How Gen Xers Can Reclaim the Future

At last! A book that speaks directly to Gen Xers' anxieties about the future by showing how the decades ahead are not a problem to be solved but an invaluable asset-an unprecedented opportunity to reclaim financial freedom, meaning and well-being.In The Longevity Bonus, Peabody Award winner and Fortune 100 management consultant Mark S. Walton-author of the national bestseller Unretired-offers a practical roadmap for thriving in the new age of longevity. Drawing on the latest social and neuroscientific research, along with real-life stories and personal interviews, he reveals the emerging potential of midlife and beyond.Gen Xers grew up amid rising divorce rates, disappearing pensions, dot-com busts, the 9/11 attacks, the Great Recession, and COVID. Today, they face economic disruptions, the emergence of AI, career derailments, and a spiraling cost of living.Yet their response to tough times has always been a pragmatic, adaptable, and self-reliant resolve.As Kiplinger, the pioneering personal finance journal, notes: "The realities they face could spur a pivotal moment in how Americans view the later phases of life. It may be that a traditional retirement is a non-starter for many people. But that's not necessarily bad news."Far from it, as you will discover for yourself in The Longevity Bonus.
