At 57, I Realized Two Things — and the First One Is That Nobody Cares
I was thinking about an old mortgage chart I was shown years ago when I bought my first apartment in England. The advisor walked me through how the early years of a mortgage are mostly interest, and only later does the balance shift toward paying down the principal.
That chart came back to me recently in a way I didn't expect. Because life works the same way — and somewhere in your 50s, the graph flips.
In this episode I sit with two realizations that have been turning over in my head since I lost my job at 56. The first is about time, and how losing a paycheck has a strange way of making the clock visible for the first time. The second is about other people, and the slightly uncomfortable truth that nobody really cares what you do — and why that turns out to be one of the most freeing things you can ever hear.
Whether you're navigating job loss, thinking about reinvention, sitting on an idea you've been afraid to start, or just wondering what the next chapter looks like, this one's for you.
If any of this resonates, come find me at empoweroverfifty.com. I just put up a message board because I want this to be a conversation, not a broadcast. There are also free resources and tools on the site if you're at the start of your own next chapter.
Until next week.
