Older Guys...what product/service could I sell you?

Just some market research...
Any suggestions for a product or service (to sell online) that would likely win with this demographic?
(Some serious suggestions would be appreciated)

Foreign real estate. I am in my 50s and married a girl two decades younger. We are building our dream house in the Philippines. To do the same thing stateside would probably cost three times as much. I have my own plan but a location-independent franchise would go along with that.
Option 2 is a fitness system/program/outlet for older men. I am ex-military. I was trained by the airborne. I could do 100 pushups or situps and run like a rabbit even with a 50 pound ruck sack. Now? Not so much. I am taking some steps to cut weight, lift and run but it is hard.
Option 3: electric motorcycles. They are cool and trendy. I was looking at doing that myself but the buy in is 5 units or so. What does this have to do with older guys? Come on! Every guy over the age of 45 wants a motorcycle .
The problem is that thoughtful men my age have everything they need, or at least they know where to get it.

Wealth advisory services.
Tax minimisation strategies.
Anti-aging drugs and therapies.
A yacht.
More free time.
An opportunity to wind back the clock and un-do the weird depressive episode where I was underemployed, drunk and destructive. What a waste that was! (ha!)

A travel themed "seeking arrangement" site filtered for fun, non bitchy girls that want to see the world with a cool guy, and don't want an arab backing one out on her chest.

I tend to agree with the Foreign Real Estate, most now seem to be like used car salesmen. I love looking, but would never buy from any of the places I found because they all come off as shady.

This is a phenomenal idea.

- Anti-aging
- Libido enhancing (not mutually exclusive from anti-aging)
- Hair loss
- Fitness/workout routines
- Luxury watches
- Luxury cars
- Boats
- Foreign real estate
- Second homes on a lake, ski mountain, in the middle of fucking nowhere so everybody leaves me the hell alone and I can hang out with my dog and play with my plot of land
- Hunting/fishing
- Fine wine and liquor
- Cocktails and accessories
- Cigars and accessories
- Fine clothing (I'm starting to get too old to wear Patagonia surf wear)
- Cologne (after eschewing colognes for almost two decades, Jeremy from Germany has gotten me hooked again on colognes)
- Non-team sports, e.g, golf, skiing, surfing, etc.
- Exclusive memberships, e.g., share of private jet, cat skiing in Canada, member of private golf club, social clubs with actually interesting people and not fucking snobs
- Investment advisory
- Real estate investment
All of this is caveated with the fact that I've just turned 40. And mostly I don't care about these things since I have a young family and have a fixer-upper house. But when I have money to burn I generally tend towards this list.

I'm not old, but the older I get, the more I appreciate doing business with people who have anticipated my needs. My patience for having to tell people what to do all the time, gets less and less.

In my 40s.
Hera are a few things I believe might be needed:
1. Kids relations guide
I'm doing good, but the amount of drama and hell I see between adolescent kids and their parents is mind blowing.
2. Financial/Retirement schemes
I see a lot of people that have none. This is a semi-untapped market.
3. Supplements
This should be addressing a specific niche within "old age". You probably need to also localize.
4. Recreation
People are lazy and look for entertainment. If you can supply that in a form of games, activities or whatever

Anything relating to nostalgia.
Successful sales are predicated on pulling heart strings, and there is nothing more powerful than appealing to a sense of nostalgia, whatever form that takes.
