But it's shifting all the time because it's not actually to do with lifespan necessarily.

It's this age of potentially reaching a period that you think you should have contentment and you're not quite sure what that means.

Does that resonate at all?

And did that come into your thinking about your shift?

And that's for men as well, I think, isn't it?

In our industry, I think, in the sense that you're not going to necessarily get those opportunities when you turn 70.
