When there is a material base of life experience and, in addition, have more free time, a person begins the process of rethinking your life as a whole and its individual parties.





Many people after 50, a second career, sometimes in a completely new area. There are times when a second profession becomes a hobby. The money ceases to be the leading factor, and in the foreground of interest, the possibility of self-realization, a feeling of being wanted, the benefit to society as a whole (for example, in the US, many retirees are working for free as volunteers in hospitals, schools and charitable organizations). A second career took place, many people go to learn.

People after 50 happy to learn. It can be both short courses and complete higher education. Often people use the possibilities, which for various reasons he had to abandon in his youth.

However, many, still lead an active social life hanging out with older children and grandchildren, friends, Hobbies, work, travel consciously choose loneliness. For some reason, especially often about what a pleasure, finally, to live alone, women say.





Often parishes of age, people suddenly find in yourself a new sexuality. Many posadres finally accept your own body the way it is, and say goodbye to complexes. While women often admit that after menopause, when there is no fear of getting pregnant, they feel much more relaxed.

Maturity is a great time for all that did not exist before time, including for realization of creative abilities: dancing, music, painting, literature, blogging, fashion and clothing. In addition, many begin to travel altogether or change their place of residence.
