Older people outpace their younger peers when it comes to combining and utilizing complex ideas
We get Boomers and Gen X

Older people outpace their younger peers when it comes to combining and utilizing complex ideas
Are younger people smarter? Are older people wiser? Living longer affects the brain, but exactly how may surprise you. Where senior brains shine: Older adults are better at retaining information they’ve learned, called semantic memory. For example, throughout life, people maintain and grow their vocabulary. Seniors are better Scrabble players and often excel in foreign languages. At age 69, Akira Haraguchi, a retired engineer from Japan, recited 100,000 digits of pi from memory. Likewise, older people outpace their younger peers when it comes to combining and utilizing complex ideas.
Retiring abroad can mean more bureaucracy than bruschetta. But it’s growing in popularity.
As America’s retirement crisis grows, so too does the dream of retiring abroad where cities are walkable, social services plentiful and the cost of living affordable: Gelato in the piazza, white sand and year-round sun, little villages tucked into ocean coves and cheap health care all sound pretty good. But while retirees might imagine spending their golden years full of pasta and palazzos, the realities of moving abroad are much less romantic. There’s often more bureaucracy than bruschetta.
The 4 phases of retirement | Dr. Riley Moynes | TEDxSurrey
Imagine squeezing all the juice out of retirement! When interviewed on his research, Dr. Riley Moynes commented, “I wish I knew then what I know now about the psychological challenges that accompany retirement. It would have made things much clearer and easier.” By interviewing hundreds of retirees, he has discovered a framework that can help make more sense of this challenging chapter of our lives…one that, for many, could last for 30 years or more. If you’re retired, this talk will make things much clearer for you. If you’re not, you’ll have a better idea of what to expect when that time comes. Riley has enjoyed a distinguished career spanning four decades in both public and private sectors.
Millennial mom tells her kids the horror stories of being raised by boomers
A millennial mom-of-three has shared a story online about how her children under 10 reacted when they found out how she was punished as a kid. Lisa Pontius, 36, told her 9-year-old daughter that she had to stand in a corner for a time-out and had soap or chili peppers put on her tongue if she used a bad word or talked back to her parents. Pontius said that her child was shocked and extremely grateful that these methods aren't used in their home. Newsweek discussed the clip that has over 481,200 views on TikTok with homemaker Pontius. According to a 2023 study of 1,000 millennial parents across the United States, 88 percent say their current parenting style is different from how they were raised.
More people are turning 65 this year than ever before. That has sparked a gold rush for the retirement industry
More Americans are turning 65 this year than ever before, and that number is set to creep even higher over the next few years. It’s fueling a huge rollout of new retirement products — but they’re not all golden tickets. An average of 11,200 Americans will reach that traditional retirement age each day in 2024, according to a recent report by the Alliance for Lifetime Income. This surge, along with new legislation that took effect recently, has led to a growing number of financial products that promise paychecks for life, no matter how long you live. But some options are difficult to reverse and, since some plans are so new, the benefits and shortfalls have not been thoroughly researched.
