THE SILVER MARKET AS ONE OF THE 
MAIN TRENDS FOR THE NEXT 100 
YEARS
Studies prove that different ages have their own unique advantages 
and shortcomings. For example, the older generation is more patient, 
calm and less prone to arguments. They have better control over their 
emotions and can more easily reach a compromise. And, amazingly, 
people actually become happier after their midlife crisis! It is during

this crisis that people analyze the initial results of their lives and decide 
to make changes and new choices. After that, they attain happiness, 
regardless of their choice: they either start appreciating what they have 
or once again strive forward to achieve something new.
Life after 50 has three distinct stages experienced by the majority of the 
population.
FIRST STAGE.
 NEWFOUND FREEDOM
This is the stage when those, who already achieved all their career 
ambitions, suddenly discovered that their attitude to work has 
changed. The bar has been reached and the dream has been turned 
into reality. So, what is next? Work no longer inspires. It took too much 
of their strength, though gave back enough too. The opposite is also 
possible: newfound freedom can bring those who have devoted them-
selves for decades to home and family vast opportunities beyond these 
two aspects of their lives. Children grow up and no longer require their 
support. As a result, parents suddenly have a lot of free time, more 
free space in their house, more money and opportunities. This stumps 
many people who are not used to such a situation because they feel 
like they have lost something.
This stage causes temporary confusion. Suddenly, your priorities shift, 
you lose your old habits and gain new ones. This period creates a feel-
ing of emptiness, but then it gets filled with new meaning, goals, and 
dreams. This is when many decide to do something new.
