About

LifePast50.ca is for Canadians nearing or starting retirement

We are boomers trying to do the "retirement thing"; doing what we really want - golf,  more time at the cottage, starting a 2nd career, or traveling the world.  We’re  not the only ones!  Many boomers are choosing to transition to a new life absent kids, jobs and the usual commitments.  So far, it  isn’t going as smooth as expected for some of us and we find others with similar "transition" challenges.  So we’ve started this website and blog to share information and experiences, and most of all to provide a forum for intelligent conversation on those topics important to boomers trying to transform to a LifePast50.

This site in not intended to entertain or edify reaching that final retirement goal.   We’re not here to promote travel packages, health products or retirement real  estate.   We do want to share, discuss and disseminate timely and relevant information with like-minded boomers.  One of our objectives is to capture the wisdom of our demographic community by publishing our personal experiences along with articles and stories that we feel are relevant to Canadian boomers.

Our objective is to provide useful information and initiate discussions that helps us learn & improve as we transition to our new life.

Information and discussion on Canadian retirement
 
LifePast50.ca is dedicated to examining the topics, issues and needs of the  recently or near-retired demographic and to do it in a uniquely Canadian way.    We’re different, after all we’ve had to deal with a currency that has changed in value from 62 cents to over $1 (US) within a short span of 5 years with more fluctuations to come.  Our health care system differs significantly and, in general, we believe Canadians have a broader view of the world than many of our friends and neighbours to the south.
 
How Does LifePast50.ca Work?
 
We’ll publish clearly written personal experiences along with articles and stories that we feel passionate about and are relevant to Canadian boomers. We’re not really interested in what Britney Spears is up to or wish to spend time looking at video clips of stupid people tricks.   We’ll filter and summarize stories of interest to our demographic.
 
Read, comment, participate in the discussion – most of all enjoy. We plan on keeping more permanent information available through pages – refer to the Topic List tab or the Page List to access this information.  Other discussions will occur as posts addressing related topic and issues that arise over time.
