The Theme

What is a Nine-Ender?

Researchers found that people in the last year of a decade, any age ending in nine, are markedly more likely to do something big about their life. They run their first marathon. They quit the job. They book the balloon.

Nine-enders are just more likely to make big, decisive steps, good or bad, to change their lives.
