You have surely noticed: retirement today looks nothing like our parents’ retirement. Gone is the image of the quiet armchair. You have plans, energy, and every intention of making the most of life. Welcome to the world of seenagers: a new generation of seniors who live their retirement as an adventure.
So what is a seenager? The word is a playful blend: senior + teenager. In other words, the freedom of being fifteen… with experience and means on top. No professional pressure, no children to raise day to day. Just time to make your dreams happen.
How do they live?
Active and fit: Nordic walking, yoga, swimming… Keeping moving is the key to staying healthy.
Connected: more than 60% of people over 65 go online every day. Video, travel booking, social media: nothing stops them.
Travellers: off-season, somewhere peaceful, or on the other side of the world. Curiosity is their guide.
Savvy spenders: they treat themselves, travel, go out… even if it means “spending the children’s inheritance” (with a wink, of course).
Why does it matter?
Seenagers are changing the way society looks at ageing. They stay active in their families, their neighbourhoods and even in the economy. They prove that age really is just a number.
In short
Being a seenager means choosing a life that is rich, curious and joyful. So, ready to live this second youth? Your enthusiasm is your greatest ally.
