You might look at the list above and think it negative for you now. Its not at all. This is the prize for living to this age. You likely have some friend or family that died before 40. You are here to see this part of your life. Make sure you're still here to see 50, 60, 70, with as much of your body and mind as you can.
Good luck!
I tell myself every day that I'm not working out for my beach body, I'm working out for my old lady body. I just want to be able to tie my own shoes when I'm 70.
This is a great way to frame it. Thank you.
You've got more lofty goals than I do. :)
I'd just like to extend the years I'm able to go to the bathroom by myself without another human required to help me relieve myself.
They were discussing this on the radio the other day - one of the key things is being able to get out of a chair without using your hands.
I think there's a lot of value in just lying down on the floor and getting up like ten times a day. Being unable to get up after a fall is a huge problem for older people.
I'm only 31, but I'm going to do all of these things anyway.
It's advice you should probably start following as early as possible - that way you are in a better place to head off any future unpleasantness.
Still socialize and hang out. It is very helpful for your mind. Do hobbies and stuff.
Having gone through probate with my Dad’s Will, I learned that you want to do as much as possible to avoid probate altogether. Trusts and/or Quitclaim deeds or other instruments that an estate planner can setup can make the whole process alot smoother. Otherwise a Will isn’t the ironclad document you may think it is, it’s more like just a set if guidelines.
This is true wisdom right here.
Nice to see this instead of a meme. I came here to meme. I suck.
This is all such sound advice, I hope all young people in this thread take it to heart!
