I don't know if any of you out there get time to read blogs, but just occasionally in my research findings I come across a little gem that I feel is worth sharing.
Take a look at this if you get time -
www.nevermindthebuspass.com. It not only touches on the usual stuff of pensions and health, but there's also some fun stuff on books, albums, fashion. I've enjoyed dipping in and out of this site.
Their Philosophy: There are 21 million people in the UK aged over 50 and the number is growing rapidly. We make up 35% of the population. We have huge economic leverage, bags of experience and wisdom and, because most of us are no longer bringing up children, more free time in which to enjoy ourselves. We’re going to live longer than any previous generation. The world really IS our oyster.
Yet the minute we turn fifty it seems as though society starts treating us differently – and not in a good way. We start getting bombarded by retirement organisations, by companies trying to sell us homes in ‘senior living’ communities, and holidays and activities that our parents, and their parents before them, used to ‘enjoy’. We’re told that we’re part of something dreadful called ‘the aging population’, as though growing older is something to be frowned upon. We’re expected to ‘grow old gracefully’ and to ‘act our age’.
Well, for all of you who feel vaguely puzzled to find yourself whatever age you are, while in your mind you’re still a teenager or in your twenties, Never Mind The Bus Pass is for YOU.
