Something to add is to be grateful for what you have accomplished. I was there for my daughter's first day at prep and 13 years later I drove her friends to their high school formal in my first car from when I was 18 (1967 Olds). Now she is university. I married right the first time to a Chinese woman 21 years ago. The people that I feel sorry for the most are those who have wasted their lives and continue to do so. Frivolous pursuits are a waste of everyone's time.
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Annette Christine Conte is the licensed advisor I use and i'm just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
I’m closing in on 74. My dear wife passed in 2019. I made 2 promises. I would look after her mother (now 94), and take care of our grandkids. My oldest son sold his house and moved in with his family (we have a big house). I became like Uncle Charlie. I do the cooking and shopping, get the kids on the school bus, etc. I go down my MIL’s house (she lives alone) 3x a week to help her out. I’m busy and fulfilled at the end of every day. I’m blessed to be able to contribute.
You must be full of energy and purpose. Sounds like your living your best life. My condolences to your loss of your wife. Brave soul you are.Be your best.
I’m 80, and I agree-nobody is coming to save us, and we have to take charge of our own happiness. It’s easy to regret wasted time, but instead of looking back with sadness, focus on making the best of today. We’ve all got some mileage left, so let’s use it well. Appreciate the life you have while you still can.
.......i am 54, and I've never given a fuck what people think, what people think of me is none of my business, so I don't care about something that is none of my business.
At 59 after a battle with alcohol for 45 years, I got sober and in the best shape of my life. By some grace, I did not do major harm to my body. My mind is not as clear as it should be but it's getting better daily. I'm 63 now and feel really good about my error correction. Looking back I'm done beating myself up. Physically and emotionally it's over. I'm gonna keep on fighting and getting in better and better shape and I'm going out swinging. Bottom line. I'm grateful for once.
Same here. 56 now but was drunk most evenings and days off for 45 years. Glad to have stopped and don’t seem harmed by it. Missed a lot of time though.
“Your eyesight will begin to degrade with age, but your ability to see through people’s bullshit will become a Super Power.” Lots of great one-liners in this video but that one takes the cake. Love it! Love it! Love it!
@@WilliamKelso-p2y So if you get a terminal cancer in the next two or three years is that your God saying, 'your time is up'. Would this be a message from God.
I'm 63. Some days I come home from the grocery store and while unpacking my groceries I'm surprised at what I bought !! It makes me laugh! I still feel young at heart even though I suffer from a few health issues. I get up every day and do the best I can. That's all we can do.
That's not all you can do, first start by eating a Proper Human Diet . Google it. You can change yourself and how you feel just with Proper human food. I wish you the best.
I make and consume 2 assorted cream pies a week alone with at least a gallon of icecream 🍦. Any time ⏲️ of day. Quit drinking 6 months ago thank God. I was a mess. Believe it or not my internals are relatively good. Day by day as they say .
I realize this at 29 when I got cancer , thankfully I survived, I’m soon to be 63 , this gentleman is 100% spot on . Don’t waste your time tomorrow isn’t promised.
I absolutely agree! Tomorrow isn’t promised so live today the best way you can!! I love being retired and I don’t cry over spilled milk! I thank God and enjoy getting up every day to a new beginning.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing.. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
I'm 71, almost 72. The best advice I heard from you is stop worrying about whether someone likes you or not. If they don't like you, it's THEIR problem, not yours. Once I let that soak in, I realized how freeing that is.
@@Priority57 Yes, it can be a challenge. With me, two people who were toxic to me were relatives. Wayne Dryer wrote 'take the labels off (sister, brother-in-law, etc.) and if they were say, neighbors, would you still put up with their toxicity? Hope this might help....good luck..
I'm 53 and I came to the realisation my work was stealing my remaining hours and decided to quit. They offered me a part-time advisory role, a few hours a week, enough to pay my bills and the rest of the time I am free. I took my daughter to the beach yesterday, the sun was shining and the place was almost empty. Bliss.
I’m 54 and I hate work so sick of it. Sucks the life out of my soul. I don’t know how to escape this routine. Praying for ten years to go quick and save for retirement.
My Dad went to age 88, working as an anesthesiologist (medical doctor) ... why? Because he enjoyed what he did. He had 5 years of "full-time" retirement before he died this year (Aug) at age 94. (But, we're from Canada where it's against the law to discriminate based on age. There is no retirement age set by law and no one can force you to retire or fire you based on age. So, he had the law on his side on this one!) On his work days, he would get up at 5 am at the age of 87 to go in to the hospital to have a full day of work! (This, however, is not how I want to live my life at that age. Hell, I don't even want to live to be 94!)
Financial planning and retirement strategies are crucial, especially in today's economic climate. With global economic fluctuations and uncertainties, it's essential to have a solid plan in place to protect your financial future.
Great video, one that folks really need to watch. I' m 50, retired a while at 45. 1 have 35% of my capital invstments in an IRA. 25% in index funds, and the balance spread across other investment accts. in cumulative of over $ 5M. I receive income from my rental properties too. Zero debt and all is going accordingly. My financial consultant has been patient and has done a wonderful job for me throughout the years.
Well with the ever-changing global economy, tax laws and regulations can also vary, impacting how investments are taxed. It's essential to stay informed and plan strategies accordingly.
Please could you guide me on how to get in touch with your advisor? My funds are being eroded by inflation and I seek a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize before I consider retirement @@camela8445Mar
A more sombre way of saying it ... and a bit more to the point is General Hirohito's famous quote: "The world I have known has lost all of its honor. I cannot think of a better day to die."
Great advice! I'm 71 and doing ok. About 10 years ago my father moved in with us. He was 82 at the time. His health was failing. He made it until he was 88. He put a lot of strain on my wife and me. I learned a lot from him - especially toward the end. He said, "I'm not afraid of dyeing, I just don't want to be there when it happens". He died in his sleep while under hospice care. Reflecting on his life, he also said, "it's been a great run". Anyway, thank-you for making the video. It helps to put things into perspective.
I love using those words "its been a GREAT RUN!" My wife hates it. ...but it's true. It is a statement of contentment. She has said to my sons "HE'S NOT in charge of my long term care!!!" It concerns her that I will pull her plug prematurely . Lol.
Sounds like your Dad had a great sense of humor with, the "I just don't want to be there when in happens..." quip. My Dad was like that. Died at 79, but was telling jokes up to the last minute. He made us feel at ease during the time when he was most under stress.
I'm 67 and all of this is 100%, spot on. Oh, I knew most of it already, but it's nice to have it in one place. I'm sure there are going to be much more added to this. Good work!
So when you come to die, it will be the same for all of us. We will all fondly remember the "glorious" youthful years and dread what the future holds for future generations, just as all former generations thought of us. Or, in General Hirohito's sombre words: "The world I have known has lost all its honor. I cannot think of a better day to die."
Morphine is some truly amazing shit I've had it twice in my life and it did make me a little nauseated but I didn't give a single shit ! I can see why people get addicted to it 😊😂😅
I’m 63 in three days. I look forward to every day. I’m all done with worrying about everyday concerns of the world. My happiness is enjoying time with my wife and deepening my faith and relationship with God. I love and appreciate my life today more than ever. God bless us all.
I just have to leave a comment. This video is just so spot on. I'm 67, retired at 58, and have been trying to enjoy life. Unfortunately, a marriage which was not good from the beginning is going to be over. Will be going through divorce after 38 years. But hey, I tried. I put work in, but the past is the past. But now my future is my own. Everything said in this video is absolutely correct. I'm so glad I came across it by accident. I'm in fairly good health, not overweight, don't drink, and I'm just looking forward to the rest of my life. Which I'm solely responsible for. Again, great video, and thank you so much for posting it.
I don't think you should divorce; that idea is straight from the pits of hell. If you have lived 38 years together and have kids and all, I am sure you can live the rest of your life together. It's just your mind tricking you that the next marriage is going to solve all your problems and you will find love
RIP Mark. This video is a worthy part of your legacy. I am 78 and also discovered acquired the wisdom you impart. Thanks for so eloquently passing it on.
I'm 67, & still keeping a positive out look! Playing guitar & going to church, building my model boats, ....I don't care what people think..I'm going to enjoy my life!.. I bought a good used car,..it's good to get around & see people, & do things!
Thanks for this! i just turned 60 and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Our prized possession is every day we have left. Thanks for the lucid and optimistic take on what is important.
Be comfortable with being disliked! Absolutely! I’m 68, retired 6 years, and being disliked is kind of a badge of honor! Seriously, it is freedom! Some people will like and some will not. And that’s okay!
I’m so glad I found your video! I’m a 65 year old woman and I have really been my own worst enemy as far as the way I feel about myself; not pretty enough, not slim enough, now healthy enough, not wealthy enough - never enough in any way. And, also, I’ve been telling myself I can’t do such and such because I’m too old and it’s too late! Subscribed and following. Older females are the same as older males in the way that we feel invisible. Heck, even our own doctors don’t listen to our concerns. It’s like older people don’t matter, to anyone. And you are right about our possessions - our kids don’t want most of our crap so we might as well get rid of it and lighten our load. Also, I love the idea of giving your children the money BEFORE we die so we can see them enjoy it!!! ❤
I've read many lamenting about being invisible - I like it!! No one pays attention to what I am, or am not, doing - I can get away with sooo much more than before 😂
I like being invisible. I don't want to be noticed. For many years I have said that I have stealth capabilities. It's like my super power. Sometimes I feel like closed circuit cameras can't even see me. Maybe I'm wearing Harry Potters invisibility cloak!
I’m about to turn 58, and realised about two years ago I had this constant underlying anxiety and I couldn’t pinpoint what was causing it, when I started thinking about it I soon realised that it was all the crap going on in the world that was constantly getting pushed in my face via the media and people around me. I took the bold decision to start to disconnect from all the things I don’t like, starting with the news, then people. Two years on I have begun to heal, my pace of life is still busy but just feels different. I have no clue what is going on in the world other than the tiny bit of the world that I actually live in, some might say that it’s good to know what is going on around you and for some that may be true, but for me, I just don’t care anymore, I can’t do anything to change the world so I’m not getting involved with the things I don’t like. Life is really short, by the time we understand life we only have a couple of decades at best left to really enjoy it. ❤🏴🏴🏴❤️
Thank you. I'm 62 and am getting ready to retire. My wife and I are selling our house here in the US and moving to Romania (her home country). She's lived in the US suburbs for 20 years and wants us to go back there in our final years. It's her turn to choose now where we live, and I'm happy to do it, as I love that country. I've been a bit nervous about the move, but this video really helps put things into perspective. Thanks.
My wife is Korean, we retired in 2020 right as COVID was ramping up, we talked about moving to Korea, went for a couple of weeks last year, don't think I could handle it there. My wife has become Americanized, and she didn't care for the Korean lifestyle either. Most people in Korea live in massive apartment buildings crammed in like sardines or small houses out of town. No thanks on both. On the plus side the current exchange rate really favors the USD over the Korean won (1383 won to the dollar).
Wow your wife needs to have a talk with mine. I moved to the east coast to support my wife with her job. I’ve spent nearly 20 years working a hellish job living somewhere I hate. When I retire, it’s my turn to live where I’m happy, but she doesn’t want to move anyplace I’m interested. It’s a problem.
@@holdenc3082 Sorry to hear that. I've been very luck and blessed. Both with a great wife and a great job that I loved for 35 years. I don't really want to give up my work but I do need to retire and it is time. For us it worked out. I am very excited to move to Romania, so in our case it happens to be a win win. Of course anything could happen. Risks are everywhere. You just don't know, and I'm not getting any younger lol.
Some great advice. Retired in March. Went from hundreds needing me to no one. Had to figure out who I am. Working hard to turn body around. My goal is to be my best friend and be myself.
Nice !!! I’m 54 and I’ve noticed I’m getting selective with my time . I tell people I have more time behind me than I do in front of me and I want to use it wisely
You are great!! I am going through hard times right now as a 61 year old female Truth! No one is coming to save you, is correct! Truth glasses were put on and when I get through this I will be better for it! YOU ARE SPEAKING TRUTH! YOU ARE GREAT! THANK YOU FOR TJIS VIDEO!
Hi! I’m a crazy Canuck living in QC. Thanks for this eye opening wake-up message. If I may, I’d like to bring about a different angle to your comments. I’m 67. I took on my dream career at age 60 and became a Certified Flight Instructor. I now work at the largest Flight College in Canada training future airline pilots. I travel to work everyday on my motorcycle and go to the gym four times a week. I play golf in the weekend, take care of the house, travel, entertain a great relationship with my sons and grand kids and have the most loving spouse one could imagine. Mental and physical health is like a bank account, if you want to withdraw in the future you need to start depositing asap. If you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s, it’s time to fill your personal wellness account. Keep your dreams alive in a journal. Surround yourself with good people. Your body is your life vehicle, take care good care of it. Make plans. Stay curious. Learn. Love and be loved. Care for others. Hope you all have a great life and that when the final curtain falls, you wont say “I should have”… Jack
Greetings from Manchester in the UK. Just coming up on 60, and I agree with all your observations. Well done on laying things out in a clear, no-nonsense fashion. What's really refreshing is to hear an American speak so candidly, a truly rare event in todays environment. I take my hat off to you sir.
Dr Phil says you wouldn't worry about what others think of you if you knew how seldom they did. I have learned that people and friends come and go all through our life. Enjoy them while they are there, don't get too attached, let them go when it's over. I have lowered my expectations and have much more peace.
After two marriages, 4 children, 2 grand babies….At 61, Im happily single, still work full-time, just started a NEW career as a California Real Estate Agent, walk 5 miles a day, and hike 2-3 times per week. THIS may be the last chapter, but I’m making it the BEST chapter…and you can too!
Thats the worst part knowing its the last chapter and wanting to do long term planning to become more properous seems a waste of energy,so many dying around me at similar age or younger makes you wonder.
I work helping people who are retired. The number one mistake i see is taking their health for granted. The health one has at 65 will NOT be what it is at 70. Not preparing for 70 means a decade of suffering before one then dies. The three things most important so one can physically do the things you're talking about are: 1. Good health insurance, 2. Bills paid off, 3. Walking at least a mile every day. These three are key to everything else.
I have been there my friend, it’s a roller coaster ride, everybody takes this ride on a personal level, no 2 people have the same experience, the ride will begin to slow, at a steady pace, and eventually things will be ok, you have many great memories, and experiences, that you both shared, these memories can never be taken away , you can turn them on any time you want to, you have to make sure that you re prioritise your life, now you are the most important person in your life, make sure that you eat regular, and try to sleep ok, try to enjoy the day, loneliness is the hardest thing to adjust to, but at first you will feel a void, and have trouble filling your day, now you have time to do anything that you want to, I would hope that everything turns out ok for you, all the best to you from Norman in 🏴 Scotland
Retirement is more challenging now than it used to be. I've focused on saving rather than investing, and currently, I have about $400K. With inflation on the rise, I’m considering investing in stocks, but I’m not familiar with effective market strategies.
Given the current pressure to prepare for retirement, I highly recommend seeking guidance from a financial advisor. This will help you make more informed investment decisions.
Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.
Great advice, I'm 70 and two years ago was diagnosed with prostate cancer. After surgery. I am cancer free today but not the man i used to be. So what, im still here trying to enjoy every additional day God gives me.
I'm approaching 52 with a five - six year plan for semi-retirement in the Philippines. I appreciate your wisdom, bluntness, moderate political views, and willingness to share your experiences with others in this format. Thank you!
Karma happens, but no supreme being has any direct or indirect influence on my life. One can't plan for every scenario, but to have no plan is foolish and even more foolish it would be to count on God, or anyone to save you. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.s@@ukulelebutterfly
Mark, what a "GREAT" Video! I am a 63-year-old AA male. And I have been searching high and low for a video such as this. .. 🙂🙂My eyesight, feet and back hurt (somewhat). Dreaming (and praying) for Love again in my life. And, fighting the negative thoughts that nobody will want you (a now "old middle age" 60 yr old man) ever again. Thinking about stuff that happened 30 - 50 years ago. Thinking about DEATH and DYING! SMH Listening to old DISCO songs, bringing back such good memories so strong, that I have to sometimes turn and run out of the room (so I won’t be in tears). You touched on so many things and emotions I have experienced since I turned 60. Thank you! (And, I didn't have to hire someone to tell me this...) Your video is a keeper for sure...
I’m 71 and loving my life. My health and memory are poor, but everything else is great. My wife, who is younger than me, makes me happy. My two grown sons are successful and are close to my wife and me. My wife and I live in a nice home and are comfortable financially. I don’t worry a lot. Not even about my health or death. I do what I can each day and life is fun. This year my wife and I have traveled to Sedona, Death Valley, Sequoia, Big Sur, Carmel Valley, and Laguna Beach. We have been to four live concerts. Even though everything in my body hurts, I still enjoy going places. I’m getting ready for a European river cruise with my wife, both sons, and both their wives later this month. I still have a few friends and family members. We just helped our older son buy his first house, and when his brother is ready, we will help him too. When we die, everything we have will be split between them. God is good to me and my wife and sons. I hope he is good to you as well.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing. My husband was a police officer for 43 years, retired in 2023, was diagnosed with a terminal cancer in his 70th birthday. He has been given a stem cell transplant in January to give him more time with us. We have two grown children and 2 grandchildren. Our son and family with the two grands live 7 minutes away. We are not intrusive in their lives, but they are always helpful when we need them. Life is good, he has been doing well so far. This was his 2nd cancer diagnosis in less than 5 years. We are not big travelers but want to visit a few places maybe in the spring, so many Drs appts. God bless you, this was a nice video.
@@donnawargacki6612 I’m sorry to hear about the cancer, I hope he lives for many more years. I hope to have grandchildren before too long, and I would be thrilled if our kids lived closer to us. I have survived cancer twice, and have stage three chronic kidney disease, diabetes, atrial fib, a rare auto immune disorder, but I still love my life. Enjoy your husband as long as you can.
I am over 80, 11 year Widower, financially secure. The main issues I see today is friends passing away and you can't get any real pain control medications for routine age related problems in the USA. No wonder street drugs are such a problem.
@@samuelwilliams7331 does it really help with pain? I have never tried it but am looking at gummies at the vaper store. Is Delta the same thing as marijuana? I'm confused as hell✌️
🙏 Thank you for posting. I am now 66, lived in Thailand for almost 30 years. In short, COVID came, destroyed all I worked for. Now alone, broke and back in my country of birth. Your video gave me a boost, never to give up. I am now working towards touring all of Europe on a bicycle, starting next year. Thank you 🙏
Well done, sir. Europe's architectural achievements really are something to behold and to my mind, it's unmatched-goes back to a time when people put in the time and effort with the aim of creating something beautiful and awe inspiring. Enjoy.
My Dad went to age 88, working as an anesthesiologist (medical doctor) ... why? Because, like you, he enjoyed what he did. He had 5 years of full-time retirement before he died this year (Aug) at age 94. (But, we live in Canada where it's against the law to discriminate based on age. There is no retirement age set by law and no one can force you to retire or fire you based on age. So, he had the law on his side on this one!) And like you, on his work days, he would get up at 5 am at the age of 87 to go in to the hospital to have a full day of work!
I was a contractor, now I hurry out the door with shorts on and my 2 dogs drive on a dirt road to go surfing , and skate my concrete half pipes at night. Work? been there done that.
If you were given only one year to live. Would work be the fun thing that you would do to the end? If the answer is no, that’s what the video is about…..
OMG I found myself wide eyed and nodding my head throughout the video. Said so simply, but so profoundly. I used to wonder so often throughout my 71 years - why won't somebody somewhere tell me how to live? How to think? What is important and what is not? Like every good thing in life, this was well worth waiting for, and I pray I will be brave enough to implement these marvelous suggestions. Thank you sir.
I just found your channel. You are a great guy and your info is very helpful. I turned 63 this year and I can't believe how fast time has passed. And it seems to be going faster. Keep up the good work.
Wow! It's like you've been watching me all my life! Good words of encouragement and wisdom. I just turned 60 today and its 6 am, sitting by myself pondering where do I go from here but with positive thoughts and your video popped up. God works in mysterious ways. If I would have listened to the older people I grew up around, I could have saved myself years of grief!!
I cracked up when you said you hurt your back in your sleep. That hit close to home, as I wake up every morning with a sore back. Takes a lot of stretching just to get up in the morning. A sense of humor and purpose helps. Great video, everything spot on.
I’m 40 but this is great for motivation. I’ve done the military, moved to Norway and Japan, done the big job thing, been married, earned big cash, bought the fast car and motorcycle, but I still want so much more out of life. Thanks for the inspiration, sir.
I’m the same, 41, army, oil field, marriage, 4 kids.. own business… shit went fast.. I’m realizing the simple life is the good life.. work work work… it went by so fast.. I’m focusing on what’s important now not interested in over 50lbs a week.. ready to go travel the USA the nomad lifestyle… who wants to work tell there 65-70 then do it.. I wanna do it by 50 or less while I can enjoy it
out of all the garbage that is posted on you tube this video is really worth watching! im almost 61 and i know the clock is ticking faster now! lot's of good advice ! thanks for posting!
You are absolutely spot on ! Just turned 60 and you took the words right out of my mouth. Good to hear it from another man and understand that my mindset is ok . Thanks for the vid.👍
My life after age 60 is pickleball, hiking, swimming, gym training. biking and nice, nutritious meals. I keep my distance from entangling relationships and drama. My wife and family are nice but in small doses. And the last thing I want is "help" from others. The most damage others have inflicted came in the form of self proclaimed saviors. When I retired, that was a disconnect from work but also from giving a shit about religion, politics, TV shows or the latest world crisis. I just don't care!
I'm 56. My dad (my mentor and friend) recently passed away. I know he would agree with everything you said, so in a way you're my dad's messenger. Thank you for doing this.
I turned 60 a few months ago and can identify with everything you talk about. I'm not angry or bitter about baggage from my past but as I age I really don't give a rat's *ss what most folks think of me. I care about what my family and those close to me think but folks at work are a completely different story. When I leave there I will likely not see or speak to any of them again. It is liberating not worrying about who likes me and who doesn't. I look in the mirror at myself some mornings and think wow.... what the hell happened? Your body really does fall apart as you age. Wrinkles, sun spots, skin tags, stiff joints, weight gain, shortness of breath, gray thinning hair, forgetfulness. Some of this can be mitigated by diet and exercise but not all. The hardest part for me is losing family members. The death of a loved one is hard and there really is no escaping it. My mother had me at an early age so I'm thankful that I really knew my grandparents. They are all gone now but losing them was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. For me, as I get older I am more aware of how important it is to be kind. That doesn't come so much from worrying about what folks think of me as it does living my life without regrets. I don't want to worry or feel bad because of how I reacted to someone. I try to take the high road and be kind. One last observation: few folks really care about you. I can count on one hand the number of people on this planet who would really care if today I drew my last breath and two of them are my dogs. Thanks for making this video. I can relate to and agree with most of what you are saying. You give great advice. I think you may drop the F bomb about as much as I do.... lol.
GREAT advice. You hit so many points in short order. At almost 55 and starting over after being with her since I was 20. I had a hard time, but finally got my head cleared and am back in the saddle. Never again as far as marrige, but am going to enjoy life, be a good father, friend, family member, and give back to the community. That's the important stuff.
I'm 78 years old and grew up in the 50s and 60s. Yes, we had our problems back then and in every generation since, but the late 50s and early 60s were more like the episodes in Leave it to Beaver, and the movies like "The Music Man" were more enjoyable to watch than what is available today. In my opinion the only live TV worth watching today is "The Voice" on NBC 8 PM, Monday and Tuesday. My wife and I have been married for nearly 50 years, and I thank God every day that we have the life we have, despite the world around us.
Me too and we were the children of the greatest generation which was America's most shining hour in my opinion except for the horrible violent racism... We came so close to nailing but the racism is too ignorant and the wars are just too profitable But I haven't forgotten my pledge to liberty and justice for all
Around my 59th birthday I lost 2 businesses and about 60% of my net worth. After years of stress, overindulgence in food and drink, plus working mostly in front of a computer, I was out of shape and low on energy. Trying to get back into a skilled labor type job, I discovered I could only work for 4-5 hours, and I was beat. So, I did a 25 day water fast and lost 22 lbs then started strength training for the past year. I look and feel like a new man at 60! Material comforts are great but without your health and vitality you have nothing. Yes you can build muscle and get in amazing shape at 60. I have even been approached by women in their 20s...still! BTW I am not doing TRT but have not ruled it out in the future.
I began lifting weights at 18. I’m 54 now. 33 of those years I was a Natural. At 51, I got on “The Gear.” 💉Testosterone. Get your blood checked first. Make certain your liver, kidney’s & cholesterol are at normal levels. Congratulations on your progress.

Mark, here was my Saturday. 5 am woke up and had coffee in peace. Feed my dogs and at 7 am woke up my 11 yr son and made him breakfast. 8:40 we were off to his tennis lesion here in our sub-division. I love watching him learning. Anyway 11 am we were off to the driving range 10 min. from our house and i just watched him hit three racks of balls. On the ride home he said to me "thanks Dad for getting me involved learning golf cause I really enjoy it". That's what I live for, the little thank you's. Right now he's at pretty new roller-skating rink they open near us a few months ago. He hasn't missed a Sat. or Sunday now in a couple of months. By 5 pm I will have picked him up and his mother will be home about the same time. She spent the day at the hospital with her sister and her sic baby and we'll have dinner together. OK, tomorrow being Sunday I will drop them off at Church @ 6:30 am as he, my Son is a alter boy and has been for some time. They normally eat brunch after church then come home. I'll be 75 this month and would not trade what i have for any other life. My man, you have a lot to look forward to in the next few years. Children at our age are blessing at least in my humble opinion. Cheers.
Well you have fun with that i did that at30 yr and now my times is mine and guess what your kid could give a rats behind about you or help you not that I asked them but its the harsh reality of life so its my time now
Wow, what a breath of fresh air and honesty you are. I'm so glad I found your channel. You sir are spot on with your advice and I can't say how much I look forward to your post.
Harsh realities??? What are you talking about? I'm 75, retired, and living in the south of France. I've been single since my divorce 20 years ago. The past 20 years have been the best of my life. I sold my business at 70, moved to Europe, and made many new friends over here, of all nationalities. I have money in the bank. I switched to a carnivore diet 4 years ago, lost 80 pounds, and all my health issues went away. Life is France is wonderful, I have free health care, I talk to my kids via discord at least three times a week, and I vacation with my brothers and other friends when they come to Europe, plus I don't have a wife nagging me death.
I agree, but thought something was missing. Helping other people is vastly rewarding and there is still ample time to enjoy the things that you enjoy. Experience from my past business ventures and multiple divorces leaves me with a lot of knowledge and some wisdom. Passing that on to the next generation results in enjoying watching up and coming younger people have success and/or avoid major pitfalls. “A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, a 0:39 fool learns from his own mistakes and an idiot never learns”. Humbling myself and explaining that I learned most of what I know by making mistakes, so I fall squarely in the fool category. Start off telling some youngster that and you get their attention. Helping elderly people is also vastly rewarding. To see the look of reality in their eyes that someone does care is priceless. So yes, every day, do your workout, help someone, then get on your Harley and ride, or get your boat and go fishing at the nearby lake, or go play golf, or since it’s now hunting season, get your bow and go enjoy a nice sit in the woods. Life is good, until it isn’t, but as one wise man wrote, “I’m not worried about dying, but I am concerned about not living well”.
This video will be my morning reality check. Thank you for your compilation of truisms that we all face. It's sobering to realize that I'm not all that anymore and no one wants to hear about my glory days. You've provided many points that I will focus on because I feel like I'm suffering from chronic depression in part because of lamenting about age and injuries as well as not making the best of the remainder of my shelf life.
I agree. I’m nearly 69, still teaching part time at something I love, but don’t see that my wisdom is being understood/appreciated by college students. So I wonder why bother exerting effort to pass it on when that effort will not have a worthwhile result. They will never care the way I did and still do, so…why bother?
Been thinking about sending my wife back home to the Philippines because she has been in the hospital 7-8 times since we came to America 23 years ago! I have to start contemplating being alone here
It’s all about how you care for yourself. I’m 66 years old retired 7 years Thailand. I’m in the gym 5 days a week, I take care of my body I drink even have an occasional cigarette when I’m out ; but I cook and I’m knowledgeable about what foods are good for my body as well as when what I eat. I have a Thai girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean I eat everything that she does . while I’m not as fit as I was when I was 40,I’d give that guy a run for his money. Every 2 to 3 years I trek to Mt. Everest basecamp to reset mentally. 60 is the new 45. My motto in life is to die young as old as possible 🙏
I'm 10 years younger than you, and like your philosophy of life keenly - and actually also think that vanity to some degree is only positive, ensures that people maintain their best selves regardless of age 👍👍
Absolutely no idea how I found this video but a lot of this struck a chord with me on the approach in life and the heaviest hit was stop trying to impress/make everyone like you. Be you, be kind and the best person. Cheers!
I'm 61. This seemed depressing at first, but then I realized that he is expressing the facts realistically, and then provides great advice. I would want my daughter to find a man like me. So, yes - I am a good partner to a woman. I was with my Ex wife for 17-years. We divorced 11-years ago, and I am disillusioned with modern, American women. Thanks for putting out consistently, helpful content!
Right, I thought the year 2000 sounded bad. We just have to say 70 is the new 50 or 40 or 30. Be what you want to be. If others look at you funny, smile.
About injuring your back while asleep: A common injury sequence is doing something active that is just beyond the limit of your musculature, and then relaxing in a comfy chair. The muscles were holding the injury in place during the activity, but once you are fully relaxed in the chair, the injury "happens". Same while sleeping. As we age, the age related loss of lean muscle mass (sarcopenia) marches on and we need to do some resistance training to slow the loss.
Something to add is to be grateful for what you have accomplished. I was there for my daughter's first day at prep and 13 years later I drove her friends to their high school formal in my first car from when I was 18 (1967 Olds). Now she is university. I married right the first time to a Chinese woman 21 years ago. The people that I feel sorry for the most are those who have wasted their lives and continue to do so. Frivolous pursuits are a waste of everyone's time.
More and more people might face a tough time in retirement. Low-paying jobs, inflation, and high rents make it hard to save. Now, middle-class Americans find it tough to own a home too, leaving them without a place to retire.
The increasing prices have impacted my plan to retire at 62, work part-time, and save for the future. I'm concerned about whether those who navigated the 2008 financial crisis had an easier time than I am currently experiencing. The combination of stock market volatility and a decrease in income is causing anxiety about whether I'll have sufficient funds for retirement.
This is precisely why I like having a portfolio coach guide my day-to-day market decisions: with their extensive knowledge of going long and short at the same time, using risk for its asymmetrical upside and laying it off as a hedge against the inevitable downward turns, their skillset makes it nearly impossible for them to underperform. I've been utilizing a portfolio coach for more than two years, and I've made over $800,000.
Can you share details of your advisor? I want to invest my increased cash flow in stocks and alternative assets to achieve my financial goals.
Annette Christine Conte is the licensed advisor I use and i'm just putting this out here because you asked. You can Just search the name. You’d find necessary details to work with to set up an appointment.
Thanks for sharing. I curiously searched for her full name and her website popped up immediately. I looked through her credentials and did my due diligence before contacting her.
I am retired and 61 years old and diagnosed with cancer 5 months ago. I'm going to enjoy life as long as I can.

Live it up my friend....
Prayers and best wishes for you.
I’m closing in on 74. My dear wife passed in 2019. I made 2 promises. I would look after her mother (now 94), and take care of our grandkids. My oldest son sold his house and moved in with his family (we have a big house). I became like Uncle Charlie. I do the cooking and shopping, get the kids on the school bus, etc. I go down my MIL’s house (she lives alone) 3x a week to help her out. I’m busy and fulfilled at the end of every day. I’m blessed to be able to contribute.
you are a great man
You must be full of energy and purpose. Sounds like your living your best life. My condolences to your loss of your wife. Brave soul you are.Be your best.
People today don’t know uncle charley
@ Or, Bub, his predecessor, played by William Frawley.
God bless.
I’m 80, and I agree-nobody is coming to save us, and we have to take charge of our own happiness. It’s easy to regret wasted time, but instead of looking back with sadness, focus on making the best of today. We’ve all got some mileage left, so let’s use it well. Appreciate the life you have while you still can.
Nobody is coming to save men at age 20 either. It is what it is.
life is precious but short so just enjoy every moment.. time is the one resource we never get back in life
@@charlesharmon4926 but Kamala promised she's going to save me! LoL

My favorite line "Quit giving a fuck what people think" spot on!!!
How am I gonna explain that to my wife though? Oh wait, I think she already knows, so we're all good!!!
Explain that to the police, lol.
Fuck yes
.......i am 54, and I've never given a fuck what people think, what people think of me is none of my business, so I don't care about something that is none of my business.
Don’t worry about what people think…they don’t do it that much
I’m 69 and this is one of the best and most worthwhile videos I’ve seen. Thanks for taking the time to do it.
At 59 after a battle with alcohol for 45 years, I got sober and in the best shape of my life. By some grace, I did not do major harm to my body. My mind is not as clear as it should be but it's getting better daily. I'm 63 now and feel really good about my error correction. Looking back I'm done beating myself up. Physically and emotionally it's over. I'm gonna keep on fighting and getting in better and better shape and I'm going out swinging. Bottom line. I'm grateful for once.
Congratulations 🎊 That's a big accomplishment. It's never too late
thank you, I needed this. me too.
Good for you Timothy that was an inspirational comment and keep it going 💪 I'm 58 and loving your positivity 😎@@ForTheLoveOfAnimals-py2wi
Good for you and don't give up. Don't let your past define you, or your future.
Same here. 56 now but was drunk most evenings and days off for 45 years. Glad to have stopped and don’t seem harmed by it. Missed a lot of time though.

Is that why scammers focus 90% of their effort on the easy targets that are the elderly??
@@JetFire9 Sad truth.
I saw clear through Kamala Harris bullshit 6 months ago. Jennifer Coolidge (from Seinfeld episodes) is 100 times more intelligent.
I'm 64 and still working. Been weightlifting 48 years and feel great. Read my Bible daily. Looking forward to my next 60 if God allows it.
Resistance exercise is the fountain of youth but few realize it.
@@WilliamKelso-p2y So if you get a terminal cancer in the next two or three years is that your God saying, 'your time is up'. Would this be a message from God.
I'm 87 never bothered with the bible and often taken for looking 60 and I haven't lifted weights and I have all my own hair . It's a lottery.
. Eating a carnivore diet is the fountain of youth and keeps away pain and diseases.
@michaelgann8070 if you get cancer it means your nutrition is wrong. If you don't feed it you won't get it. Fact.
I'm 63. Some days I come home from the grocery store and while unpacking my groceries I'm surprised at what I bought !! It makes me laugh! I still feel young at heart even though I suffer from a few health issues. I get up every day and do the best I can. That's all we can do.
That's not all you can do, first start by eating a Proper Human Diet . Google it. You can change yourself and how you feel just with Proper human food. I wish you the best.
Same here
I love kid cereal
I make and consume 2 assorted cream pies a week alone with at least a gallon of icecream 🍦. Any time ⏲️ of day. Quit drinking 6 months ago thank God. I was a mess. Believe it or not my internals are relatively good. Day by day as they say

So Well said :)
I realize this at 29 when I got cancer , thankfully I survived, I’m soon to be 63 , this gentleman is 100% spot on .
Don’t waste your time tomorrow isn’t promised.
...for anyone
I absolutely agree! Tomorrow isn’t promised so live today the best way you can!! I love being retired and I don’t cry over spilled milk! I thank God and enjoy getting up every day to a new beginning.

Retirement isn’t an end goal, but a journey best secured by careful and consistent investments.
Retirement is the reward of disciplined investing over the long term, not just a destination.
My adviser guided me through retirement planning, ensuring my investments were strategically positioned for long-term rewards.
Mind if I ask you to recommend this particular coach you using their service? Seems you've figured it all out.
Melissa Terri Swayne can't divulge much. Most likely, the internet should have her basic info, you can research if you like.
Thanks for sharing, I just looked her up on the web and I would say she really has an impressive background in investing.. I will write her an e-mail shortly.
I'm 71, almost 72. The best advice I heard from you is stop worrying about whether someone likes you or not. If they don't like you, it's THEIR problem, not yours. Once I let that soak in, I realized how freeing that is.
Life is not a popularity contest. I don't need other people's approval. Realised that a couple of years ago.

“Care about what other people think and you will always be their prisoner”

@@Priority57 Yes, it can be a challenge. With me, two people who were toxic to me were relatives. Wayne Dryer wrote 'take the labels off (sister, brother-in-law, etc.) and if they were say, neighbors, would you still put up with their toxicity? Hope this might help....good luck..
I'm 53 and I came to the realisation my work was stealing my remaining hours and decided to quit. They offered me a part-time advisory role, a few hours a week, enough to pay my bills and the rest of the time I am free. I took my daughter to the beach yesterday, the sun was shining and the place was almost empty. Bliss.
A rainy day on the beach is better than a sunny day in the office.
I’m 54 and I hate work so sick of it. Sucks the life out of my soul. I don’t know how to escape this routine. Praying for ten years to go quick and save for retirement.
That's awesome. Starts with making the choice to leave.
My Dad went to age 88, working as an anesthesiologist (medical doctor) ... why? Because he enjoyed what he did. He had 5 years of "full-time" retirement before he died this year (Aug) at age 94. (But, we're from Canada where it's against the law to discriminate based on age. There is no retirement age set by law and no one can force you to retire or fire you based on age. So, he had the law on his side on this one!) On his work days, he would get up at 5 am at the age of 87 to go in to the hospital to have a full day of work! (This, however, is not how I want to live my life at that age. Hell, I don't even want to live to be 94!)
When i go fishing now , there is no one at the river fishing area during the week , they are all at work.😀
Financial planning and retirement strategies are crucial, especially in today's economic climate. With global economic fluctuations and uncertainties, it's essential to have a solid plan in place to protect your financial future.
Great video, one that folks really need to watch. I' m 50, retired a while at 45. 1 have 35% of my capital invstments in an IRA. 25% in index funds, and the balance spread across other investment accts. in cumulative of over $ 5M. I receive income from my rental properties too. Zero debt and all is going accordingly. My financial consultant has been patient and has done a wonderful job for me throughout the years.
Well with the ever-changing global economy, tax laws and regulations can also vary, impacting how investments are taxed. It's essential to stay informed and plan strategies accordingly.
Honestly this cannot be overemphasized, helping people mitigate unforseen circumstances and mistakes .It's always good to have a financial plan,
Please could you guide me on how to get in touch with your advisor? My funds are being eroded by inflation and I seek a more lucrative investment strategy to effectively utilize before I consider retirement @@camela8445Mar

Great advice! I'm 71 and doing ok. About 10 years ago my father moved in with us. He was 82 at the time. His health was failing. He made it until he was 88. He put a lot of strain on my wife and me. I learned a lot from him - especially toward the end. He said, "I'm not afraid of dyeing, I just don't want to be there when it happens". He died in his sleep while under hospice care. Reflecting on his life, he also said, "it's been a great run". Anyway, thank-you for making the video. It helps to put things into perspective.
I love using those words "its been a GREAT RUN!" My wife hates it. ...but it's true. It is a statement of contentment. She has said to my sons "HE'S NOT in charge of my long term care!!!" It concerns her that I will pull her plug prematurely . Lol.
Sounds like your Dad had a great sense of humor with, the "I just don't want to be there when in happens..." quip. My Dad was like that. Died at 79, but was telling jokes up to the last minute. He made us feel at ease during the time when he was most under stress.
@alansewell7810 thats a gift
Good on you for taking care of your Dad. I did too and I miss him horribly. I know I'll be with him soon and that's comforting. My best friend ❤
Same thought I have to, but I am afraid of dying and I don't want to know when it happens.
I'm 67 and all of this is 100%, spot on. Oh, I knew most of it already, but it's nice to have it in one place. I'm sure there are going to be much more added to this.
Good work!
Thank you for watching and for your kind words.
For me personally the 80's was better with people. Nobody was stuck on their phones. Glad I lived back then.🎉
Yeah and the seventies,a long time ago now,I guess.It sure went by fast though.
I totally agree. I think the 80s were our best time.
So when you come to die, it will be the same for all of us. We will all fondly remember the "glorious" youthful years and dread what the future holds for future generations, just as all former generations thought of us. Or, in General Hirohito's sombre words: "The world I have known has lost all its honor. I cannot think of a better day to die."
Absolutely! The 80s were the best of times and the worst of times. But NOW is the only time.
Wayyy better. Love the 80’s
Heard someone say ‘if you don’t fly first class, your children will’
Exactly 🤣
I now fly first class 100% …Age 64
And I hope they enjoy☺️
My dad died at 74. He had prostate cancer, but he died after drinking 6 vials of morphine. His last words were, "Goddamn! Thats some good shit."
That is definitely the way to go.
Much better than suffering or a nursing home.
@MCAdventurerHD131 I promised him years before that I wouldn't put him in a nursing home.
Bwahaha! Your Pops sounds cool as hell. He made a complete stranger LOL even from the great beyond.

wish I was 63 again...
I just have to leave a comment. This video is just so spot on. I'm 67, retired at 58, and have been trying to enjoy life. Unfortunately, a marriage which was not good from the beginning is going to be over. Will be going through divorce after 38 years. But hey, I tried. I put work in, but the past is the past.
But now my future is my own.
Everything said in this video is absolutely correct. I'm so glad I came across it by accident.
I'm in fairly good health, not overweight, don't drink, and I'm just looking forward to the rest of my life. Which I'm solely responsible for.
Again, great video, and thank you so much for posting it.
Get the best lawyer you can afford is my advice.
Good to get divorced
You are lucky to get your freedom back. Congratulations. Traveling and do charity as you can and happy to go when god call you
Do you know why divorce is so expensive? Because it’s worth it!
I don't think you should divorce; that idea is straight from the pits of hell. If you have lived 38 years together and have kids and all, I am sure you can live the rest of your life together. It's just your mind tricking you that the next marriage is going to solve all your problems and you will find love
RIP Mark. This video is a worthy part of your legacy. I am 78 and also discovered acquired the wisdom you impart. Thanks for so eloquently passing it on.
"Ability to see through others BS will become a super power" - great line.
Yes Trump is the world's greatest BS er. Thousands of lies everyday.
Your opening line “No one is coming to save you’, set the tone for the rest of the video. Great job!
I'm 67, & still keeping a positive out look! Playing guitar & going to church, building my model boats, ....I don't care what people think..I'm going to enjoy my life!.. I bought a good used car,..it's good to get around & see people, & do things!
I got to say, this is the best video I've watched all year.
Thanks. 60 year old in Florida USA.
This was great stuff. I really appreciate the line about forgiving people but never trusting them again. Very sound advice!
Thanks for this! i just turned 60 and this is exactly what I needed to hear. Our prized possession is every day we have left. Thanks for the lucid and optimistic take on what is important.
Be comfortable with being disliked! Absolutely! I’m 68, retired 6 years, and being disliked is kind of a badge of honor! Seriously, it is freedom! Some people will like and some will not. And that’s okay!
Agree, cannot please everybody.
I don’t like you either
@@elihusmails7401 😂😂😂
I’m so glad I found your video! I’m a 65 year old woman and I have really been my own worst enemy as far as the way I feel about myself; not pretty enough, not slim enough, now healthy enough, not wealthy enough - never enough in any way. And, also, I’ve been telling myself I can’t do such and such because I’m too old and it’s too late! Subscribed and following. Older females are the same as older males in the way that we feel invisible. Heck, even our own doctors don’t listen to our concerns. It’s like older people don’t matter, to anyone. And you are right about our possessions - our kids don’t want most of our crap so we might as well get rid of it and lighten our load. Also, I love the idea of giving your children the money BEFORE we die so we can see them enjoy it!!! ❤
I've read many lamenting about being invisible - I like it!! No one pays attention to what I am, or am not, doing - I can get away with sooo much more than before 😂
I agree with your last two sentences especially.
I like being invisible. I don't want to be noticed. For many years I have said that I have stealth capabilities. It's like my super power. Sometimes I feel like closed circuit cameras can't even see me. Maybe I'm wearing Harry Potters invisibility cloak!
I’m about to turn 58, and realised about two years ago I had this constant underlying anxiety and I couldn’t pinpoint what was causing it, when I started thinking about it I soon realised that it was all the crap going on in the world that was constantly getting pushed in my face via the media and people around me.
I took the bold decision to start to disconnect from all the things I don’t like, starting with the news, then people.
Two years on I have begun to heal, my pace of life is still busy but just feels different.
I have no clue what is going on in the world other than the tiny bit of the world that I actually live in, some might say that it’s good to know what is going on around you and for some that may be true, but for me, I just don’t care anymore, I can’t do anything to change the world so I’m not getting involved with the things I don’t like.
Life is really short, by the time we understand life we only have a couple of decades at best left to really enjoy it.

Ignorance is bliss. The rest is out of your control.
I am not convinced I will ever understand life and nor will anybody else. Not the professors and scientists or our rulers. Definitely not me.
YES!! Listening to everyone elses opinion will kill us. it is our life not theirs
58? Your a kid😂
Brilliant. This should be mandatory viewing for anyone over 55. Thanks for posting this!
Thank you for watching ☺️
Should be mandatory since turning 21. Many good nuggets in here.
Should be mandatory for someone in their 20s
Thank you. I'm 62 and am getting ready to retire. My wife and I are selling our house here in the US and moving to Romania (her home country). She's lived in the US suburbs for 20 years and wants us to go back there in our final years. It's her turn to choose now where we live, and I'm happy to do it, as I love that country. I've been a bit nervous about the move, but this video really helps put things into perspective. Thanks.
Wow, what a brave adventure for you guys!! 💕
My wife is Korean, we retired in 2020 right as COVID was ramping up, we talked about moving to Korea, went for a couple of weeks last year, don't think I could handle it there. My wife has become Americanized, and she didn't care for the Korean lifestyle either. Most people in Korea live in massive apartment buildings crammed in like sardines or small houses out of town. No thanks on both. On the plus side the current exchange rate really favors the USD over the Korean won (1383 won to the dollar).
Wow your wife needs to have a talk with mine. I moved to the east coast to support my wife with her job. I’ve spent nearly 20 years working a hellish job living somewhere I hate. When I retire, it’s my turn to live where I’m happy, but she doesn’t want to move anyplace I’m interested. It’s a problem.
@@holdenc3082 Sorry to hear that. I've been very luck and blessed. Both with a great wife and a great job that I loved for 35 years. I don't really want to give up my work but I do need to retire and it is time. For us it worked out. I am very excited to move to Romania, so in our case it happens to be a win win. Of course anything could happen. Risks are everywhere. You just don't know, and I'm not getting any younger lol.
Some great advice. Retired in March. Went from hundreds needing me to no one. Had to figure out who I am. Working hard to turn body around. My goal is to be my best friend and be myself.
Nice !!! I’m 54 and I’ve noticed I’m getting selective with my time . I tell people I have more time behind me than I do in front of me and I want to use it wisely
Same! Lol
54 here too
Becoming very selective with who I give my time to when it comes to errands....oh and becoming more selfish with the me time
@MadMikeX70 That is why I retired at 60 with some convincing from my better and smarter half.
you have no idea, good luck.
This video is pure gold. Worth ten times more than all the therapy go could go through. You are a wise man!
Thank you 😊 Your comment made my day
Listening to him speak is like hearing my own thoughts being spoken aloud.
I just turned 61, I can't thank you enough for posting this....
I'm 59 thank you for this I've spent almost all of my 50s preparing for my 60s I'm ready
I'm 47 and I'm taking notes. Thank you for the wisdom.
Rest in peace ... A good man .. with great advice for everyone. Sending love and best wishes to his family.
You are great!! I am going through hard times right now as a 61 year old female
Truth! No one is coming to save you, is correct! Truth glasses were put on and when I get through this I will be better for it! YOU ARE SPEAKING TRUTH! YOU ARE GREAT! THANK YOU FOR TJIS VIDEO!
Hi! I’m a crazy Canuck living in QC. Thanks for this eye opening wake-up message. If I may, I’d like to bring about a different angle to your comments. I’m 67. I took on my dream career at age 60 and became a Certified Flight Instructor. I now work at the largest Flight College in Canada training future airline pilots. I travel to work everyday on my motorcycle and go to the gym four times a week. I play golf in the weekend, take care of the house, travel, entertain a great relationship with my sons and grand kids and have the most loving spouse one could imagine. Mental and physical health is like a bank account, if you want to withdraw in the future you need to start depositing asap. If you are in your 30s, 40s, 50s, it’s time to fill your personal wellness account. Keep your dreams alive in a journal. Surround yourself with good people. Your body is your life vehicle, take care good care of it. Make plans. Stay curious. Learn. Love and be loved. Care for others. Hope you all have a great life and that when the final curtain falls, you wont say “I should have”… Jack
Thank you Jack! Words of wisdom. Your health is your wealth, Amen.

@@bernardbarbour❤
It's almost impossible to surround yourself with good people. Haven't met one yet
Not a mention of God. Very French.
Greetings from Manchester in the UK.
Just coming up on 60, and I agree with all your observations. Well done on laying things out in a clear, no-nonsense fashion.
What's really refreshing is to hear an American speak so candidly, a truly rare event in todays environment. I take my hat off to you sir.
Dr Phil says you wouldn't worry about what others think of you if you knew how seldom they did.
I have learned that people and friends come and go all through our life. Enjoy them while they are there, don't get too attached, let them go when it's over. I have lowered my expectations and have much more peace.
Driving at night is dangerous everywhere. Get your shit done during the day.
Yeah he could go to Hooters and stuff during the day!!
Stay the F in starting dusk.
During the day no bargain either.
Lots of drunk drivers at night.
driving anytime is dangerous...
Right on, my greatest fear is hitting a deer"
Omg, you’re hysterical. Spot on too. Im 68 and love my life so much right now.
After two marriages, 4 children, 2 grand babies….At 61, Im happily single, still work full-time, just started a NEW career as a California Real Estate Agent, walk 5 miles a day, and hike 2-3 times per week. THIS may be the last chapter, but I’m making it the BEST chapter…and you can too!
I have had 2 unsuccessful marriages! The first one left me and the 2nd one won't?
Thats the worst part knowing its the last chapter and wanting to do long term planning to become more properous seems a waste of energy,so many dying around me at similar age or younger makes you wonder.
Greed is good 😂
All the best going forward Victoria! Bless your Beautiful Soul
I work helping people who are retired. The number one mistake i see is taking their health for granted. The health one has at 65 will NOT be what it is at 70. Not preparing for 70 means a decade of suffering before one then dies. The three things most important so one can physically do the things you're talking about are: 1. Good health insurance, 2. Bills paid off, 3. Walking at least a mile every day. These three are key to everything else.
i will be 70 soon.lost the love of my life 6 months ago.i have been in in limbo ever sense.thanks for pointing out that i am not alone
You are not alone but if you feel alone you can talk to a therapist.
I have been there my friend, it’s a roller coaster ride, everybody takes this ride on a personal level, no 2 people have the same experience, the ride will begin to slow, at a steady pace, and eventually things will be ok, you have many great memories, and experiences, that you both shared, these memories can never be taken away , you can turn them on any time you want to, you have to make sure that you re prioritise your life, now you are the most important person in your life, make sure that you eat regular, and try to sleep ok, try to enjoy the day, loneliness is the hardest thing to adjust to, but at first you will feel a void, and have trouble filling your day, now you have time to do anything that you want to, I would hope that everything turns out ok for you, all the best to you from Norman in 🏴 Scotland
Retirement is more challenging now than it used to be. I've focused on saving rather than investing, and currently, I have about $400K. With inflation on the rise, I’m considering investing in stocks, but I’m not familiar with effective market strategies.
Are you planning to retire before 59? That's the key factor for me. I transitioned to cash-flowing assets because I wanted to retire early.
Given the current pressure to prepare for retirement, I highly recommend seeking guidance from a financial advisor. This will help you make more informed investment decisions.
Do you have any recommendations? I’m looking for a CFP to help grow my retirement account.
Rebecca Lynne Buie has consistently been my top recommendation. She’s widely recognized for her expertise in financial markets and has a strong track record. I highly recommend her.
This is a scam thread!
Great advice, I'm 70 and two years ago was diagnosed with prostate cancer. After surgery. I am cancer free today but not the man i used to be. So what, im still here trying to enjoy every additional day God gives me.
I'm approaching 52 with a five - six year plan for semi-retirement in the Philippines. I appreciate your wisdom, bluntness, moderate political views, and willingness to share your experiences with others in this format. Thank you!
First of all, you look amazing for 52. Second, what is semi-retirement? I would love to learn more
And then God decides He has a different plan. 🙃
~ 🦋
Karma happens, but no supreme being has any direct or indirect influence on my life. One can't plan for every scenario, but to have no plan is foolish and even more foolish it would be to count on God, or anyone to save you. Prepare for the worst and hope for the best.s@@ukulelebutterfly
Looks like you already bought a wife 😂😂😂
52? You’re a baby
Who is this old guy in the mirror, and why am I shaving his face? This statement is so accurate!😆
Mark, what a "GREAT" Video! I am a 63-year-old AA male. And I have been searching high and low for a video such as this. .. 🙂🙂My eyesight, feet and back hurt (somewhat). Dreaming (and praying) for Love again in my life. And, fighting the negative thoughts that nobody will want you (a now "old middle age" 60 yr old man) ever again. Thinking about stuff that happened 30 - 50 years ago. Thinking about DEATH and DYING! SMH Listening to old DISCO songs, bringing back such good memories so strong, that I have to sometimes turn and run out of the room (so I won’t be in tears). You touched on so many things and emotions I have experienced since I turned 60. Thank you! (And, I didn't have to hire someone to tell me this...) Your video is a keeper for sure...
The DISCO is what's depressing you!
You are wrong, there are women that would turn on a dime for another's kindness and consideration. You have to chase them, remember?
I’m 71 and loving my life. My health and memory are poor, but everything else is great. My wife, who is younger than me, makes me happy. My two grown sons are successful and are close to my wife and me. My wife and I live in a nice home and are comfortable financially. I don’t worry a lot. Not even about my health or death. I do what I can each day and life is fun. This year my wife and I have traveled to Sedona, Death Valley, Sequoia, Big Sur, Carmel Valley, and Laguna Beach. We have been to four live concerts. Even though everything in my body hurts, I still enjoy going places. I’m getting ready for a European river cruise with my wife, both sons, and both their wives later this month. I still have a few friends and family members. We just helped our older son buy his first house, and when his brother is ready, we will help him too. When we die, everything we have will be split between them. God is good to me and my wife and sons. I hope he is good to you as well.
Glad to hear from someone who has a positive story.
Amazing story, thank you for sharing. My husband was a police officer for 43 years, retired in 2023, was diagnosed with a terminal cancer in his 70th birthday. He has been given a stem cell transplant in January to give him more time with us. We have two grown children and 2 grandchildren. Our son and family with the two grands live 7 minutes away. We are not intrusive in their lives, but they are always helpful when we need them. Life is good, he has been doing well so far. This was his 2nd cancer diagnosis in less than 5 years. We are not big travelers but want to visit a few places maybe in the spring, so many Drs appts. God bless you, this was a nice video.
@@donnawargacki6612 I’m sorry to hear about the cancer, I hope he lives for many more years. I hope to have grandchildren before too long, and I would be thrilled if our kids lived closer to us. I have survived cancer twice, and have stage three chronic kidney disease, diabetes, atrial fib, a rare auto immune disorder, but I still love my life. Enjoy your husband as long as you can.
Wise words from the other side. RIP Mark and thanks for all the entertainment.
I’m 51, and when you talked about spending time with your children really opened my eyes.
I am over 80, 11 year Widower, financially secure. The main issues I see today is friends passing away and you can't get any real pain control medications for routine age related problems in the USA. No wonder street drugs are such a problem.
Spot on. I wonder where you CAN get real pain reducing meds for age related pain?
Marijuana.
@@samuelwilliams7331 does it really help with pain? I have never tried it but am looking at gummies at the vaper store. Is Delta the same thing as marijuana? I'm confused as hell✌️
The best for back pain and less harmful then a lot of medications.@samuelwilliams7331
Thank you, that was awesome. Turning 60 next month. Taking this to heart
🙏 Thank you for posting. I am now 66, lived in Thailand for almost 30 years. In short, COVID came, destroyed all I worked for. Now alone, broke and back in my country of birth. Your video gave me a boost, never to give up. I am now working towards touring all of Europe on a bicycle, starting next year. Thank you 🙏
Well done, sir. Europe's architectural achievements really are something to behold and to my mind, it's unmatched-goes back to a time when people put in the time and effort with the aim of creating something beautiful and awe inspiring. Enjoy.
What happened 😮
I'm 66 still a Contractor still getting up at 5:30 every morning and running out the door. Why? Because I Like what I do 😂
My Dad went to age 88, working as an anesthesiologist (medical doctor) ... why? Because, like you, he enjoyed what he did. He had 5 years of full-time retirement before he died this year (Aug) at age 94. (But, we live in Canada where it's against the law to discriminate based on age. There is no retirement age set by law and no one can force you to retire or fire you based on age. So, he had the law on his side on this one!) And like you, on his work days, he would get up at 5 am at the age of 87 to go in to the hospital to have a full day of work!
I was a contractor, now I hurry out the door with shorts on and my 2 dogs drive on a dirt road to go surfing , and skate my concrete half pipes at night. Work? been there done that.
Right on!
You are blessed.
If you were given only one year to live. Would work be the fun thing that you would do to the end? If the answer is no, that’s what the video is about…..
OMG I found myself wide eyed and nodding my head throughout the video. Said so simply, but so profoundly. I used to wonder so often throughout my 71 years - why won't somebody somewhere tell me how to live? How to think? What is important and what is not? Like every good thing in life, this was well worth waiting for, and I pray I will be brave enough to implement these marvelous suggestions. Thank you sir.
Im so glad you liked it.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to comment 😀
Yeah, he really nailed it with the video. I enjoyed it.
Love both the message and your delivery.
I just found your channel. You are a great guy and your info is very helpful. I turned 63 this year and I can't believe how fast time has passed. And it seems to be going faster. Keep up the good work.
Wow! It's like you've been watching me all my life! Good words of encouragement and wisdom. I just turned 60 today and its 6 am, sitting by myself pondering where do I go from here but with positive thoughts and your video popped up. God works in mysterious ways. If I would have listened to the older people I grew up around, I could have saved myself years of grief!!
I cracked up when you said you hurt your back in your sleep. That hit close to home, as I wake up every morning with a sore back. Takes a lot of stretching just to get up in the morning. A sense of humor and purpose helps. Great video, everything spot on.
Happened with me, until I bought a $3500 twin sized all cotton hard mattress. Rarely backaches ever since.
I’m 40 but this is great for motivation. I’ve done the military, moved to Norway and Japan, done the big job thing, been married, earned big cash, bought the fast car and motorcycle, but I still want so much more out of life. Thanks for the inspiration, sir.
Often slow and steady wins the race.
@@woodrmp1 not if you run out of time. Besides, in the end the only race you’re running is with yourself.
I’m the same, 41, army, oil field, marriage, 4 kids.. own business… shit went fast.. I’m realizing the simple life is the good life.. work work work… it went by so fast.. I’m focusing on what’s important now not interested in over 50lbs a week.. ready to go travel the USA the nomad lifestyle… who wants to work tell there 65-70 then do it.. I wanna do it by 50 or less while I can enjoy it
out of all the garbage that is posted on you tube this video is really worth watching! im almost 61 and i know the clock is ticking faster now! lot's of good advice ! thanks for posting!
This is a video I will save and watch over and over again over time. Thanks! 💯%
I'm so glad you liked it 😊
Me too.
You are absolutely spot on ! Just turned 60 and you took the words right out of my mouth. Good to hear it from another man and understand that my mindset is ok . Thanks for the vid.👍
I’m 54 but loved this advice, especially the no nonsense delivery😊
Thank you 😊
My life after age 60 is pickleball, hiking, swimming, gym training. biking and nice, nutritious meals.
I keep my distance from entangling relationships and drama. My wife and family are nice but in small doses.
And the last thing I want is "help" from others. The most damage others have inflicted came in the form of self proclaimed saviors.
When I retired, that was a disconnect from work but also from giving a shit about religion, politics, TV shows or the latest world crisis. I just don't care!
How do you have “small doses” of your wife? Separate houses?
Better get to know Jesus soon sir.
Pickleball and nutritious meals won't save your soul.
@@OG-BIG-SHEPHERD.His last statement😒....reread it.
@Ytorisv okay. Yeah misread it. Not caring will be the same downfall of countless people once this physical life is over
I’m 70 And Still A Rock’en Musician👍. I’m Thankful!
65 here and still Pro DJ'n doing 170 shows a year staying 2 years booked out not even thinking about slowing down.
I'm 56. My dad (my mentor and friend) recently passed away. I know he would agree with everything you said, so in a way you're my dad's messenger. Thank you for doing this.
76 is life expectancy at birth. Once an American man reaches age 60 his life expectancy is around 81.
I didn't know that
Amazing stat
Chinese say after 40 you are probably gonna live long
Ooh, good news
Bingo
I turned 60 a few months ago and can identify with everything you talk about. I'm not angry or bitter about baggage from my past but as I age I really don't give a rat's *ss what most folks think of me. I care about what my family and those close to me think but folks at work are a completely different story. When I leave there I will likely not see or speak to any of them again. It is liberating not worrying about who likes me and who doesn't. I look in the mirror at myself some mornings and think wow.... what the hell happened? Your body really does fall apart as you age. Wrinkles, sun spots, skin tags, stiff joints, weight gain, shortness of breath, gray thinning hair, forgetfulness. Some of this can be mitigated by diet and exercise but not all. The hardest part for me is losing family members. The death of a loved one is hard and there really is no escaping it. My mother had me at an early age so I'm thankful that I really knew my grandparents. They are all gone now but losing them was the most painful thing I've ever experienced. For me, as I get older I am more aware of how important it is to be kind. That doesn't come so much from worrying about what folks think of me as it does living my life without regrets. I don't want to worry or feel bad because of how I reacted to someone. I try to take the high road and be kind. One last observation: few folks really care about you. I can count on one hand the number of people on this planet who would really care if today I drew my last breath and two of them are my dogs. Thanks for making this video. I can relate to and agree with most of what you are saying. You give great advice. I think you may drop the F bomb about as much as I do.... lol.
12:40
GREAT advice. You hit so many points in short order. At almost 55 and starting over after being with her since I was 20. I had a hard time, but finally got my head cleared and am back in the saddle. Never again as far as marrige, but am going to enjoy life, be a good father, friend, family member, and give back to the community. That's the important stuff.
I'm 78 years old and grew up in the 50s and 60s. Yes, we had our problems back then and in every generation since, but the late 50s and early 60s were more like the episodes in Leave it to Beaver, and the movies like "The Music Man" were more enjoyable to watch than what is available today. In my opinion the only live TV worth watching today is "The Voice" on NBC 8 PM, Monday and Tuesday. My wife and I have been married for nearly 50 years, and I thank God every day that we have the life we have, despite the world around us.
Me too and we were the children of the greatest generation which was America's most shining hour in my opinion except for the horrible violent racism...
We came so close to nailing but the racism is too ignorant and
the wars are just too profitable
But I haven't forgotten my pledge to liberty and justice for all
Around my 59th birthday I lost 2 businesses and about 60% of my net worth. After years of stress, overindulgence in food and drink, plus working mostly in front of a computer, I was out of shape and low on energy. Trying to get back into a skilled labor type job, I discovered I could only work for 4-5 hours, and I was beat. So, I did a 25 day water fast and lost 22 lbs then started strength training for the past year. I look and feel like a new man at 60! Material comforts are great but without your health and vitality you have nothing. Yes you can build muscle and get in amazing shape at 60. I have even been approached by women in their 20s...still! BTW I am not doing TRT but have not ruled it out in the future.
I began lifting weights at 18. I’m 54 now. 33 of those years I was a Natural. At 51, I got on “The Gear.” 💉Testosterone. Get your blood checked first. Make certain your liver, kidney’s & cholesterol are at normal levels. Congratulations on your progress.
Thank you so much for this Mark. Every so often I find a video like this the restores my faith in the Internet.
No wife, no kids, no temp jobs, no worries. Best time ever!😊
Wow, can't imagine life without kids and grandkids
@@OceanFrontVilla3 Assuming they are are healthy and happy. Not rebellious, trouble-prone, ill, or drug-addicted. Most of my NYC childhood peers are dead, in jail, or homeless. I spent my youth struggling economically, despite degrees in engineering and finance, and a clean record.

Very sorry you've had such challenges! My 3 are educated, in good careers, independent and well adjusted. No one I know has spent time in jail. Best of luck in your remaining years!
@@OceanFrontVilla3It's not for everyone and most people regret it even though they don't admit it. If it was good for you consider yourself lucky 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Sounds sad to me. 😢
Mark, here was my Saturday. 5 am woke up and had coffee in peace. Feed my dogs and at 7 am woke up my 11 yr son and made him breakfast. 8:40 we were off to his tennis lesion here in our sub-division. I love watching him learning. Anyway 11 am we were off to the driving range 10 min. from our house and i just watched him hit three racks of balls. On the ride home he said to me "thanks Dad for getting me involved learning golf cause I really enjoy it". That's what I live for, the little thank you's. Right now he's at pretty new roller-skating rink they open near us a few months ago. He hasn't missed a Sat. or Sunday now in a couple of months. By 5 pm I will have picked him up and his mother will be home about the same time. She spent the day at the hospital with her sister and her sic baby and we'll have dinner together. OK, tomorrow being Sunday I will drop them off at Church @ 6:30 am as he, my Son is a alter boy and has been for some time. They normally eat brunch after church then come home. I'll be 75 this month and would not trade what i have for any other life. My man, you have a lot to look forward to in the next few years. Children at our age are blessing at least in my humble opinion. Cheers.
Blessed
Well you have fun with that i did that at30 yr and now my times is mine and guess what your kid could give a rats behind about you or help you not that I asked them but its the harsh reality of life so its my time now
I would NEVER allow my son to be an altar boy that's HIGH RISK!!
@@OceanFrontVilla3 If I were you I'd spend more time with your son. Explain the pitfalls he has to watch for in life and how to react to them. Cheers
I am 68 and I intended to watch just part out of curiosity. But I watched it all. Very interesting and informative. Thank you so much.
Wow, what a breath of fresh air and honesty you are. I'm so glad I found your channel. You sir are spot on with your advice and I can't say how much I look forward to your post.
Harsh realities??? What are you talking about? I'm 75, retired, and living in the south of France. I've been single since my divorce 20 years ago. The past 20 years have been the best of my life. I sold my business at 70, moved to Europe, and made many new friends over here, of all nationalities. I have money in the bank. I switched to a carnivore diet 4 years ago, lost 80 pounds, and all my health issues went away. Life is France is wonderful, I have free health care, I talk to my kids via discord at least three times a week, and I vacation with my brothers and other friends when they come to Europe, plus I don't have a wife nagging me death.
BINGO.... that last point resonates with me more than just a little.......hehehehe
No western / westernized wife, extremely happy life!
Excellent!
How did you get free Healthcare? Do you have to be a French citizen?
@@jessejames4967 French law says when get a long-term visa you are eligible.
Thank you for this video! I am 62 and I really needed to hear every single word you spoke! Blessings to you and your family. 🙏🏻💙
Your best video! Good solid advice!
Thank you 😊
I agree, but thought something was missing. Helping other people is vastly rewarding and there is still ample time to enjoy the things that you enjoy. Experience from my past business ventures and multiple divorces leaves me with a lot of knowledge and some wisdom. Passing that on to the next generation results in enjoying watching up and coming younger people have success and/or avoid major pitfalls. “A wise man learns from the mistakes of others, a 0:39 fool learns from his own mistakes and an idiot never learns”. Humbling myself and explaining that I learned most of what I know by making mistakes, so I fall squarely in the fool category. Start off telling some youngster that and you get their attention. Helping elderly people is also vastly rewarding. To see the look of reality in their eyes that someone does care is priceless. So yes, every day, do your workout, help someone, then get on your Harley and ride, or get your boat and go fishing at the nearby lake, or go play golf, or since it’s now hunting season, get your bow and go enjoy a nice sit in the woods. Life is good, until it isn’t, but as one wise man wrote, “I’m not worried about dying, but I am concerned about not living well”.
This video will be my morning reality check. Thank you for your compilation of truisms that we all face. It's sobering to realize that I'm not all that anymore and no one wants to hear about my glory days. You've provided many points that I will focus on because I feel like I'm suffering from chronic depression in part because of lamenting about age and injuries as well as not making the best of the remainder of my shelf life.
Thank you for watching and for taking the time to share your thoughts 😊 Consider moving to another country and being reborn in a brand new life.
I’m 62 and I’m going to work in a few hours. I’ve been doing a lot of soul searching lately on why I continue this exercise in futility.
Because nobody is going to do it for you
I m 60 and I dont see any retirement coming,it just costs to much to live now.
I agree. I’m nearly 69, still teaching part time at something I love, but don’t see that my wisdom is being understood/appreciated by college students. So I wonder why bother exerting effort to pass it on when that effort will not have a worthwhile result. They will never care the way I did and still do, so…why bother?
Been thinking about sending my wife back home to the Philippines because she has been in the hospital 7-8 times since we came to America 23 years ago! I have to start contemplating being alone here
I'm 60 and I am hanging on for dear life to get to 65 to retire.
It’s all about how you care for yourself. I’m 66 years old retired 7 years Thailand. I’m in the gym 5 days a week, I take care of my body I drink even have an occasional cigarette when I’m out ; but I cook and I’m knowledgeable about what foods are good for my body as well as when what I eat. I have a Thai girlfriend, but that doesn’t mean I eat everything that she does . while I’m not as fit as I was when I was 40,I’d give that guy a run for his money. Every 2 to 3 years I trek to Mt. Everest basecamp to reset mentally. 60 is the new 45. My motto in life is to die young as old as possible 🙏
Outstanding!
Well done
I'm 10 years younger than you, and like your philosophy of life keenly - and actually also think that vanity to some degree is only positive, ensures that people maintain their best selves regardless of age 👍👍
Mount Everest every two or three years? I salute you, sir you are one tough dude. you’ll live forever.
Nice anyway have you ever considered Nepel as a country to live in?
Absolutely no idea how I found this video but a lot of this struck a chord with me on the approach in life and the heaviest hit was stop trying to impress/make everyone like you. Be you, be kind and the best person. Cheers!
I am 60 and have another 14 years of work to go. My retirement is in Heaven don’t worry what this world throws at you.✌🏽
Agree!
Same
Amen,I also have the RIP retirement plan.But hey at least I can still work.Cheers
That will last approximately 15 minutes as you are processed in a soul amnesia trap, your conscious memories wiped in the “light”.
@@fearless7424 there is no guarantee that you will be working at 74. Try to retire ASAP.
I'm 61. This seemed depressing at first, but then I realized that he is expressing the facts realistically, and then provides great advice. I would want my daughter to find a man like me. So, yes - I am a good partner to a woman. I was with my Ex wife for 17-years. We divorced 11-years ago, and I am disillusioned with modern, American women. Thanks for putting out consistently, helpful content!

Yep… 👍
At 70 , I didn’t expect to be single . I appreciate your video .
Right, I thought the year 2000 sounded bad. We just have to say 70 is the new 50 or 40 or 30. Be what you want to be. If others look at you funny, smile.
About injuring your back while asleep: A common injury sequence is doing something active that is just beyond the limit of your musculature, and then relaxing in a comfy chair. The muscles were holding the injury in place during the activity, but once you are fully relaxed in the chair, the injury "happens". Same while sleeping. As we age, the age related loss of lean muscle mass (sarcopenia) marches on and we need to do some resistance training to slow the loss.
