When was the last time you paused to acknowledge all the wonderful things in your life such as good health, a roof over your head, and people who love you? The fact is that most people are so busy chasing things they don’t have, that they fail to appreciate the things they do. Be careful what you take for granted.

People have the potential to live longer than ever before, which is prompting workers to rethink their time in the workforce relative to retirement. Many workers — whether by choice or by necessity — now seek to extend their working lives beyond the traditional retirement age. An individual’s working years can now span six or more decades.
