I turned 50 recently and went through a little mini-crisis. There has been so much introspection going on. Perhaps the thought that I will only have 30 – 40 more years left (God willing) has left me feeling that I want to accomplish so much more. I want to live this second innings of my life as well as I can.

When we reach certain milestones in our lives we tend to spend some time contemplating. One of the aims of 50 Plus Reasons is to help all of us live the rest of our lives intentionally, seriously and joyfully.

Learning options & taking control of my own investments has been liberating, exciting & empowering. This is my wish for as many people as we can possibly reach.

50 Plus Reasons is also so much more than just finances, it is a place where we can learn from each other, lift each other up when times are hard, genuinely care for each other in our little group.

There are people who are just so good at putting things in perspective, they can help us learn to live intentionally, seriously and joyfully. Let’s suck the marrow out of this life. Let’s live the way our creator intended us to live, let’s seize each day, let’s have some fun.

We all mess up, we all do things we shouldn’t or don’t want to do and don’t do things we should. Making wrong choices (even stupid decisions) is not the end of the world. It teaches us & can be the fuel needed to give us the energy and drive to do better. The journey I personally have been on to improve my finances through options (the learning, the pain & resolve needed) is knowledge I wish I knew earlier in life.

We can use the pain & disappointment in ourselves to turn things around. Get angry, decide enough is enough, you are going to make some changes.

This is where 50 Plus Reasons can help. Let’s start with getting our finances on a better trajectory & getting our head space right so we can start crushing life. Take the time necessary to learn new skills. Let’s get disciplined and serious about making today and every day count.  Procrastination is not your friend.
