THREE STAGES OF THE THIRD AGE
Discovery: (65 – 74): These are the doing years: you travel, eat out, spend more time on hobbies and interests, perhaps stay in work or return to study. Many retirees are busier than they ever were.
Endeavour (75 – 84): Spending slows down, travel becomes more of a hassle and you think about downsizing your house. Sometimes your body is telling you to slow down and life tends to settle into a more gentle routine. Many still pursue hobbies and travel, but at a slower pace.
Reflection (85 +): Spending often goes up, this time for health and well-being. You spend more time at home as age curbs ability. Life continues at a more gentle, sedate pace.
AFTERWORD: Remember: you’re never too old to live!
