When you reach the age of 40+ you have been around a block a few times. You are wiser and have more experience than most of the population on earth. So for the few things that you need help on I’m going to point them out so that you can be set up for greatness in your 50s.
Travel More
The first thing you should try to do is travel more. I understand if you have kids it’s going to be a little bit harder to travel but you should definitely make an effort to explore the world. I suggest visiting your dream destination wherever it may be.
While you’re in your 40s you are already established in your career more than likely. So you should take time away from work and do something that you truly love, travel or not, take time for yourself.
Do a Financial Health Check
You should make sure that your finances are in order so that you can have it on autopilot for the rest of your life. You should already have a nice Nest Egg built up from years prior, and have a pretty good idea of where you want to go financially down the road.
So while you’re in this stage of your life make it a point to visit your financial doctor aka advisor to make sure you are on track for all of your goals that you have. The last thing you want to do is look back with regret, and a lot of would have, could have, and should have.
Continue Being Active
Don’t start being lazy now that you are reaching your golden years. Remain active in the gym or the dance studio or whatever floats your boat. Even going on walks around the neighborhood or the park will keep your body in tip top shape.
The last thing you want to do is have the time and the money, but let your body fall apart. At this stage in your life you start going to the doctor more and your doctor will love you if you keep your body active.
Learn Another Language
Similar to the one before, as you train your body to stay active you need to also train your brain to stay sharp. It’s not uncommon as we get older we start to forget things, but if we keep exercising our brain like we exercise our body, you will keep your wits about you longer.
I suggest learning another language whether it’s Spanish, English, Chinese, Mandarin or even a software language like Python, Java, C+, or C++. Do something that’s going to keep you on your toes even Candy Crush works.
