    Don’t trust anyone - something my mother advised me a few years ago. She has never been wrong with her advice and I agree. Don’t open up to people too much, keep private private. People have a tendency to trample all over precious things and stab you in the back. Sad, but true

      I’m 74, and I would completely agree with that. When I was young, I was such an open book, and so naive, and thought everyone was good and caring and honest. And I got hurt, a lot. But, I certainly did learn that lesson.

And I make a killer cheesecake. I crochet. I sew clothes and make my entire wardrobe. Currently I am making a 1940s set of garments. I am taking an advanced tailoring class. I sew for others. I make bobbin lace. I currently am learning to knit. I read voraciously. I have traveled all over the world, and I lived in the Middle East, and Romania, and learned Romanian.
      And I write fiction. I taught myself to build PC computers and the one I have now is number five. I am currently learning Linux. A pet project I have going is learning to use a traditional quill pen and ink, and I am mastering round hand, which was the script used in the 18th century. It’s amazing what you can accomplish when you are engaged with life and not passively receiving someone else’s creations. of course, all of this takes time and some of it is slow going. I will lay one thing down and pick up something else for a while. Then drop that and pick up another project. I’m always engaged and eager and enthusiastic to try the next thing or perfect whatever I’m working on.

      @ thank you, but I don’t feel like I’m amazing, I think this is what happens when one doesn’t watch TV and instead engages fully with life. I think we all used to be like this. My grandmother who was born in the 1800s, never stopped moving. Our entire house was beautified with handmade everything and she cooked like a chef. She made all of our clothes and made blankets and quilts constantly. We bought very little at the store because of her. She never sat still. Neither did my parents who fought in World War II. This was what it was like before we became hypnotized by passive entertainment.

He was active even up in the last few years when he was using a walker! He vacuumed out three cars and washed one in an afternoon at 97! He lived life simply and loved his county and hometown! He was a wealth of history of the local area! I pretty sure he was the last surviving ww2 vet in the county! My mom worked all her life and retired at 83! She's now 95 and living independently at her home! She still drives to get her groceries, banking, and visits dad at cemetary! I live 3 min away, and keep an eye on her!

      Younger people need to heed the advice of older people, but they don't get the chance because overall their parents don't always promote the relationships with their children's Grandparents. I have found as an older woman in American, if you don't promote yourself and get yourself "heard" you are treated like Casper and brushed aside. It's the result of raising our Children in America to be little Narcissists. Our Fault.

    Building wealth involves developing good habits like regularly putting money away in intervals for solid investments. Instead of trying to predict and prognosticate the stability of the market and precisely when the change is going to happen, a better strategy is simply having a portfolio that’s well prepared for any eventually, that’s how some folks' been averaging 150K every 7week these past 4months according to Bloomberg.

    I’m 68…..one thing I’d suggest is that money CAN buy you happiness.
    because if FREEDOM and Life OPTIONS are important to you, having both WILL increase your happiness. I’m not talking being a slave to materialistic madness…I’m talking about having the financial resources to cover and ENHANCE your lifestyle.
    BE HONEST with yourself, your talents, abilities, goals. And that includes any college and major. It also includes ANY business you work for.
    Next, WORK your ass off for the next 40 years, the goal during being asset accumulation and debt elimination. BUDGETING, financial planning, etc. is required.
    Find something that you have a passion for…that also supports your life. Strongly liking or loving a job, career, or industry REALLY makes a difference in the working years.
    When you’re young, learn to lean in- and say Yes! To TRY. When you’re older, learn to say NO!

    She looks great for 94. She is very mentally sharp also. My aunt passed away this August at 105 years old. She was very mentally sharp, lived alone until she passed away. About 7 months before passing she wasn’t able to walk any more. An assistant came and bathed her, brought her meals, gave her medicine and moved her from bed to recliner, then in evening back to bed. I talked to her on the phone almost every day. She was an amazing, phenomenal woman. She loved God and her family. She had one daughter, who passed away about 5 years ago, and had 9 children, who had children, and grandchildren. She was ready to go home to God and, said he wasn’t ready for her yet. I miss her.

    What an adorable, intelligent, and well-articulated woman. I bet her grandchildren must feel very fortunate to have her in their lives. I could keep listening to her for hours. Great interview. It brought me so much joy. ❤

    Taking people at their word, doing work that you like, staying active even after retirement, and not wasting your time on marriage \ relationship if it doesn't bring you complete joy and fulfillment. That's how she has lived such a long beautiful life

    I am just short of 70 and I agree with her statement. My experience has been that those who should accept and love you the most let you down, some by small degrees and others in life changing ways. If you are a giver, yet still have self tespect or inherently know right from wrong, you end up cutting them off as easier and better for your soul to be olone. Other people also, in my experuence are either fickle or out for themselves Only my husband has loved me deeply and liked me, accepted me and wholeheartedly done the right by me. My younger brother who died in January., whilst a very different person to me, I know loved me also. I miss him

    Love the good advice, I’m glad things worked out for this very independent lady. Being honest with yourself can really help when making life decisions

    I love that you are so interested in taking advice from people much older than you! At 51, I now often feel so ignored and passed by, yet I have so many wonderful stories I could tell! Great interview 🩷

    I personally dont think living to a certain age is a goal - its quality of life and being spiritually aware
    Happy to live to 70 or 80 but not into 90s!
    This place is not our permanent home - our eternal home is heaven

    You need to interview 100 year old Mel Corren of Stockton, Ca and his Brother Hillie who is 97. Both live at home alone. WW11 vets and so positive and wonderful!

    She has not be married long. Had a career she loved. It is a good predictor of longevity

    I like her. Healthy life like my father's parents and sisters who all lived to their late 90s but with very different ways of life than this woman in Tuscany, Italy. Relaxed, calm, very religious, homebody types of people. I believe it's about genetics, less stress and a lot of luck. Good health creates long life. Not everyone is blessed with terrific health. You have that, you really have it all. May God continue to bless her. She's lovely.
