LIFESTYLE

Unfortunately, leaving a job after decades doesn’t just mean more free time to relax and enjoy life. For many people, it also means leaving behind a world of habits, people, and small comforts that have become second nature. These are the things folks often find themselves missing more than they expected once they’ve clocked out for good. (Source: GlobeGrazers)

In 2010, a Grammy-winning artist passed on investing $200K in an emerging real estate disruptor. That stake could be worth $100+ million today.

One year later, another real estate disruptor, Zillow, went public. This time, everyday investors had regrets, missing pre-IPO gains.

Now, a new real estate innovator, Pacaso – founded by a former Zillow exec – is disrupting a $1.3T market. And unlike the others, you can invest in Pacaso as a private company.

Pacaso’s co-ownership model has generated $1B+ in luxury home sales and service fees, earned $110M+ in gross profits to date, and received backing from the same VCs behind Uber, Venmo, and eBay. They even reserved the Nasdaq ticker PCSO.

Invest for $2.90/Share

There's technically no wrong age to apply for Social Security. But there are definitely some ages that could lead to larger lifetime benefits than others.

Most people spend their 70th birthday blowing out candles and maybe taking a nap. I chose to jump into something wilder: I challenged myself to do 70 things I’d never done before and to do them before my next birthday. Call it a personal reinvention project. A midlife reboot. Or maybe just a refusal to fade quietly into “seniorhood.” What started as a playful dare to myself ended up transforming how I move through life. I used to wait. I waited for more time, more money, or a buddy to join me. But through this challenge, I stopped waiting and started doing. I visited new places. Tried weird (to me) food. Took bold risks. Laughed. Failed. Learned. Celebrated. And in the process, I rediscovered what it means to be more fully alive. The Fabulous70 Challenge wasn’t just a bucket list, although it did include some wild items. It was a mindset shift. I stopped thinking of aging as shrinking and started seeing it as expanding. Now, I approach life with curiosity, not caution. And I’m not alone. The best part? Others are joining in. Friends, readers, even strangers on the internet are inspired to create their own versions: 65 new things at 65. 75 by 75. Why not? If you’re reading this and thinking, “I could never,” let me assure you that you absolutely can. Start small. Say yes more often. Take the class. Eat the dumpling. Book the solo trip. Age may be inevitable, but how we age is entirely up to us. And if you need a little nudge, I invite you to join the movement. Tag your adventures with #Fabulous70Challenge or visit Fabulous70.com to share your story. You might just surprise yourself and change your life in the process. After all, you’re not too old. You’re just getting started.
