    I am not limiting myself in any way as I turn 55 this year. Life is a never-ending school of thought. Perhaps explaining in what context you are asking for these topics would be helpful?

    Would it be helpful to ask folks over 55, the real users/customers. People change and so do the activities/skills they want to learn.

      You are correct, we are capturing that data as well. But it would also help to understand what the younger generation is thinking.

        got it. Are u location constraint for this poll. if not i would be happy to ask my parents and let you know what they think :)

        1. 1

          No not at all location is not a constraint. Sure it would be really great if you ask them.

    "I have often thought that if heaven had given me choice of my position and calling, it should have been on a rich spot of earth, well watered, and near a good market for the productions of the garden. No occupation is so delightful to me as the culture of the earth, and no culture comparable to that of the garden. Such a variety of subjects, some one always coming to perfection, the failure of one thing repaired by the success of another, and instead of one harvest a continued one through the year. Under a total want of demand except for our family table, I am still devoted to the garden. But though an old man, I am but a young gardener."

    I think gardening is the perfect retirement obsessio––err, hobby. :D Granted, it'll be a while until I'm to 55.

      Indeed gardening is soul-enriching​ activity :)

    Many folks at or near retirement age are looking to be productive and find a new fulfilling job or start a small biz they can run on their new free schedule. Basically a side hustle when the main hustle has ended.

    As someone who is turning 55 this year, I am not limiting myself to anything. Life is continual learning. Perhaps specifying in what context you are asking for these topics might help?

    1. 2

      That is really great to hear that you will not limit yourself to anything. We are a skill development platform for seniors. We want to capture what are the most important skills someone of the age of 55+ would want to learn.
