    I am 70 y/o. One thing I have learned is that humans are more flexible that they realize. I have had several careers not because I wanted to change because I had to. Farm labor, flour mill work, clinical pharmacist, large scale organic farmer were some of the major things I did. I would have loved to farm all my life. But I had a special needs child and I needed health insurance. So I went to pharmacy school for three years when I was 34. I studied seven hours a day and finished near the top of my class. Some classmates called me "geezer." I did pharmacy for a number of years and made good money and had health insurance too! When my son got into college he could get insurance, I returned quit pharmacy and returned to farming. I would not have made all these changes unless I had to do them. And I found I got a lot of satisfaction by learning new things and doing them well. Life is an adventure!

      God bless this nice lady to live many more productive years. In West Africa, where I have lived for the past 25 years, there are many people who have crossed 100 years. Natural food, friendly relationships - it is the secret to long life. Africa has its secrets to beautiful life, and that motivated me to start my own channel as well.

    I am in my early 60s and retired at 53. Lots of people gave me pushback because they had difficulty grasping the concept of not working if you don’t have to. I looked at my life as stages. I earned everything I have now through a lot of hard work, but I owe it to myself to “stop and smell the roses” in my final stage of life. In my case I left the country after I retired and live in Latin America. It allowed me to get away from all the negative things happening in America while appreciating my new environment. I have yet to meet anyone who regrets retirement.

      Nice way to retire. For me, I believe retirees who struggle to meet their basic needs are the ones who could not accumulate enough money during their active years to meet their needs. Retirement choices determine a lot of things. My wife and I both spent same number of years in the civil service, she invested through a wealth manager and myself through the 401k. We both still earning after our retirement.

    At first I saw that she was an MD and was probably quite wealthy and I thought "Well, of course she has had everything one could ever want and probably never had the pain and rejection I experienced". Then she mentioned her husband wanting a divorce when she was 70 and I immediately connected with her because my husband wanted a divorce when I was 60. Regardless of our education, social class and profession, we are all human and have had the same challenges, pain, rejection and sorrows. That alone is enough reason to have compassion for each other and with compassion, grows love.

      I have an engineering degree, am white, and a boomer. Therefore everyone assumes that I'm rich, never had a hard season of lack, and that I owe the world a quick, timely death (nice, huh?) But a gray divorce wiped out my retirement plans, and it's a hellva thing to have to start over at 60. I watched this video hoping this lady could offer some inspiration to go another 40 years, and not just 'endure', but maybe find some joy again.
      I've started a business, and there's no reason not to believe that life can be fun again. I love my daily walks with my dog, but the divorce changed me and making friends is harder, even when I'm more than willing.

I realized I better haul my carcass off the deck before the guys in the maintenance building called for help (lol) Hopefully, that at least gave ya a grin...
      But yeah, all the things I really loved to do have sorta changed as I 've aged. I went rollerskating for my 57th birthday, but I think that was a last time (my coccyx bone agrees), and horseback riding is a little tougher on my knees. I used to like to do all these physical activities (dance, swim, tennis), and I don't drink or smoke anymore, so it was down to the Ladies' Homestead group.
      But same thing - unless you were married with some form of kids, they didn't embrace me. It's like my 'singleness' might be contagious. And yep, all my supposed couple friends/neighbors disappeared after the divorce. It's okay, for the moment, I'll put all my energy into my business. Maybe in the next decades, like this lady, I can find a tribe again.

    One of the things I notice about her is she doesn't get hung up on grief and loss, and I am sure she has had a lifetime of it. That is a tricky one for people to navigate. Grief ages people tremendously. The pain is practically etched on their faces. Finding the joy in living no matter your circumstances is mandatory in living a happy life. There's no getting around it.

      Yes, I agree so much. Living so long definitely had some serious bumps on the road. Like she mentioned divorcing in her 70s!

      Grief and loss are held in the body, the nervous system, though. I never held on to the multiple losses and all the grief and anger in my life, cognitively. I lived on in joy. But my body knew, and I became extremely ill and housebound at 49 right in the height of a business that was going very well, a beautiful romantic relationship, one child going into grad school, and the other one in high school. I learned that when there's a lot of trauma and stress in your life, your body will break down and get sick. Even if you cognitively do not realize it. I recovered 70%, and did trauma work, slowed down, (no choice), and enjoyed people for the play, not for work, I did not push myself so much and did more things that I truly enjoy. But then I got sick again because of the shutdown, a part time job I loved lost, activities that kept me healthy were gone, and could get my trauma therapy.
      So this is what confuses me. Our body holds on to the grief, and traumas, etcetera unless we do so many exercises, inner work, etcetera, to get rid of it. Many of us don't hold on to it cognitively, just like I didn't.
      With this experience and learning about the nervous system, I think there must be something else to this.

    I am 71. What has surprised me is how much easier it is to enjoy life in older age. Often things that caused me sorrow or anxiety no longer upset me, and I have also made tough decisions. I finally came to grips with the reality that some people in my life are bad for me, treating me as a lesser being or treating my dreams with contempt (narcissistic or borderline personality disorder) and distanced myself from them. These are relatives I loved who used me as a psychological punching bag when their lives disappointed them. I stripped much of the complexity from my life to make it richer (less is more). Being a naturally solitary person, I do not interact much with my community, but I do recognize that it has systems that help me enjoy my life.
    Even in my unhappiest times, I have loved learning. That helped me return to the light.

    This is beautiful. You know who else I'd really like to hear from are people that have been broke for most of their lives. I've heard a lot from folks who are seemingly affluent - not all, of course. But, I would love to hear their perspectives. I think that would be important.

    • @jlnapoleon
      @jlnapoleon 21 день тому +9

      Those stories are so hard for us to tell. It’s a double edged sword. You can’t tell the good news of it without telling the pain. Overcoming dysfunction and poverty is rarely ever done, and it has left me with the perspective that any difficulties I face I have already overcome so much worse. It leaves you knowing, you shouldn’t even be alive, so anything you have is gravy anything you loose job house, anyone you loose by break up or other, I’m too busy being grateful for the time I had it with them to be sad about loosing it. I want to be a loving person regardless that has always been and continues to be the goal. I cherish life no one is promised tomorrow and I try to be in every conversation as if it could be mine or the other person’s last and I don’t want to be responsible for that person having a bad experience. I learned compassion. It’s grueling hard work and I find peace in knowing the rest of my life it’s self is healing because it’s another day of compassion and gratitude. Thank you so much for seeing us.

      @@priskruger314 Yes and the ones that are out there, it’s very painful to revisit. Along with it all, you feel guilty for the ones you left behind. You couldn’t save. When you have reached that point of peace you just want to stay right there. Also for us who have been at the very bottom of society we can relate to most once we are self made, but not many can relate to us. We have had nearly every human experience but most have only known what they have always known. At least this is the feeling we struggle with.

    My husband and I were fortunate enough to be able to pay off our mortgage early. We were both still working, and took the payment amount that we had been using to pay off our mortgage faster and we put it straight into investments. We were able to retire early because of almost 7 years of putting away what would have been our mortgage payment as well as maxing out our 401K/403B plans. Thankfully we were taught by both of our parents the value of living within our means. Thank you for your advice. I know it will help people. we are interested in investments that could set me up for retirement , I mean I've heard of people that netted hundreds of thousands during these crash, I listened to someone on a podcast who earned over $650K in less than a year, what's the strategy behind such returns?

      Even with the right strategies and appropriate assets, investment returns can differ among investors. Recognizing the vital role of experience in investment success is crucial. Personally, I understood this significance and sought guidance from a market analyst, significantly growing my account to nearly a million. Strategically withdrawing profits just before the market correction, I'm now seizing buying opportunities once again.
