Jewelers, shoe stores and other specialty retailers are among the operators opening at outdoor, non-mall locations such as grocery-anchored shopping centers and strip malls after finding that they perform better and typically save on costs. Consumers like quick and easy access to retail outlets. Village-style walk-up or drive-up locations are thriving! (WSJ)
The things that bring you day-to-day happiness usually start around the age of 53, an age when you realize the things that make you happy are not what you had anticipated would make you happy in your 20’s. (CNBC)
Most say your prime ‘earning years’ are in your 40’s-50’s…..Director Steven Spielberg – age 77 years old – is another example of people continuing to work much later in life, even though they don’t need the money. His net worth has more than DOUBLED in the past 8 years. About 26% of people between 65 – 74 are continuing to work, and that number shrinks to about 7.3% for people over 75, according to census data.
