Important info for physical and mental/emotional well-being. It’s surprising how much we need to retool our lives in retirement. It sounds easy-breezy but it takes time. Good advice here.
Can’t disagree with much of the advice offered in this article by my advice from my own experience is to look forward to recognize you could be going strong in thirty years time whether you like it or not. Thirty years is a long time so don’t rush into things because you feel obligated. One thing I’ve read on here and can relate to is on reaching 70 you start to reflect and reformulate what is important to you. Those material things you’ve struggled and strived for suddenly lose their value. I suppose that’s getting in touch with your own mortality.
Many of us are not the joining type, never have been, that’s me I can’t see that changing much if at all as I grow older and to my mind that’s okay. I am quite capable of keeping my cognitive abilities up to strength I have and continue to keep up to date on current events through discussions and debates on a daily basis through social media, I highly recommend it. I have learnt a new language and continue to expand my knowledge of it.
To end it’s worth appreciating just because your old doesn’t make you wiser or your opinion more valid just because of your age. I’ve always thought show me a young fool and I will show you a future old fool. As we are are discovering about US Presidents.

I fully agree, David. Be intentional, keep learning, stay mentally active, and don’t fall into the trap of thinking age equals wisdom.
Nice to know one isn’t just replying to the ether.
