  • I ask retired seniors in their 60s, 70s, and 80s what their biggest mistakes and regrets are, how it feels to be their age, what advice they'd give to someone younger than them, and so much more. Filmed in Montreal, Canada, and New York City, USA.

    My mother died of cancer when she was 48. On her deathbed she offered her regrets: "I hate that I spent so much time at work and didn't get to know my children. I hate that I spent so much time dieting and didn't get to eat my favorite foods. I hate that I spent so much time worrying about whether the house was clean. I hate that I spent so much time worrying about what people who didn't care about me thought about me. Just have a peaceful life; nothing else matters."

      Yep, that comment stuck with me, also. Happiness is not guaranteed. For most of human existence life has been a struggle and happiness was of secondary importance, surviving was the priority. Just within the past 100 years or so has humanity advanced to the point to where daily life has become much easier, with various creature comforts that were unknown to previous generations. Opportunities are much more available to the average person these days. Yet, we have an epidemic where some folks are trying to escape their reality through drugs, alcohol, gambling, pornography, even social media. Strength of character is forged in adversity.

      I wish I could STOP worrying but I’ve been a worrier since I was a youngster. I was a hypochondriac so they said when I was a child and I’m falling right back into that title and it’s not like I want to, it’s just my makeup I suppose. Although I was raised by my dad he was a worry wart and he would say things like I’m gonna die and I would end up freaking out over stuff he was saying so I think he caused me to be that way but I’m not totally sure and I’ll tell you what if you can live life without worrying then you’re one lucky or shall I say you’re one blessed person because it’s horrible to worry about everything as I do I worry about my health and that’s probably why my health is been suffering for the last seven years.
      If I could change it I most definitely would.
      But right now I have a lot of health issues going on and I’m only 61 years old and I’m about to have surgery on my gums and I am stressing over that and I have leaky gut and any amount of money I have saved is all going towards my health issues and believe me I don’t have much money and I don’t trust medical doctors all they do is push drugs on you without finding the root cause of your problems so I worry about doctors and hospitals and try to stay away from both of them

    I'm 74 years of age. The two most recurring themes in this video of older peoples' advice for younger people is, "Do not care as much what others think of you.", and "Do not delay doing what you want to do in life." I can say these two pieces of advice are actually connected. In other words, we often delay pursuing our actual passions because we fear judgment from friends and family about choosing a less "regular" path in life. And conversely, we often do things we aren't actually passionate about just to appease the judgment of others. One of the hardest things to do in life is to cross the valley from your social support shaming or judging you for not being who they want anymore, to the beautiful place on the other side where a different social support network arises who love you because of your identity in the life you ACTUALLY are choosing out of passion and love. Life is short. Begin that shift as soon as possible.

It is a surreal feeling because on the inside, the mirror inside your mind, you are the same person you were at twenty, just with loads more experience. When you are young, you think you are going to feel like a totally different person when you hit old age, but you don't. I think people over 60 should wear a badge with pix of their 25 year old self on it. THAT's who you are talking to...not the person with grey hair, wrinkles and dentures...that picture is who that person is still, on the inside. My 101 year old Gram says the same. 😅

    I’m in my late 40s. Not nearly as old or wise as these seniors but the biggest regret I have is worrying so much about aging. If you really invest time and energy into taking care of yourself, aging doesn’t have to be a difficult process. This requires being brutally honest with yourself about how healthy your diet really is, if you’re really exercising as much as you should (cardio is not enough! You need to weight lift), how well you cope with stress etc. You can get away with “abusing” your body in your 20s but it really does catch up with you in your 30s and especially 40s.

    I'm on the cusp of turning 60. In addressing my biggest regret I'd like to offer young people my best advice. I made the mistake of thinking something was wrong with me because I wasn't like everybody else. It affected my self-esteem for a very long time and cost me many opportunities over that time span. It took a long time before I realized I had a lot to offer the world by being the real me. Though the sum of your experiences in life will shape your character, you were born exactly as you were meant to be. Embrace the real you.

    The most important thing in my life was to be my own person. Every hobby that I fell in love with I made my occupation at some point in time. I did still manage to marry and raise a family. But the best advise I gave my children as they were growing up was to do and be what they wanted, not what anyone else wanted. They are all successful and have great families. I followed what I loved at the time and had careers as a auto body repair person who opened his own shop, at 42 years old I became a flight instructor and charter pilot, as I alwyas loved flying. I also had a great love of music and played classical and jazz guitar all of my life since I was 15, so naturally I taught and did some playing in various venues. At 60 I became a minster and started a wedding's business. I married over 800 couples and also had a small church. At the same time I became a DJ and karaokee artist for the weddings business. After I retired I started a small home repair business to make a few extra dollars. I had always done my own repairs so I made a few extra dollars to supplement my SS checks. My best advise at 81, do what you love and the money will follow. You will also die happy, although I am not in a hurry.

No, that's not why, I did it because I've enjoyed a life of great health and having the ability to do anything physical that I desired. Today I'm 8 lbs heavier than I was at my peak condition and I'm still active. Living long is not the only goal, it's living well and enjoying the abilities that come with being fit.

    Great conversation. I am 63. Both of my parents have passed on. Both sets of grandparents were immigrants. My mother's parents came to America from Ukraine. My father's parents came here from Italy. Both of my parents spoke their languages fluently with their siblings and parents, but because they married and didn't understand the other language, they only spoke English at home. I could have learned to speak Ukrainian/Russian AND Italian and I regret never even asking them to teach me.

While technology and such has changed a lot humans have not, and the human condition is still what rules the world.

      It's not uncommon for people to look back on their lives and realize that their parents were right about many things. It can be difficult to appreciate the wisdom and guidance of our parents when we are young and eager to assert our independence, but as we gain more life experience, we often begin to see the value of their advice.
      It's important to remember that parents usually have their children's best interests at heart, and that their advice is often based on their own experiences and lessons learned. While it's natural to want to forge our own path in life, it's also important to listen to the advice and guidance of those who have come before us.
      It's never too late to learn from the lessons and experiences of our parents, and to honor their memory by living our lives with integrity, compassion, and purpose. By embracing the values and principles that our parents instilled in us, we can continue to grow and learn throughout our lives, and make a positive impact on those around us.

First I did it alone, then with my wife and my kid. Frankly I have spent way too much of my budget on this, my parents and some friends telling me 'oh, you'd rather get a loan, buy a house, a nicer bigger car, stop spending your time and money on this bla bla'.
    Now we're locked up in war torn Ukraine where you can only shuttle between some shops and your home hiding from the russian missile raids (it's that 'meteor' the old guy was talking about) and I'm really happy I did what brought me and my family joy and happiness.

      @@mw3027 That depends on what kind of mistakes people make. Some mistakes have lifelong consequences which do affect people’s future lives. Such mistakes may even be the cause of how people die. For instance, drug abuse is a mistake that can affect one’s health even after they quit using drugs. Past drug abuse can lead to illnesses such as kidney failure, heart failure, etc. Killing someone could land a person in prison for the rest of their lives. So some mistakes do define one’s future.
