Were you born between 1st January 1950 and 31st December 1959 and interested in finding out what other people born in your decade are doing now?
Our names are Robyn and Jeff and we were born in 1954 and 1957 respectively. We are part of the baby boomers generation and as the media keep telling us life is changing. Some of us will turn 60 this year and are looking at retirement from the work force or are you already retired? Our families are changing with parents that may need our care and assistance, children living independent lives and possibly the joy of grandchildren.
It is exciting to think of the future with some travel, new hobbies and interest as we go into this new stage in our lives. There may also be a few challenges to overcome as we get older but hopefully not too many.
This website has been created to give us all a chance to share our stories of what is happening to now or perhaps take a stroll down memory lane. There is no cost involved or membership required, so spend a little time and wander through our pages.
Our aim is to become a great source of information that will assist you in many areas of your life. We are looking for your input, help and assistance in creating a fantastic resource and online community for people
Born in the Fifties.
