond farewell to our children as they fly the nest, we can find ourselves facing an unprecedented time of excitement, opportunity and optimism. The big question is, what are we going to do with it?
Or frightened fifty-something?
On the other hand, life post-50 can be extremely daunting. With our retirement years on the horizon and pensions in crisis, how are we going to maintain the lifestyle we have grown accustomed to? And what will we do to fill the spare hours each day, when we're footloose and fancy free? Not to mention health scares and the threat of redundancy, which are all-too-familiar issues as life marches on.
So how do you feel about the future?
Are you 50+ and fabulous? Or 50+ and fearful? Whichever you are, this is the site for you!
Packed with a whole host of exciting information and tools, the FiftyForward site has been developed for anyone over the age of fifty who is looking to evaluate their life and learn more about themselves.
We've included real-life stories, lifestyle articles, diagnostic tools and facts and tips, to help you explore key life themes like Work, Play, Money, Relationships and Change. Adding to the mix is our new Mentoring section, in association with pioneering e-mentoring website, horsesmouth.co.uk
