What is Grey Nomad Forum's demographic?
Permalink  

Gday...

It crossed my mind today (It's sad when that happens hmm no) 

"I wonder that the demographic of the Grey Nomad forum is?"

Perhaps you could indicate in the poll above.

No need for elaborating comments I reckon ... just a quick tick in the relevant box.

Cheers - and thanks in anticipation - John

G'day John

you are lucky mate, when that thought was crossing you mind you were able to catch it and hang on to it long enough to do this poll.

Better to have crossed your mind than passing it IMHO.

The options don't really cover my situation and I've met others who are similar to me under 60 working..... covers it but not accurate.

So I ticked "retired 1 - 5 years" what does that mean, how about asking "travelling full time, travelling three months, working on the road, volunteering on the road, living on a pension, living on super, living on savings, wannabee Grey nomad"  

Sorry Rocky John, I don't think your questions fully cover the demographics of this forum

Gday...

Ya not rong Dunmowin

However, if you think of the almost infinite permutations that would cover ALL the aspects of the 'demographics' of forum members it would be mind boggling .. and quite obviously beyond the capabilities of the 'poll feature' of the forum. Such as yourself you have identified nine aspects - too broad for a poll on this forum.

I only wanted a snapshot of those retired and those not yet retired ... bald, insufficient, inadequate but helps to begin to answer some of observations I thought I had recently. confuse

Thanks for participating (I assume you did vote ) perhaps I will delve further with other broad questions some time later.

Cheers - John

Yes RL, I did vote, just wanted to high light that there are so many differing aspects to being a 'grey nomad'  The questions are endless.  Good on you for starting the questions rolling... Hope you get some sort of answers answered.

For the record.  The dunmowins are: retired (him) semi retired (her) living on pension/super (shared) work while travel (her as a free lance writer) between 59 and 65. He is peppery but not balding, she is silver and not balding. Been on the road for almost 4 1/2 years. Have no "back" to go to. Anything else we can help with?  smile
