And also, I'm a big believer in work.

So I don't think work is a four-letter word.

This is a time many Gen Xers can say, okay, how can I extend my working life

and phase into a retirement and do it in the way I want to do it.

And if you start early enough, you can start imagining and dreaming about what that might be that you might want to do.

It doesn't have to be pedal to the metal work, but it's a way to bring in that cash flow so you don't have to tap into those retirement accounts too early.

They can continue to grow.

You can push back social security, hopefully, to age 70, which we all say is a great idea if it works for you.

So these are just also it's the mental and physical stimulation of staying engaged.

But again, it doesn't have to be in what your primary career has been.

You can do a career transition, but this doesn't happen overnight.

Gosh, I love that.

You know, the thing is, again, as I prefaced on some of these other things, it takes time to make this happen for you.

But it is happening.

And older entrepreneurs tend to be more successful and get better traction than younger ones for lots of reasons.

They've got marketing savvy.

They've got management savvy.

They hopefully have some resources that they can tap to launch their businesses.

And they have a network that they can call on upon to do it.

And in today's world, the opportunity to start a business is so much easier because you can do it from the beauty and luxury of your own home office, often with your computer.
