The broadest range of futures

Abstract

As we have said, all of our interviewees are professionals and many of them are from the top earning brackets of this generation. In Asia, the women managers we spoke with are truly exceptional statistically. Does this mean that this alternative “road” is limited to only the wealthiest, to the exceptions, and how will the recent economic crisis affect the Baby Boomer’s process toward retirement?

We have no right to assume that any physical laws exist, or if they have existed up until now, that they will continue to exist in a similar manner in the future.

I changed financial advisors, because my advisor said, I’ve been doing it this way for thirty years, this is the way it works, certain things don’t change…and one of the things I’ve learned is to be suspicious of someone who says that. Peter Drucker said “The speed of change is always overestimated in the short run but the magnitude of change is always underestimated in the long run”. I think the hardest lesson to internalize is that you have more time to adjust to change than you think, but also that the world’s going to be very very different.
