    My biggest tip is debt-free living, regular savings deposits and a supplemental income. Don’t sit at home watching television. Get out there and meet and greet people! It adds quality to your life. ❤

    Aging is not for the weak hearted that is for sure!! Health is so important as well as financial security. Thanks for tackling these issues. As a single mom years ago I used to always be terrified winding up as a bag lady.

    Hi Margaret: We have to recognize our limitations. Doing squats gave me severe sciatica, for which I've been receiving treatment since June. I fear many things: decrepitude, dementia, death..the three "D's". ☹️ My anxiety level regarding world events is pretty high; anxiety is problematic, even during more peaceful times. Social anxiety is worse now, too. Well, people are suffering far greater catastrophic events than my anxiety, so I'll leave it at that. Money, health, estranged family members (adult children).. "getting old ain't for sissies". It's so true. Thank you, and, many blessings! 🙏🏻 Rosemarie ❤

    I admire your strength and wisdom. I'll be 76 in March but I must say turning 70 was a big wakeup call for me! My husband just retired at 70 and yes he's younger than me. Have a very merry Christmas and thank you so much for your words and thoughts. Much appreciated. 😘

    Hello Margaret. I am blessed to be able to live pretty well for the rest of my life - I’m a 76 year old widow and travel is my fun!
    I never worried about dying or getting sick until I had several losses and medical problems in the last couple years. My husband suffered from Parkinson’s for the last few years of his life and I was his caregiver and would not have changed it. He died in 2021 at home hospice. It was horrible. Ten months later my 52 year old son dropped dead from a heart attack with no warning. I had a herniated disk in January and had spinal surgery.I found out my other son (51) also has heart disease, but under control with meds right now (also has inactive TB which he got from a patient). Around the same time my dear dog, Molly, died suddenly! She was my baby and I miss her so. I had Quadruple Cardiac Bypass surgery on November 10! All of this has definitely got me thinking of my mortality, but not dwelling on it! I’m still living (albeit I won’t be at full strength for several months)!
    Life, no matter age, is to learn, to mourn, to live , to love and to heal! I can’t wait till I’m all better and get back to living!!!

      I am so sorry for your losses and your pain. I too have had some similar circumstances. After all that loss we are never the same but we grow deeper and more compassionate as well as grateful for whatever good is left. I go up and down still but keep striving and looking forward to another day. It has taken several years but I have seen some sunny days again. Bless you and hopes for better days. ❤

    You look lovely Margaret. Firstly, I own my own home, and we have free health care here in Australia. So that stops alot of fears about ever becoming a bag lady.(fingers crossed. I am reasonably healthy, have been a vegatarian for 25 years. However ageing isnt a picnic, that's for sure. My motto is just do the best with what you have, and try and live in the moment.

    Congratulations on your 75th birthday! I'm looking forward to celebrating my Diamond jubilee this coming May. You're absolutely correct in saying that good health is so important in being able to enjoy your life, regardless of age. I have found that I need less as I achieve each level of life. I now focus on quality instead of quanity. It makes a big difference in how I feel. I also continue to stay active with walking, individualized exercises, and using my new bike. Continued blessings to you and yours.

    Thanks for the great video, Margaret. You’re doing very meaningful work here. As for my tips, I have regular checkups, eat organic food when possible and exercise, but not enough, I’m sure. I’ve also had a financial planner for many years and am usually very frugal. Keeping my weight down and choosing a classic clothing style has helped with my apparel budget as I wear many items for many years, refreshing my wardrobe occasionally. Even with all this effort, concerns about outliving one’s financial resources as one ages are very real. My mortgage is less expensive than much smaller local rentals, including small apartments, but I’m not sure how that will work out as my home ages and more repairs are needed. (I just replaced my central air conditioner.) Periodically, I assess my housing options, but I really hope to be able to stay in my current home. God bless you for the wonderful videos you make!

    Love your message today Margaret. We are both doing well as we can with our health. I am my husbands care taker and we are so blessed that one of us can help the other. We had to tightened up spending this year. We told our 4 children we were cutting back on Christmas. I have made some spreadsheets about our incoming and outgoing finances and it really helps you to see where your money is going. It makes it more real when you see it. So, I am going to continue logging our spending on groceries and eating out. We are making good progress on spending less, so it is definitely working. I started in July of 2023 and wish I would have started sooner. We are 76 and 74. Thanks for all you do in leading us !!! I love your top and necklace. Looks really good on you! Indpls, IN USA

    I had a undiagnosed torn glute muscle and kept failing flat on my face unexpectedly. The Dr said oh its arthritis. I finally found a physical therapist who helped me get stronger. I struggled waking across the ro. Now little by little i can finally walk 10,000 steps every other day. I can squat and get up and down off the floor. This year my goal is to get up and down off the floor without using my hands. I almost ended up in a wheelchair.
