50s

Now you're officially classified as "over-the-hill" by your kids, you might even be a grandfather. But you don't necessarily feel old. You've been working at full throttle for over half your life and it's time to start gearing down.

Start wrapping things up at work, make sure you are financially sound so that you can enjoy a secure retirement and surround yourself with loved ones.
