Hi Neighbours!

The Minister for Seniors Tracey Martin has released the new strategy for our ageing population, Better Later Life – He Oranga Kaumātua 2019 to 2034.

Like the rest of the developed world, New Zealand has an ageing population. This means there are some things we must consider and prepare for as a country.

Better Later Life takes a fresh look at what is required to ensure New Zealand is a great place to age and achieve the vision of making sure older people lead valued, connecting and fulfilling lives.

The strategy's key areas for action will be used to guide the priorities of what needs to happen in our action plan.

I saw this and it reminded me of so many people I love who are doing this.

A colleague Bruce, had posted this and I wanted to share my thoughts.

It's a choice you know to live like this. It's not mandatory, it's not a have to. You can do anything you want. And that's no lie. You just have to want it bad enough.

If I told you that I have changed careers 3x times and been successful in all of them, would that help you shift your thinking a little? To believe you can try something new, something that you dont have to grind for the next 40 years. Wouldn't it be great?

You dont have to wait till you win lotto either.

I believe anyone can change for a financial free independent Lifestyle but it doesnt really count how much I believe because the only belief that does count is yours!
