How to start investing at 50? Increased longevity brings autonomy and requires responsibility

extra31 August 2026 at 16:45

Consumption by Brazilians over 50 is expected to more than double by 2044, rising from R$ 1.8 trillion in 2024 to R$ 3.8 trillion, representing 35% of GDP. This information comes from the "Silver Brazil" study, conducted by consulting firm Data8.

This generation is economically active and has a longer life expectancy than their parents, which means more financial choices to make. Many people in this age group continue working, making plans, consuming, traveling, and taking care of their families.

Antônio Leitão, from the MAG Longevity Institute, highlights that this phase brings both opportunity and responsibility. With more years ahead, it is possible to review choices and make room for new projects, but it is also necessary to have financial awareness to manage this prolonged autonomy.

European Union suspends imports of Brazilian meat starting Thursday

The European Union announced that it will suspend starting Thursday the imports of beef, poultry meat, eggs, and honey from Brazil. The European Commission justifies the measure due to insufficient guarantees from Brazil regarding compliance with European standards against the abusive use of antibiotics in livestock. The spokesperson for the European Executive stated that Brazil is an important partner of the EU and that they are working constructively with Brazilian authorities to ensure compliance with the requirements, allowing the resumption of exports after such compliance is demonstrated. Brussels did not provide a timeline for the normalization of imports.
