I can’t believe it. This is our
150th episode! Wow, how time passes soo quickly. I thought we’d do
something special and talk about a topic that’s not 100% real
estate related but will, undoubtedly, change the markets we should
be investing in and the type of guest we will be receiving in the
future.
Let’s talk about the human lifespan. Our
population as a whole is getting older; it’s a
fact.
And as our population ages,
demographics change and that changes the fundamentals of our real
estate investments and the decision we are making.
Well… it should change our investment
decisions!
But it depends on your investment timeline and
to be honest - some of the demographic info is a bit hard to see
from the ground level.
I’ll
get to some excellent resources I’ve used in the past in a bit but,
first, a bit more on breaking scientific research that is allowing
us to live longer!
Every year we are alive we gain an extra 3
months of life. So, if you're alive for 10 extra years from today
that means you added another two and a half years to your lifespan.
And not too far off on the horizon, scientists believe that we will
be adding an extra year of life for every year we are alive;
imagine that.
So I don’t know about you but if I can live 20
years longer than the current life expectancy I am all for that; as
long as I’m healthy, that is. The good news, we know what we can do
today to live longer and stay healthy.
Lets
go slightly
off topic this week for a special
150th episode and talk about the latest scientific research behind
longer lifespans and how:
