Podcasts about silvernest

Populations are ageing, people are living longer than ever before, and traditional residential care options are not going to be the right fit for an increasing number of people. We need new ideas that fill the gaps between living comfortably in your own home, and the high care needs of a residential facility. Today's episode features two new and different solutions to this problem that focus on social engagement, financial stability and above all else, options. Our first guest is Riley Gibson, the President of Silvernest, an American company helping older adults rent out a spare room in their home to a would-be tenant of all ages. The company is helping to bring social engagement and community to isolated older adults as well as reducing financial burdens of homeowners. You can find out more about Silvernest here: https://www.silvernest.com/ In Part 2 we spoke to Jake Rothstein from UpsideHoM, a Florida based company that is helping older adults move out of their empty nest into multigenerational apartment buildings, where they can access community events, care services and ultimately more independence and helping older adults connect to an engaged multigenerational community. You can find out more about UpsideHoM here: https://www.upsidehom.com/ Also, if you haven't been tuning in regularly you might've missed our new show on Friday's called Who Cares? Where our friends Daniella and Moz pick apart some of the challenges to delivering great care and will be talking about this episode and the thought-provoking issues raised. The Aged Care Enrichment Podcast is brought to you by SilVR Adventures ⬇️

Millions of American workers plan to retire this year. Many wonder if they'll have enough to stay retired. Inflation, interest rates, the stock market and the economy in general all can have an impact on retirement planning. How much does the average retiree need to live on? We'll tackle that question today on MoneyWise. The conventional wisdom is that after you stop working, you can live comfortably on 80-percent of your pre-retirement income. Financial planners arrive at that figure for a number of reasons. WHY YOU GENERALLY NEED LESS INCOME IN RETIREMENT Once you retire, you'll no longer be putting 10-percent of your income into your retirement account. And since you're no longer earning a salary, you won't be paying 7.65-percent of it in Social Security and Medicare taxes. You'll no longer have work-related expenses like travel and clothing. And finally, a portion of your retirement income will come from Social Security benefits. But a survey of recent retirees by T. Rowe Price found they were living on only 66-percent of their final working salary, and they reported being content. Granted, those surveyed were described as relatively affluent, but the number is still somewhat surprising. How are they doing it? It turns out that many of them saved more than 10-percent of their income during their working years. That not only increased the value of their portfolios it also trained them to watch their spending and stick to a budget. Another huge factor was making it a priority to pay off their mortgage before retiring eliminating what is usually the biggest household expense. In addition to that, successful retirees have found numerous ways to either cut their living expenses or increase their income. Here are a few examples. CUTTING EXPENSES: Some empty-nesters have looked around their unoccupied bedrooms and seen dollar signs. There are services like RoomMates4Boomers and SilverNest that can help you rent out a room in your house. COVID has put a crimp on that idea for the time being but as the pandemic eases it will become a more viable option. Many retirees naturally take to gardening as a way to get fresh air and spruce up the landscape. It's not a big leap to put in a vegetable garden, and everything you harvest reduces your grocery bill. Do you really need two cars once you retire? You can save on insurance, registration and repair costs by getting rid of one of them. Also, at this stage of life, do you really need life insurance? It's supposed to replace lost income if you pass. But if the kids are grown and out of the house, you no longer need to provide for them. And now that the house is paid for, do you plan to continue living there as long as possible? Most retirees want to stay in their homes, and it's the cheapest place you can live, far cheaper than moving into an assisted living facility or nursing home. You're more likely to be able to stay in your home if you make it safe and accessible as you age. Installing grab handles and mats in bathrooms is also a good idea. Curbless showers and walk-in bathtubs can also extend the time you're able to care for yourself as you age. But by far the most important thing you can do to keep living at home is to exercise. Staying fit and limber is a prerequisite for taking care of yourself and staying out of a nursing home. These ideas can help you retire comfortably and probably on far less than 80-percent of working salary. LISTENER QUESTIONS On today's program, Rob also answers listener questions: ●When is it wise to utilize debt for property investment? ●At what point does it make sense for a young couple to meet with a financial advisor? ●What is the best way to invest $5,000 when close to retirement? ●When does it make sense to cash in government savings bonds? ●What are your options if you've hired a contractor to build a house and find that the work is substandard?

Recently this podcast was invited to co-host a Next For Me event in NYC called “Myths & Misconceptions: The Truth About 50+ Consumers." (Full disclosure: NFM is one of our sponsors.) The other co-hosts were Stria News and Silvernest. Stria News is a media platform for the longevity market that inspires cross-sector solutions for our aging society. Silvernest is an online service that pairs boomers, retirees and empty nesters with compatible housemates for long-term home sharing.The event took place at Trove Social, a social club for people in their prime, in lower Manhattan. About 50 people attended, all of whom are active in one way or another with the midlife reinvention movement. That included members of the media, marketers, entrepreneurs and consumers.The goal was to discuss, honestly and openly, the myths and misconceptions surrounding the age 50+ demographic and how this translates into a lost market opportunity. And to bust those myths. You’re probably familiar with a lot of them: Older people are grumpy.Older people hate technology and don’t use it.Older people don’t spend money.Older people don’t have sex... and they don’t want to.Older people have less to contribute. The underlying question: what if more people recognized that those 50 and up are a vast, diverse and untapped source of potential dollar revenue as well as being overlooked contributors to society?Some of us might still be having sex while others don’t. Some of us love technology and the latest iPhone while others tolerate it or ignore it. The point is that the millions of members of this age 50-plus demographic are all different. And yet we all seem to be confronted with the same ageist attitudes and the same misconceptions about who we are as individuals.In this episode Debbie chats with Jeff Tidwell, co-founder of Next For Me. This is a follow-up to Debbie's conversation with Jeff in EP8 of Season 1. She also talks to Susan Donley, founder, publisher and CEO of Stria News, and to Wendi Burkhardt, co-founder and CEO of Silvernest.PHOTO: Debbie, left, and Wendi Burkhardt of Silvernest.  Mentioned in the episodeNext For Me's Oct. 7, 2019 event in NYC"An Unabashedly Honest Conversation on the Realities of Aging" (article in Stria News by Carolyn Jacobs on Oct. 21, 2019) Support this podcast:Leave a review on iTunes: it means so much!Subscribe via Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts, Stitcher or Spotify Credits:Host: Debbie WeilProducer: Julie-Roxane KrikorianPodcast websiteMusic by Manuel Senfft Connect with us:Email: thegapyearpodcast@gmail.comTwitter: @debbieweilInsta: @debbieweilRead Debbie and Sam's blog: Gap Year After Sixty Thanks to our Media Partners!Encore.org, an ideas and innovation hub tapping the talent of those 50+ as a force for good.Modern Elder Academy Navigating mid-life transitions: Grow Whole, Not Old.Next For Me Rewriting +50 life through new work, a new purpose, or a new social contribution.

Why are so many women horrified at being called “old”—even well into their 70s? Best-selling author and clinical psychologist Mary Piper tells us it’s because our cultural scripts about aging don’t adequately capture what it means to be an older woman today. Mary joins the podcast for an in-depth discussion about intergenerational connections, vibrant new chapters and flourishing as we age.

As we age, we accumulate experience, perspective and yes, wisdom. But it turns out that our brains also change in ways that can be profoundly useful to colleagues, employers and clients. Chip Conley, founder of the Modern Elder Academy and former Airbnb Head of Global Hospitality and Strategy, joins the podcast to share fascinating insights about how the work world is starting to understand and appreciate the wisdom of elders in new ways.

Isolation and loneliness are rampant in our culture today—and they’re a particular risk for seniors. How can people come together to revive connection and community, helping seniors stay independent and in their own homes as long as possible? Barbara Sullivan, National Director of Village to Village Network, joins us to talk about these important issues and what it means to be an age-friendly community.

Millions of Boomers are interested in contributing their time and energy to help young people, but don’t know where to find opportunities. On the other hand, there are thousands of young people looking for mentorship and support to help them grow into successful members of their communities. In this episode, we discuss how and why to bridge the gap with Phyllis Segal, Vice President of Encore.org and co-founder of its Gen2Gen campaign.

Remember the Golden Girls? Well, having roomies in your golden years – or even your silver years -- is becoming more common.
