The ‘Golden Bachelor’ divorce everyone knew was coming
Did Gerry Turner and Theresa Nist just dismantle the whole point “The Golden Bachelor” tried to prove? That stunned feeling is absolutely ringing through the internet. It’s especially boggling, perhaps, because The Golden Bachelor’s first run was exceptionally full of hope—far more than previous seasons of The Bachelor and The Bachelorette. Women fell in love with Gerry, and he fell in love with them. And the recurring line we heard over and over again was also an optimistic one: “You can find love at any age.”
The key to a long life? ‘Undereating’ and ice baths, says 88-year-old Gary Player, still spritely at 88th Masters
Player remarked that “It’s not so easy to put the ball on the tee now is it?” to his American counterparts, only to then split the first fairway with a smooth drive. After celebrating the effort with his traditional leg-kick, the three-time Masters champion returned once more to the Augusta National clubhouse to share the secrets of his seemingly perpetual youth.

Retiring in your 60s is becoming an impossible goal. Is 75 the new 65?
People are living longer, and daily life is getting more expensive. It may be time to rethink the timeline for leaving the workforce. Handing in your proverbial badge as a sexagenarian has been the goal for many workers around the world: turning 65 would open a golden portal to retirement. Yet increasingly, the idea of stepping away from the workforce in your 60s doesn't seem realistic – or even sensible – for many people, especially now. Some major financial figureheads agree.
Most millennials think it’s important to ‘appear’ rich, more than any other generation: study
Image-obsessed millennials think it’s important to “look or appear” financially successful more than previous generations — despite many of them struggling with high housing costs, student loan payments, and compounding credit card debt, according to a recent Wells Fargo study. While 54% of the millennials Wells Fargo surveyed say they’ve been greatly affected by the cost-of-living crisis, 59% of the 28-to-43-year-old age group think it’s important to show off their financial status through the way they dress, the car they drive, and the home they live in. By comparison, just 35% of Gen Xers, 14% of baby boomers, and 7% of the silent generation feel the same about flaunting their wealth, according to the survey.
A new start after 60: I fought off four attackers – and earned my aikido black belt
Morag Warrack, 68, was so shy it took her a year to pluck up the courage to take her first aikido lesson. Now she’s giving them. In 2014, a year into her retirement, Morag Warrack found herself in a village hall in the Surrey hills, surrounded by middle-aged men throwing each other on to the floor. “I was terrified and thought all these blokes would be shocked by an old woman walking in,” she says. “The teacher encouraged me to stay and I realised they were all kind and curious about me being there. That was my first experience of learning aikido.”
