Life Unsettled is a podcast hosted by Thomas O’Grady in a world where life is unsettled. How do you set yourself up for years to come (and start today) ? Until recently, the years between 45 and 65 years of age were ‘net savings years’, those years where income was more than expenses and people saved for retirement. Now, companies are replacing older workers. Meanwhile, while the net savings years are ripped apart, we’re all living much longer. So, how are people going to refocus their plans. Instead of retiring around 65 and living into their 70’s, people are losing jobs earlier and living into their late 80’s or 90’s. Solutions to this come from a variety of economic areas, entrepreneurs, financial people, home businesses and secondary income. The past is over. We can benefit by our experiences, but the past is behind us don’t dwell on it. The future is a dream, but all life is in the present, i.e. ‘Life Starts Now!’ The key question we answer in this episode is... What do you do if you hit 50 and feel you have wasted a lot of time?
