Notes on The 100-Year Life
Full title: The 100-Year Life: Living and working in an age of longevity
Notes and Thoughts
- To those born in 1998 where pensions will not work anymore:
- Postgraduate gradient will rise, innovation and creativity above all, human skills sounds like charisma
- Team network of people matters for output, personal brands truly, pg105
- Mental decline arrested through socialisation
- Need to adapt work to freelancer portfolio, else blind loyalty to companies will not be worth much in later life - when you want to convert to half leisure half work
- Such as college teaching or something else, job that allows you to survive is time not drawing down on a pension blindly
- Portfolio career fourth stage, pg140, basically constant learning,
- Need constant re-invention, portable skills, in off-time, perhaps limiting work week constantly to have time to re-invest
- Remember you will live for a 100 years, that is very long and the old dogma of jobs will not help
- Build strong networks, skills, intangibles, travel widely to have transformational assets for the future, online persona?
- International postings?
- Savings are needed to realistically live out your remaining years
- Consumption levels should be strictly controlled
- Commit to aggressively saving any future income rises - will be easier to handle
- Corporate activity bounded by transition phases
- High quality partnerships among those that are similar pg245
- Multi-generational living sounds good
- But you need housing that is large enough as well
- Government welfare for those to maange the transition
