Thanks for an encouraging read Jen Gippel PhD! As a mathematician, I love the equation.

I agree with a number of the comments - the new 50 is vibrant and thanks to good nutrition and modern medicine has as many years to offer society after 50 in their 3rd age and they did working in the economy. It is a waste to ignore that pool of knowledge and experience.

I surprised myself by writing and publishing a book that was not even a dream this day a year ago!!!
