Description:
This week is a rebroadcast of one of my favorite episodes from 2019. How Are You Planning for Your 100-Year Life with Andrew Scott? I am releasing this episode the week after the US Thanksgiving holiday. Rather than not publishing an episode, I thought I would dig back into the archives and rebroadcast one of the more impactful episodes of 2019. If you listened to this episode 3 years ago, I suggest you listen to it again.
Andrew published The 100-Year Life: Living and Working in an Age of Longevity. He is also the author of the NextAvenue.org post titled Is 75 the New 65? How the Definition of Aging Is Changing.
The book The 100-Year Life is about how our expectations of how life might look like when we regularly live to 100 years old. He does this by discussing 3 different scenarios:
This is a fascinating topic as the traditional retirement age of 65 does not work when many will live to 100 or even longer.
We are all living longer. Even though this was recorded prior to the pandemic the points that Andrew Scott makes about what it means to get older are still extremely relevant.
The article titled Is 75 the New 65? How the Definition of Aging Is Changing is how a 75-year-old today has the same life expectancy of a 65-year-old 40 years ago. You can think of this in a way that you have been granted 10 more years of life. What are you going to do with it?
I think our conversation is even more relevant today as the pandemic is getting us to re-evaluate what we are doing and what we want to do with our lives.
