Event: Embracing Your “Bonus Years” with Sage
Description: We’re living longer and the paradigm of aging is changing. The expectation in the 21st century is that people may live 20, 30 or more years past the “traditional” retirement age of 62 or 65. Middle age is now thought of as between ages 50-75 + years. Some people refer to this life stage as “the third stage of life,” as a “second adulthood,” “middlescence” or “the second half of life.” Whatever term we use, these can be exciting and fulfilling years of life. We'll learn about ways to maximize these “bonus years” as a time to learn, grow and evolve so that you can live your best life at whatever age you are.
