There’s a revolution coming with younger Baby Boomers and older Gen X-ers determined to do things their way.
What that means for today’s active over 50s is the subject of a fascinating presentation by popular Australian social commentator and demographer, Bernard Salt at the Over-50s Lifestyle Forum presented by GemLife on 19 September.
He calls these The Lifestyle Years.
“The kids have left home – finally!” he said. “The mortgage has been paid off or ‘the end’ is in sight, both partners are ‘working’ and there just seems to be less pressure on the household budget. Plus, there’s the realisation that ‘life’s too short’ and that it’s now or never to do what you’ve always wanted to do.”
He says with a lot of those economic pressures easing, many people begin to take stock and think about the next stage of their lives.
GemLife is proud to present the Over-50s Lifestyle Forum which focuses on the topics that resonate with today’s active older Australians.
This special free event, taking place at Sandstone Point Hotel on Tuesday, 19 September, features expert speakers in the areas of social trends, health and nutrition, downsizing and lifestyle resorts, sex and relationships.
The forum also features presentations from dietitian Carly Barlow, author, columnist and retirement expert Rebecca Wilson and clinical sexologist Naomi Hutchings.
Bernard said he is looking forward to GemLife’s Over-50s Lifestyle Forum.
“Do not miss my session,” he said. “This generation of retirees and lifestylers are going where no generation has gone before. And it leads to a longer, better, more fulfilling life. Come along and say hello!”
The forum is free, but you do need to register before Tuesday, 12 September.
