I’ve managed to procrastinate my way through my 50's and am now well on my way to 60. I'm currently living in Jacksonville FL, doing my self-inflictedworkity life remotely while caring for my parents in their 80s. I’ve marketed luxury homes in Ft. Lauderdale and vacation properties in Orlando—but After50.Life? This one’s personal.
This is where I talk about second acts, Digital Karma, and all the wild stuff we were too busy (or polite) to try in our first half of life.
I've never considered traditional retirement.
Whether that's from a lifetime of ultra-pro level procrastination or having left the safety of a 9 to 5 workity retirement track over 20 years ago, it would have all ended up the same for me. I keep doing what I've been doing ...until I can't do it anymore.
Life has a way of taking over that way, if we let it.
