Don't Retire, Start a Micro Business
Retirem ent today is either something that people welcome, or dread. In the UK, the age to qualify for your pension seems to move further away with successive govenments. And with no legal retirement age in the UK, if you want to and your company agrees, you can keep working for as long as you like. Do you want to continue with your employm ent is the question many are asking. A realistic altemative is to start your own micro business.
As the cost of living continues to rise, many in the over 60 age group in particular are looking for altemative ways to make ends meet. But also, how they can take more control of their lives by creating porfolio careers or, staring micro businesses.
The gig economy continues to expand. This fledgling working environm ent continues to define its rules of engagement, but for many, the gig economy has opened a new way to eam an income on their tems. In a report 'Gig Economy Workers and the Future of Retirement', it is found that sixteen percent of Americans plan to take a gig job in their retirem ent. Similar numbers are likely in the UK For those who have no intention of retiring, it is using their business in a dffeent way: a micro business can ensure you have a comfortable retirem ent. If anyone is thinking of winding down his working lives, or that want to make a change, he is to start a new micro business now. Developing this enterprise over the next few years could lead to a healthy second income that could replace the money you will have available if you do fully retire. This is the approach many over 60s are taking as they often top surveys of new business owners. Indeed, the concept of the 'older entrepreneur' is fast becoming the nom, outstipping the often-quoted Mllennial group, as the most entrepreneurial.

For many of us, the concept of family is a lot narrower than it used to be. Today children go away to college, and take up careers wherever opportunity seems greatest. So instead of growing up in an extended family, with grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins involved in our day-to-day lives, many of us are truly con- netted only to our parents and siblings. Many kids today knew little of the lives of relatives outside the nuclear family, and don't care deeply about them.
Whether we're aware of it or not, this estrangement creates a void. "People have an inherent need to feel connected, "says Joy Browne, a psychologist and talkshow host in the U.S. "And they'll do it in whatever ways are easiest for them. "When family members are distant, what could be easier than .forming a connection to celebrities--especially glamorous ,public-spirited ones like the Kennedys".
This sort of false intimacy isn't new, of course. People wept when Rudolph Valentime died in 1926 and when the Lindberghs lost their baby in 1932. It's natural and in most ways harmless to identify with the famous. But todays combination of busy lives, fragmented families' and saturation media coverage of celebrities means this is the only intimacy many of us experience outside our immediate family. And that's unhealthy, because these celebrity relationships are not two way.
For that, we need to stay connected to our own families. We'll never turn back the clock to keep families from scattering. But parents can help by telling their kids stories about their grandparents, aunts and cousins, and by keeping the relatives informed of the kids' latest activities and interests.
Technology can encourage more frequent, more casual contact. It's no chore to dash off an email to Granddad.
Better yet, take a vacation with members of your extended family--and not at anyone's home. A week or so of relaxed interaction can be a great way to turn up family ties. And when tragedy happens, there's no substitute for family. Because no matter how much we cry for the Kennedys, they can't be there to cry for US.

The author is _______.
A．talking on the phone
B．talking on the television
C．talking on the radio
D．talking on the platform

Chapter-A-Day started in 1999 when Suzanne Beecher, a lifelong book lover, realized how many of the women who worked part-time for her software development company didn't have time in their busy lives to read. She decided to type part of a chapter of a book, and send it to her employees through email. The next day she typed a little more, and continued to send literary installments each day. She says she started getting feedback from the staff about how reading made them feel. "They were interested, and realized that, though they didn't have time in their busy lives for reading, just reading that little bit each day got them back in the habit." Realizing that many other people could benefit, she decided to take the idea even further and start an email "chapter-a-day" book club to help others ease their way back into daily reading. "Reading makes changes in people's lives," Beecher says.
Pat Dempsey, a librarian at a public library in Ohio, has found Chapter-A-Day helps her library clients get back in the habit of reading. "It's a different way to get people hooked on hooks," she says.

A．get back into the habit of reading
B．relieve stress from office work
