Career Building at Any Age
Click Here for Podcast: AIR-2013-04-13.mp3
The number of working Americans age 65 and over has doubled in the last 15 years with a record of 7.2 million in the work force. Much of this has been driven by 401(k)s decimated, an increase in the social security age and a decrease in those who retire with pensions. Not all is doom and gloom, as working does have its benefits. We stay active, social and with a purpose, which is important as we age. Business and Career Coach, Vickie Austin says a “Career Encore” may be the answer. It could be time to do something you have always wanted to do or discover what you would love to do. With a little thought process and strategic planning, your Career Encore could have you passionately doing what you love. It may even become the best time and most alive encore of your life!

The evolution of Leeza’s Place started after Leeza Gibbons and her family, over the course of ten years watched her mother succumb to Alzheimer’s disease. After her mother’s death Leeza recognized that when she first needed help she had no place to turn for caregiving guidance and support. With this recognition Leeza started Leeza’s Place and now has two locations in California, two in Florida and one in Joliet Illinois. As Leeza said, caregiving can be a depressing, stressing and an isolating experience coupled with compassion fatigue. At times you want to pull the covers over your head because you are temporarily frozen and do not know what to do. Kathy Miller, Program Outreach Director at Leeza’s Place in Joliet says that Leeza’s Place is a gathering place and community resource center committed to providing free support services, resources and programs for family caregivers.

Malcolm Out Loud, the “Brink Thinker” sees our Medicare program as the forefront issue in all elections. He says politicians use scare tactics of it being broke to get votes. Brink Thinking, Malcolm believes, is a reinvention of our current Medicare program that could provide greater access to care, and sustain itself with our growing demographics. Medicaid is no better off with food stamps and the SNAP program costing $80 billion per year and growing fast. The Watch Dog on Wall Street, Chris Markowski says that welfare is creating a culture of dependence and entitlement which continues to weaken our nation. Just one of the many weak points as Woodrow Wilcox knows firsthand. Medicare loses $1billion a year in false and erroneous Medicare claims. Maybe it’s time to reinvent both systems and Woodrow’s book, Solving Medicare Problems may a place to start.

Joyce suggests not letting time slip by without reconciling because the longer a fallout goes on the harder it becomes to get back in communication. Our protective ego defenses come in to play as Tracy Clifford, doctor of psychology teaches. Once we identify our defenses we realize they are the blocks from our happiness, confidence, high self esteem and more. We can only control ourselves, not the outcome or the behavior of others. It becomes a personal choice as to our reaction in any given situation and at some point we start to realize that we may be the cause of not having what we want.

Dr. Flora and Dr. Yan Katsnelson discuss the simplicity of USA Vein Clinics and their progressive minimally invasive treatments that have little or no down time.

There are many defining moments in life such as leaving home, getting married, the birth of our children, purchasing your first home and turning 65! Medicare was passed into law in 1965 with benefits available as of July 1966. Age 65 is when you become eligible to receive Social Security benefits, as we know of them today. In the future we are realizing that Social Security and Medicare may be entirely different programs out of the need to be. Our show provides diverse information and resources that will keep you moving forward on your aging journey. The “New and Improved Age” is now 65. This is a time in life when there is so much more as we are healthier and more active than past generations. Paul McCartney probably never thought he would be a rock star at 70. Then again, it is never too late as we are aging, but not growing old.

We have 65 million caregivers in the United States, which is approximately 29% of the population and this number continues to grow. When someone becomes a caregiver it can quickly become overwhelming as their life downward spirals. Many caregivers are exhausted, worn down and pushed to the brink. You are either a caregiver, have been one, know of one or will be one. It will cross your path directly or indirectly at some point in your life. When it does, know that self care is as important as being a caregiver. We are finally realizing that care, support and education needs to be on both sides for caregiving to work. Realize that you are not alone, and when the time comes hiring a professional caregiver may be your answer.
