Over 50 - how do you see yourself ?

Mature?  Active?  Around fifty?  Over 50?  An older worker?  A baby boomer?  Planning retirement?  Retired?  Absolutely no thoughts of retirement?

Do you want to make some changes?

If so, and if you're over 50, then in my prime is for you. We’re the leading organisation for mature, positive, energetic people who want to achieve more – at a time in their lives when others might be thinking of easing off, slowing down or planning for retirement.

Perhaps you’re drawing to the end of a long career, one of the "older workers"? Perhaps changes in family or domestic circumstances call for some fundamental re-appraisal of the direction of your life? Perhaps your needs are financial, you just can’t afford to stop? Or maybe you’re just bored or frustrated and know that there must be more to life than this?

in my prime is all about helping and supporting you to:  

  • find appropriate ways to maximise your potential in every area of your life

  • develop new interests whether work or leisure

  • dispel all doubts (if you have any) - being over 50 is nothing to do with being old

really enjoy what you're doing, now and well into the future

Over 55s: seeking skilled, paid work – which is useful, fulfilling and valued

A recent article in the New York Times featured the work of ReServe, an organisation I’ve come across before which merits ongoing attention. ReServe is an innovative non-profit organisation that links people over 55 with meaningful second careers.


NEST (Not Exactly Scintillating Topic)

This year sees the launch of the NEST (National Employment Savings Trust) pension scheme providing a route into pension saving that to date has been denied to many or not pursued by many. We wish it well and hope that individuals do really see the benefit of saving for their later life whether that will truly be retirement or will be some mixture of work and supplementary income provided by a pension.


How witty is WEARY?

Well, not very if you fall into the group to which it refers. This latest acronym is the brain-child of the Future Foundation who, in a recent research report for Friends Life, coined it to refer to “Working, Entrepreneurial and Active Retirees”.

This phrase in itself actually sounds quite inspiring (despite the oxymoron about working and being retired) – working, active and entrepreneurial, the essence of what we know today’s older people to be. But weary? Not a bit of it!

Your money and your life - a pressing need for lifetime financial planning

Newly published figures from the Office for National Statistics have massive implications for the duration of time individuals spend working, for financing retirement, for staying healthy and for living a meaningful life. As the challenges created by longevity collide with a sustained period of UK economic decline the time has come for government, employers and individuals to adopt a fundamental shift in approach towards lifetime financial planning.
