What To Do In Your 40s

I have been reading this emails recently from Jeff Henderson, he is the author of What to do Next, an excellent book you should read. I’m going to share with you some information on what to do in your forties just because it applies to me as well, but I will be sharing with you what to do in your 20s and 30s and 50s in the next few days.

If you are in this season of your life here is what you should do in your 40s:

  1. Provide an Annual Financial Report for your family. This include an update on any investments, account numbers and passwords, who to contact and suggestions on what to do with each investment. “A wise an loving husband prepares his wife to be a widow.” This may sound depressing but it is very wise.
  2. Continue to think of yourself as an athlete, and keep training. Most people who played sports stopped seeing themselves as athletes when their athletic career stopped. We still in the most important game of all- the game of life. Keep training. This not only impacts you physically, it benefits you mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
  3. Read the book of proverbs. Regardless about what you think of the Bible. Proverbs is a treasure trove of wisdom. There is priceless guidance there for you to use for your second half of life.
  4. Read more. Watch less.
  5. Review your insurance policy annually
  6. Leave a paper trail . Write one handwritten note a week to each member of your family, thanking and encouraging them for being in your life.
  7. Colonoscopy. This and other assessments annually.
  8. Consider a side hustle. This isn’t for everyone but a side hustle can often be a pathway to your future.
  9. Establish a healthy morning routine. A great day begins the night before. Instead of scattered approach to the day, define a morning routine that sets you up for success.
  10. Increase the percentage of money that you are saving and giving away. If you are at 10% for each, aim for 11%. Also if you have kids and haven’t started a college education savings plan, its better late than never.

I hope this helps you in some way .♡
