Turning 50 for some people can be rather traumatic.
There comes a point that we see life passing us by quickly and realize that we may not be prepared to face the second half of life.
There are a number of areas that you should be getting in order if you do not already like your finances for instance but, you want to be ready physically as well.
If you are unable to keep yourself healthy after 50 with exercise and following a proper nutritional program, there is no way you will be in the drivers seat when it comes to living your life the way you want.
To be self reliant starts with doing what you can to maintain your health.
Its never been as important as it is today to be sure you that you keep your physical and mental health in top shape.
Both can be attained if you plan and prepare to follow a disciplined exercise and nutritional program.
One of the best investments you can make into your personal health insurance account is to get a membership at a gym or YMCA.
If you are not familiar with the equipment or have not been involved with an exercise program in the past be sure to get professional help to get you started on the right track and, to avoid possible injury.
Your independence as you age will be something you will look forward too,however, you need to start preparing now it is never too late.
Strength training and eating properly will assure you that you are doing everything you can to stay at the top of your game.
Remember, health is wealth.
By staying physically and mentally strong it allows you to have a better quality of life.
If you want to continue to work to keep some sort of cash flow coming in and you are better equipped to handle the workload and, working at something keeps you mentally active as well.
Self reliance means not having to go to someone else with your hand out because you cannot work or you were unable to keep you finances under control.
Last of all, going into life after 50 with no debt will help you build and maintain the self reliant attitude you need to be victorious.
By not having debt piled up and being a slave to your job for instance, puts you in the drivers seat.
You call the shots when you work and how you work.
Your life will be directly affected by how much control you feel you have over it.
Get started today in building a life that is more self reliant on you instead of a handout or hoping someone else comes through in your life.
Self reliance is truly all about living strong, independent and free.
