Our new acronym for all of us SINGLE WORKING WOMEN IN OUR FABULOUS FIFTIES.
Swiffties
I like it. It has a good ring to it.I've been a Yuppie "Young Urban Professional", back in the 80's living and working in Miami Florida, pre-kids. I was a Dink, Double income No Kids, again, back in the 80's. I never was a "Hippie"..... I grew up in the seventies....missed the 60's cool period altogether! I definitely was a "Preppy" in college in the early 80's..wore the turtleneck and crew neck sweaters, attended fraternity parties. Yes I defnitely made the "preppy" scene in college.
But now, in my fifties, I am going to coin the term, Swifftie.
We are not our mother's or grandmother's fifties. We are a product of the new digital technology age. Right in there with Facebook and Instagram and Twitter, and we will keep on learning as long as it's available to us! We are not afraid to get in there with our young millenial kids...we learn from them and they in turn learn the value of endurance, strength and life experiences from us!
