As for living in the past I started getting ready to retire about five years ahead. I got a motorcycle, went camping again, started visiting my kids and hiking. After my wife passed I moved states to get better situated for those activities. Walking in the woods is my main exercise. Now, at 76 I’m still looking forward to every day.

Excellent advise! I have been a widower now for 10 months and some days can be very challenging for me. At 75 I still walk at least 2 miles every day. I am very motivated to travel and continue to see the national parks and other fine areas of the country just like I did with my wife. And I know she would be happy that I can still get out my camera and find new experiences and meet people even if only small talk occurs. I am ok with that. There is I have found, a very fine line between freedom and loneliness. She is always with me in many ways no matter where I go now. Thank you for this video.

I saw my parents retire with health problems. One of the things people forget is that the third act of life also typically involves chronic diseases. It's not just a question of financial burdens, it's also a quality of life issue. Maintaining a quality of life that you expect to have can be difficult simply because of chronic diseases many seniors face in the third part of their lives.

Yes. According to Dr. Peter Attica, who wrote the book “Outlive”, the number one thing we can all do to increase our healthspan (The number of year we live but also the quality of those years) is exercise. We all really need to make this a priority as we age.

It can be a household task like doing the laundry or cleaning, meeting with friends or family, shopping, taking a class, exercise, whatever. Waking up with absolutely nothing to look forward to is fun for awhile, but it gets boring. Now I just reserve one day a week for total rest and relaxation.

New dog friends. Because we retired early our budget is not as robust as some. There is a book.

So go slow, be thoughtful, be a good listener. Set some ground rules for the chat. Everybody must listen and not interrupt the other. Reflect back what you heard. Take notes. Say thanks. Sit on what you both said and heard, then chat again in a week. The goal would to start finding some things you can do together as a way to spend some quality time and also work on your health together. Hope this helps.

Retired 21 years ago at 45. Yeah, big change in thinking is required. And that need to change continues as I get older. Need to face reality. I'm extremely healthy but can see my body changing and I certainly can see the effect of age on others. So I'm facing reality. Planning to move to SE Asia next year to set myself up for when I might need help. A live-in housekeeper is $50-200/mo USD plus food. Fully trained live-in caregiver is $1000/mo. Plus as a single man it's very easy to find a great young female partner. World famous caregivers.

It is NEVER too late to start squirreling funds into a savings account or hidden in home safe. I know times are rediculously over priced on everything but it is still possible to save funds for retirement. If still working for an employer! If self employed may need to get creative to save funds! Self talk; i can do this!....then proceed to put a plan together that works out best for you! Alot of times planning ideas on paper helps! Especially for those people that are more visual! Kind of like a road map for gathering funds!
