How A 95-Year-Old Lighthouse Keeper Lives A Long & Happy Life

[@NoirInColor]

This man has no signs of Dementia or Alzheimer’s, can walk up over 200 stairs daily (up until recently), and can hear, speak and read, I only hope that I can live a life as healthy as he is at that age. Many people seek wealth and in the process of achieving that - they forgo their health. Very moving piece CNBC. (For the record, my grandmother has Dementia (and is in her 90s as well) but is still hanging on strong.)

Buddy Grover is such an inspiration. He was at the top of Absecon Lighthouse during my first climb there. I still have my “I Saw The Light” card signed by him.

[@CaptainArloNJ]

Met him on my climb of Absecon too. I remember being humbled as I was short of breath when I got to the top and here was a 92 (at the time) old man already there greeting me. Spoke with him for at least and hour and he was such a joy to talk to. Such an inspirational figure.

[@PinkHypatia]

The reason his dreams are mundane is because he’s at total peace with himself. He’s lived a full life, treated people kindly, fulfilled some dreams. So he’s not burdened by any fears or regrets, and he’s not seeking any dreams to fulfill.

[@penguinwithwifi]

I admire this man greatly. Such a good human being. He’s lived well with gratitude, and he is at peace with himself.

[@kylemaolinson9417]

this man emits happiness. I see why he lives long.

[@007Julie]

He’s so content with what he has in life, we all need to be as grateful and content as he is.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

you can be happy and content and die young. there is no correlation or causation. it's genetics but happiness helps.

[@alishasuz]

Pay this adorable man!!!

[@PinkHypatia]

Yeah, how could they let a 96 y/o man work for free?

[@amsthe3rd]

This gentleman is soaked in gratitude and presence of self. Ninety-six years of seizing the moment! God bless him.

[@VarsVerum]

Nothing much else to say other than "He's a good man".

[@tracymorgan5386]

He is absolutely precious and has a very beautiful smile. God bless him.

[@booboolucero]

God bless him. So sweet

[@ghh10186]

Living a good life doesn’t necessarily mean a fat bank account and this man personifies this. What a great video and man. Do what makes you happy, it’s that simple. Everything else will fall in place.

[@MaryRalladi]

One of the best episodes yet! Hearing buddy's story gave me strength and hope. Thank you buddy for sharing your story

[@avgholson8143]

One of my favorite features from CNBC. Please do more like this!

[@EliasMendozaTV]

Oh man, oh man oh man, I’m i’m taking care of myself to live that long life this gentleman’s living right now. This is amazing

[@고영환-y9i]

An old man and his lighthouse.... Someone could write a novel about this!

[@curls4theworld]

I thought the same thing! Perfect subject for literary fiction.

[@iamkerenlouise]

God, I love his upbeat, optimistic, keep-going attitude, quick wit, and his sharp mind-----his volunteer work keeps him busy at something he enjoys! Sorry, he doesn't have his lovely wife any longer.

[@Kr_v5]

7:00 "married for 47 years" talk about commitment❤ "I never shed a tear when I lost my parents or my grandmother or my sister, I can't do that" his body can no longer handle the pain and struggle of sadness (he deserves to have the health & the moment to grief his losses) most touching video CNBC Make it has ever made.

[@vanessaandreatta9098]

He is super humble nobody should stress but we should find our inner peace like this sweet man

[@jones2277]

I actually think he might be a prosocial psychopath. They don’t process emotions like most people; they have cognitive empathy and are more analytical and logical than emotional. These people even experience love differently. It’s more transactional. This is simply a heritable neurotype. A prosocial psychopath can actually be incredibly resilient since they aren’t prone to deep sadness or loss. He has a combination of traits that makes him adaptable and resilient, and he has the ability to thrive in communities but also find purpose and usefulness in solitude.

[@missn2021]

What a charming man. Thank you for sharing his endearing story.

[@CheJoffre]

Beautiful story! Please make more of this type of feature.

[@shen3998]

This man has really deep understanding to life,love his attitude

[@InquisitiveLu]

Yes!!! This is me when it comes to enjoying living alone. Independence is very important.

[@manavmishra9071]

This video recalls me about my grandfather..miss you ❤

[@vickinutter5733]

What a delightful human being ❤

[@moneyobsessed]

The only man that meet all HR requirements for the job.

[@carolinam4301]

OMG love this man !!! ❤ He’s a beautiful soul. Respect 🫡

[@KM-pq7sr]

He's what made this country great. Hard working, conscientious, positive, not complaining or trying to get a handout. We need more like him.

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

which country? please be aware the internet is global. the fact that you think you're at the centre of the world implies you're american. we also need people who complain and who ask for a handout when they need one. your country is so toxic it's a joke. it's basically a third world country.

[@Mr1wd]

Life needs a purpose and I'm glad Buddy found his. This is something to aspire to!

[@1927su]

Accept what happens and keep going. I needed to hear that tonight. So profound & truen I’m in mourning but somehow I must keep going. And I do! Thanks!!

[@syljoe8179]

The best CNBC Make It ❤ This sort of peace is truly what making it is like!

[@thedfferencetab1977]

Beautiful. 🙏🏽

[@theplacesigo4169]

Super cool. God bless you Mr. Buddy. They shouldn't even let him be a "volunteer" give the guy a check

[@JonesJr876]

I'm so confused by this video, is the lighthouse the building or Buddy Grover? This man is such a light! 😂

[@Reorks911]

Your as young as you feel. Good job keep it up.

[@user-gu7wb3ij4p]

Looks sharp for a 96 years old.

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

We ought to respect past generations more.

[@career5690]

Yeah ❤

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

well we used to until gen z came along. also he's not a 'past generation ' he is still living.

[@CaseyBurnsInvesting]

@@bluebellbeatnik4945 Hate to break it to you but most of his friends’ pronouns are was/were :(

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

how is this only 4 weeks old with little views? people really struggle with dealing with age and ageing esp millennials and gen z.

[@AmongGangstas]

Buddy passed away this past January. RIP Buddy

[@MBevG]

Loved this! May I be as happy and healthy when I'm 95 (and should I live to be 95...)

[@gilbertnicholas1582]

Maybe the next time i go to AC I'll check out that lighthouse

[@mun3698]

This is the lowest viewed video on this channel as of more recently and it breaks my heart. I’m also trying to figure out why… maybe the younger gens don’t want to live as long as this guy due to the state of everything or believe they won’t. His story is still valuable, though

Great story

[@johnnyanderson3287]

One of the members of the Silent Generation, who had been through so much stuff in their lives (good, bad, or awful) and are dying off by the thousands daily. And the latter will be worse off for it..

[@vanessaandreatta9098]

I want to know more!!!! ❤

[@hppavilionf50]

Is he 95 per the title or 96 per the clip 😅? Either way, kudos to this gentleman for such a positive attitude and outlook on life!

[@samih-dg3hu]

Where he lives i want to go visit him please

[@Announcement2024]

On a brighter note, every recession comes with an equal chance in the fin-mrkt if you're early informed and equipped, I've read folks amass up to 7 figures during these times, and even pull it off easily in a favorable economy. Truthfully, I’d need guide please for a boomer like me to attain such amount for retirement, we definitely need to benefit from this situation somehow.

[@685squad2]

❤❤

[@user-sd1zc8us9v]

I'll put lotion on your back buddy! Such a sweetheart!

[@saulgoodman2018]

Was that bird poop?

[@bluebellbeatnik4945]

why don't americans have much natural light in their homes? it's always so dark in there. he needs the sun.
