Tech Job Market Turns Brutal — Seasoned tech workers face long job hunts as layoffs roll on at giants like Microsoft and Amazon. Recruiters report rising age bias, fewer senior roles, and “underleveling” push veterans into lower-pay jobs, with searches now stretching 12–18 months for many—even with decades of experience.

Redwood Trims After Mega-Round — Despite a fresh $350M raise, Redwood Materials reportedly cut ~5% of its workforce. Roles in battery ops and cathode manufacturing may shift as AI-driven energy storage reshapes hiring needs, signaling tighter competition—and reskilling chances—for clean-tech professionals.

Amazon Blocks New York Labor Law — Amazon won a court injunction halting a New York rule that let state officials hear private-sector labor cases. For workers, union disputes now stay stuck at the federal board, delaying rulings on firings, elections, and contracts—and prolonging workplace uncertainty.

Keep Moving, Stay Purposeful — At 88, Morgan Freeman credits longevity to daily movement, gym routines, and purpose—echoing friend Clint Eastwood’s mantra, “Don’t let the old man in.” He stays active with golf, keeps working, and says consistency—not accolades—fuels his 60-year career and health.

Tariffs Rattle Small Retailers — Tariffs tied to Trump’s trade policy with China are disrupting holiday inventories for small U.S. retailers, many operating at a fraction of needed stock. Analysis shows operating margins for smaller retailers have plunged into negative territory, leaving over a third at high risk of bankruptcy.

Puma Pops on Takeover Talk — Shares of Puma jumped ~19% after reports that China’s Anta Sports is exploring a bid. With stock down over 50% YTD, investors are pricing in M&A optionality and a potential turnaround catalyst—though no deal is confirmed and execution risk is high.

Apple Fights India’s Mega Fine — Apple is contesting India’s antitrust rules that could trigger a $38B penalty if global turnover is used. The outcome may reshape Big Tech risk in fast-growing markets and sway valuation multiples tied to regulatory exposure, especially for firms scaling hardware and app ecosystems.

BIS Flags Bond-Market Leverage Risk — BIS warns that hedge-fund leverage in government bonds is rising as debt climbs. Incoming chief Pablo Hernández de Cos urges tighter rules, central clearing and mandatory collateral haircuts—to curb instability from highly leveraged trades. Markets may reprice risk if regulators act.

Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving — a moment many of us used to pause, reflect, and feel grateful. And it’s no coincidence that gratitude shows up in scientific studies as a real ingredient of healthy aging. Recent research shows gratitude isn’t just good for the soul — it may actually help us live better lives longer. Gratitude can reduce stress, improve sleep, protect cardiovascular health, and even support longevity.

But long, vibrant lives need more than mindset — they thrive on healthy habits. A 2025 global review on healthy aging highlights regular physical activity, balanced nutrition, and consistent lifestyle care as key to delaying physical decline and sustaining health well into old age. Another recent study shows even older adults (60+) can significantly reclaim well-being with exercise, healthy diet, and mindful lifestyle changes within a few years.

Still, aging well isn’t just about physical strength — it’s also about purpose, connection, and mental wellness. According to the 2025 “World Longevity Summit” report, true long-term wellness rests on four pillars: meaningful social bonds and communication, a nutritious diet, daily physical activity, and a sense of “ikigai” — or purpose in life.

Putting this all together — especially as a member of Gen Z or Millennial generations — means thinking ahead now, while still enjoying youth. It doesn’t demand perfection. Simple moves like a short daily gratitude moment, weekly exercise, balanced meals, and staying connected socially build a foundation that gets stronger over time.

So here’s the message: aging doesn’t have to feel like decline, betrayal, or loss. It can be a journey of strength, clarity, connection, and purpose. If you care for your body, feed it well, nourish your mind with gratitude, and stay connected — you’re not just adding years. You’re building a life worth living at any age.
