Thanks for watching! Don’t just listen to this advice, take action on it so that you can turn your dream life into your reality. Here’s a great tool to help you do that: bit.ly/sprouht365dayjournal
Who says this is good advice? Just because some old people have some opinions doesn’t make it right. Take advice from people who have achieved actual real success in their lives. Every loser has advice. Be careful who you listen to. Very careful.
73 years old here, I would say find the right life partner early, trust God, find a career that you enjoy, can make a living at and helps others. Be prepared to put in the work to meet your goals and most importantly love and help your children.
Cardio increases cortisol. Have to be careful about over doing it. If you have poor sleep or poor diet and do cardio you'll probably jack up your arteries especially if eating high saturated fats with carbs
@@Orwellian444not really. Well it would take a lot of running to Raise cortisol levels and let’s face it - most folks don’t have to worry about overdoing it lol. I know many guys that work 50 hours a week and hit the gym every night . Overtraining is exaggerated
54 here and ready to start second semester of my MBA classes. I have never been in tune with my real age. I play basketball everyday at lunch because I feel like 30 so just getting started. Don't care what other people think of me and it really ticks some people off. Don't care. Do you.
@@TrustNone35 Yeah same with me. Don't feel my age, feel about 30. Love my snowboarding, motorbike riding and beach surf. Yes, I couldn't care less what people think, I did once but not anymore and this is the best way to be. I have more energy and am much fitter than many who are 30 years younger than myself. Many are very lazy and overweight nodays - infact in Australia it's become more common to be unhealthy and unfit. Society here at least is in a real mess in my opinion - never seen it so bad, unhealthy and sick people are everywhere.
Just getting the right partner extends your life by a lot. I'm a man, and when I look at the way these old women were acting around their husbands, I immediately knew that they were part of the reason the men lived so long.
As a 30 year old this gave me chills. I keep dropping out of school because I have such a hard time with it but that sweet woman motivated me to go back and try until I graduate, I'll think of her when I'm having a hard time and do it for myself and for her.
I'm 66 and I started university aged 38. I had a fantastic career afterwards because of that. You'll be amazed. Amazed. But if you stay the same you'll just get more of the same.
Read to your children every day from infancy. Not only educational, but opens their eyes on what is possible and drives them to hope, imagine-and have empathy
No way that men is 90! 😮 What kind of sorcery is he doing to look that young at that age?? Can't just be gym and cardio, I refuse to believe it (maybe because I don't have his discipline 😅)
I am 84 still married to my 85 year old husband (66 years). The advice I would give is perservere! Don't give up bc a hardship comes your way! Don't give in to addictions and /or failures! Make your family your priority! Even if you have to work a lot, you are doing it for them! But always be there when they need you! No marriage or life is perfect! Accept the things you cannot change; change the things you can; and have the grace to know the difference, as the prayer goes! Don't give up or give in!
This is by far the best advice in the comments. I would also suggest getting married young have children and stay out of the clubs and bars focus on your family. You will be much happier .
I would say to young women, do not waste your time on relationships with men who don't deserve you, don't get involved with men with "baggage", do not fall out of touch with good friends no matter how busy you get, get the best education you can, do not judge other people harshly, treat other people the way you would like to be treated, and always be genuinely kind to other people and to animals. Cultivate a good heart and soul. Leave this world a little bit better than before you arrived. God bless you all.
Don't let another person rule your life, deminish your worth as a human being. Learn to be alone and enable yourself to make the right choices in committing to a relationship of equals. Have the strength to leave a bad situation. Don't try to control or be controlled by another. Be self sufficient. Don't bring children into your life selfishly on a whim to satisfy hormonal urges, or to give and receive love and affection. Think of the bigger picture re that child's future prospects in an uncertain world. You won't always be around.
The couple in blue, with the white hair were so sweet ❤ She clasped his arm and he held her hand while they answered questions about life. You could feel their love. Just beautiful!
The mistake that most of us make, is to fall for looks and rush into a relationship too soon. We need to get to know if that person has the right qualities that suit you, that they are not aggressive, jealous, unkind, etc, have the qualities to be long term partner .
Agree with this n just accept as life is n give n take as it comes we all hv go thro experience n learn fr it n better it improvise n enjoy the rest n we only live once make the best of it!❤
At the age of 75 i will always remember an old man telling me as a 14 year old to never be an old man on a park bench wishing I'd have tried something. My career went on to include about 7 different trades each one after getting proficient at what i was doing then moving on to something new. It was exciting to tackle new adventures as well as always having a fall back plan and never ever being out of work as well a supporting my family...wouldn't change a goddam thing in my past...oh ya...I'm still with my wife of 53 yrs !!
Im 68, transitioned out of my 9-5 into my dream job teaching playing music at 43. Having a supportive partner made the leap a lot easier. Ive met and inspired so many wonderful children and adults. The risk is worth it because it often works out !! 👌
I am 75 and truly believe regret is more likely caused by what you did not do than what you do. Thanks so much for engaging others who have many teachable life moments to share from long lives lived well.
exactly, trying and failing is fine, thats doesnt haunt you, its when you failed to try at all at something, that leads to what ifs and that will haunt you.
Marriage is best best thing I have done in my life We have been together 40 years, married 37 years and have 2 wonderful kids , we are both celebrating our 60th birthdays and I wouldn't change anything
I'm almost 50, and I will definitely say, don't give up on life, keep on moving, time will heal everything. Also, it is a TRAP to compare yourself to others, instead use what others do as motivation.
The two big pieces of advice I've got are from the 90 year old lady who regrets she never went far in her education, missed out alot as a result and the 77 year old lady who married the wrong partner. Alot of wisdom to be taken from all the interviews and thanks for doing what you do.
Getting "degrees" in school is a good way to show validation from society. It gives society/culture assurance that you are competent. But ironically, depending too much on society's validations is also a lack of strength and courage from an individual level. You can learn more from reading books and self learning, but society won't trust your competence based on that.
@@not-even-german4892 blk n brwn need to learn so they can be independent, and not dependent on someone else shifting standards. Followers will always be followers. Courage is required.
You’re doing a good thing buddy. You’re making people think, especially the young ones who’s many of them don’t realize how much you can learn from us old, but wise guys.
73years married for 40years divorced 4years ago Know how to set boundaries Research your partner's foundation How she/he was brought up So you don't pick people with disorders Your Financial power must not be handed over to anyone Sort out your traumas and know yourself before you marry Negotiate everything before marriage
Your comment really resonates with me. I’m 56, and currently going through a legal separation after being with my husband for 35 years. He was emotionally abusive & physically abusive twice in our marriage….the last time was our last day together. I’m learning about trauma bonds and bipolar (which he now realizes he has). I am slowly rebuilding my life and getting stronger. I know I have a lot of healing to do. I am learning to set boundaries and I will never get myself in a situation like this again….no more marriage for me. Thanks for your words of wisdom. I wish you the best on your life’s journey. ❤

No, it's really become too late. Imagine you masturbated for the whole life of your young age and now you're in your 40's with small penis, addiction, and depression. 😅
WOW.. I’m 56 yrs old and if I could offer advice to anyone… BE OPEN and OUTGOING.. Learned to love yourself (and forgive yourself) throughout your journey… Learn as much as you can from every interaction and never stop moving forward.. We can’t stop tragic events that happen to us, no different than the blessed events that happen to us.. Be grateful each day and try your hardest not to hurt anyone… ❤️
I’m on the right path! Thank you. No need to rush for kids and marriage. I’m furthering my studies at the age of 30 and I just got done with 1st year. If you have been procrastinating going back to school, I urge you to do it. The year has gone by so fast, which goes to show that that 10 months of school is a short time.
Agree. I have been procrastinating. I’m in a career and further studies would enhance it. I have given myself excuses coz my kids were young etc. But no more. I’m going to commit to post grad work next year! Good luck to you.
I didn't really wanted to get married. Studied up to 31. But no one told me, that one day the instinct to have children will become so strong! It will not ask you, do you want become a mother or not. When this instinct will decide you will be getting crazy, not that much to be married, but to reproduce. Another thing, and I am telling my daughter now: give birth to all your children as young as you can. Because after 30 body won't be so flexible anymore, and the birth of a child will come at a great cost of your health. The birth traumas eventually will lead to prolapse of woman's inner organs, which mean your uterus will be falling out of you. No one telling this to all late birthers out their. So, everything is good at it's own, established by nature time. And people never will oversmart it.
@@keithmeadchina Birth trauma does it's damage even early in life, it's just not so noticeable until later in life. The younger you are the more likely you will have those ugly stretch marks because the skin is so tight. At age 38 my daughter had no stretch marks at all because her skin was aging and looser. Most of all, an older and wiser person is a much better parent though lacking in the full energy required while they are little. The ideal time for pregnancy and birth is early thirties, but that is the very prime of life when a career is strongest so it's hard to put that aside to dedicate yourself to children. And if you are not going to put your children absolutely first in your life, then you don't need to be having children.
I'm in my seventies and grew up in a home of substance abuse, violence, and poverty. My advice is don't drink, do drugs, gamble, also, be kind to people, and don't take shit from anyone. Enjoy your life!!!
Retired at 53….what I would tell my younger self or what I tell my 5 kids is to put as much effort into enjoying the journey as you do with achieving your financial, career and relationship/family goals. I sucked at enjoying it….too focused on getting from A to B. Unfortunately, I give myself an F or D-…. Hope I have many more years to start enjoying the journey.
The funny thing is that often when you constantly worry (or pay attention) about a certain outcome , can you achieve that outcome. One needs to be laser focused. I think that you did real well to be able to retire at 53. You obviously paid excessive attention to your finances (amongst others) and that lead to an early retirement. Now you just need to enjoy it, since it is such a privilege to be able to retire so young. I retired at 58. Wish I could do it sooner.
Truly every couple that featured and participated here are adorable and all have great, valuable and timeless advice - even for me who is 57. THANK YOU!!🙏
This is good but learning lessons makes us who we become. Going through struggles build character. I've been through many life lessons and wouldnt change any of them as they make me who I am today! I love listening to the older generation speaking they have so much wisdom!
One thing that missed from all this older people was not mentioning spirituality. Encourage to seek God first in everything. If my parents were ask that be first out of their mouth.
35. Married for 6 years. 4 month old at home. I can say young people are not selfish. I worked hard in my 20s and waited to have kids because I live in an expensive city, I needed the money to be able to provide for my daughter.
I agree.I’m 36 y.o. and all my life I’ve been working hard and studying. She judges.Someone can judge her back like maybe it’s selfish to have 4 children? She did did what she want ,having kid after kid (no protection) but judges other people of doing what they want. Hypocrite
@@Sussana13times were different back then. When you have healthcare, housing, and college tuition outpacing wage growth since her time, Gen Y is in constant struggle. Even if you make $400k in CA or NY. You’re struggling with family of 3-4 to truly “provide” and care for kids responsibility. Sure - I can move to a 4th tier city and state, but wage will shrink further and limited economy for my kids and for me to provide. I agree with you!
What i would advise is to always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist. the fixed income portion of your portfolio won't simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.
Very true, A lot of people downplay the role of a financial planner until their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license-fiduciary advsors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, I Liquidated 200k of 325k from my 401(k) it has yielded nearly 1m after subsequent investments so far
That’s literally the best advices, the world is changing and it’s becoming harder to live in. In my taxable account I went into dividend investing route. In my Roth I did the buy and hold route with an S&P 500 etf and total market etf along with some Berkshire B stock and SCHD.
My portfolio is made up of dividend etf’s, dividend stocks, growth stocks and individual stocks, it allows a bit more freedom in specific areas with help of an advisor CHRIS RYAN STEWART who I’ve been in touch with over the years before buying any stocks and it’s been working perfectly for me.
Thank you, Will. Been watching your beautiful interviews and I'm starting to believe you Can teach an old dog new tricks At 70, I'm still learning . God bless you (and your crew).💓
I would say be more reflective on priorities and values, so you can be sure you are travelling on the right path for yourself and your family. I am 65 , and still learning every day. These couples, especially the men , look healthy and interesting.
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I love your editing. Much success to you... you create wonderful content! Love your channel. (P.S. I'm 67 years old so that timing of your videos is perfect for me.)
These are the cool older people!!! I wish I would tell my younger self, take more risks, do not worry about people that want you to fail. When you relocated to another state you were doing more, and having more fun. You never should let your family (parents other relatives) pressure you to resign from a job you loved, you had more happiness got to meet more people, people that valued you, wanted you around and wanted to help you level up with them. You would have been pleased with what you accomplished and you would be very successful. I am not even in my mid 40s, still with regrets, I never listened to my instincts, next year, I am going to trust my instincts more. This includes taking more risks and learning from them. I don't care what my family says anymore. I am not living my life as I should and I know that. I want to regret nothing in my elder years, even the negative risks I will take. I am done with people pleasing and not doing what I was born to do.
I love this video. Thank you for creating this and having these beautiful people speak. ✨ I’m 25 and always worry about regrets and this gave me encouragement that i’m okay now and i’ll be okay in future.
Marvelous video. This is what makes YT head and shoulders above the general label "social media". The narrator/interviewer has excellent interviewing style
All I can say as an old person is that things happen for a reason and don't happen for a reason. And we may never know why. Trust that the universe is always conspiring to help u on ur journey. Learn the lesson being experienced so u can grow and move forward. Work to become better not bitter!
That was a great video with wonderful interviews! You do such a awesome job, and you are very calm, cool and collected. Very interesting people all had worthy things to say. I am so happy I saw this interview. Thank you Will! 😊
You did a great job interviewing these (all of them) really lovely, thoughtful, bright people. Their earned wisdom is priceless and I appreciated hearing it. Thanks.
I am not 91, but my grandma never worked out and ate what she wanted. She never had an operation or a disease and lived until she was 102. So just working out and eating healthy will not guarantee a long life.
good genes, her mom also lived to 100. My grandma maybe did not work out but she was active, always busy doing something and even subbed after she retired as a school teacher@@SprouhtAnd she really was not much of a worrier, she just accepted what came in her life even if it was not always easy. Sadly, my mom died of an awful dementia so my grandma had to go to her daughters funeral. My grandma was 100 then though and refused to believe it was my mom which I think was for the best. Personally, I would not have had her at the funeral, but my Aunt insisted she be there. But overall, my grandma and even my mom had a good life.
@@SprouhtGenetics. I am 66 and my husband is 69. We have 80 acres, grow our own food, have our own beehives, harvest maple syrup etc. Our body weight is low, we get lots of exercise and guess what? The only health problems we have mirror our individual parents. Arthritis, kidney stones and diverticulitis. Thought we could beat that but genetics trumps all.
Don't know if someone is reading this, but if you are: it doesn't matter where you are right now on this planet, I wish you a wonderful day and a happy, peaceful life where all your dreams come true. You are amazing and beautiful! I believe in you!
I’m sad watching these older couples not being able to see my dad grow old with my mum... ...each day really is a blessing. Yes sure save for the future but don’t forget to live and enjoy the present. I know the very person who wished that he did with his life partner while she was still around..
This is one of the BEST videos I have seen in a while ! I am 68 with no big regrets in my life, but as always, getting the experience after the fact. Thank you very much. Regards. Trinidad & Tobago. West Indies.
I’m only 34 with 2 divorces. I realized marriage just isn’t for me. I can’t no longer attach myself to another person emotionally & financially. My parents are still married for over 40 years, It was a whole different era back then.
I know that’s right! Work on discovering who you are as a person and then find someone who doesn’t want marriage. Why is the government so involved in marriages and gives them advantages just for being married?. Why are weddings so expensive? Like why does a ring and paper proves that you love someone? All these damn rules except people to all live the same is nonsense. At this point fuck society and its pressure on us to live a certain way & fuck everyone opinions I’m going to live life the way I want to.
One possible reason your are twiced divorced at 34 is that you want the men to be traditional yet you as a women don't want to be. You have been lied to your entire life about relationships by the feminists. It's about working together as a single unit not 2 units fighting each other for control. A house divided cannot stand. What the hell do i know, only been married 32years, 3 kids.BTW my wife doesn't work. She takes care of the house and finances while i go get the money.
@@Neesha242 Regarding government involvement in male/female relationships, there is a need in society to protect children which, until the 1960s, was the natural and unavoidable result of adult relationships. Government needs to know who to make responsible for these children. Today it's still necessary, but there are plenty of laws to protect children without marriage (paternity testing); essentially, there is no real reason for marriage. No one has to marry, but if they legally marry they are committing to the government's contract with them regarding the responsibilities of the two partners, mostly financial. Couples can instead make their own contract that is legally binding or take risks and have no contract if they feel they can totally trust each other. The latter rarely happens. You can live your life the way you want; it's up to you to have enough confidence in yourself to do so without anger towards anyone's opinion.
My advice is be VERY careful who you marry and have kids with. When you divorce, it can really ruin you if you divorce in your later years. My advice to modern marriage is, DO NOT GET MARRIED!! For you sensitive people, its just my opinion, and the reality.👍
@Sprouht: Thank you for posting this video, it was lovely. Sometimes hearing others reflect reminds us to be mindful, and not mechanical, in the way we live.
Thank you for this video... it came at the right time... as someone soon approaching 50s I strongly support all thoughts shared by all people interviewed...great video..
Yeah !! With the current problem around the world today I think it's best everyone invest more in digital asset than Saving in banks and real estate . Just my thoughts
Traders should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $486k in the last six month. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.

When I was 44 years old I had sudden terrible pain throughout my body I didn't know what was wrong with me? After 5 days something told me to go to the hospital immediately. I had a ruptured appendix and 3 days away from dying, after 16 days and 3 operations I walked out of the hospital a completely changed person. While in my hospital bed I saw things, I was shown things from a spiritual level. We are all spirits having a human experience. Our jobs, education, money and objects are not important, those are the wants of the ego, it's the human experiences we came for. And as humans we cannot fathom how powerful we really are, we're too deep in a sleep to remember who we really are, we'll remember on our departure day when we go back to where we came from.
I found these words utterly fascinating. Thankyou for sharing your story and the amazing insight which you gained. How has this experience changed the way you live your life? Do you approach life differently now than you did before your health scare?
180 degree turn around. I no longer know that person I used to be or that lifestyle I used to live and I don't want to go back to it. I was given knowledge that cannot be taken from me and knowledge of knowing that it is "I am" that creates everything I experience in this world, not the other way around...and I can control it.
If I had to do it all over again, I would’ve placed tremendous emphasis in reading and understanding the king James Bible. There you’ll find the key the manual to life as told by your creator. I live by breathe by it, exist by it. It will change you.
i love ALL your interviews!!!! As in...I am learning a lot from these people. Makes me teary-eyed too most esp coming from those 70+ and above! i love love them!!! you get to talk to them that I wish I can just sit down and listen to them all they long. God bless them!
The woman with the white hair said it in a nutshell. What was right for her was right for her. As no one can apply her ways to their spirit to mimic. Listening to your gut (aka guidance......especially when and if you're up for consistency that isn't driven by stupidity and arrogance) ......as good guidance will never steer you wrong.
What I get from this is there is no magic. Stay positive and do the best you can. Nobody will leave this life with zero regrets but looking back is always 20/20.
Thank you for bringing these beautiful talks to us, I always watch your video in the morning before work to have a calm mind, and I learnt a lot, thank you so much!
I would say to any young person, even to kids who have crushes, or want to be friends with the wrong crowd. "Don't waste your time on people who don't notice you. Or who encourages you to do things against your better judgement. Because these are the kinds of people who will never be satisfied with you and will always hold you up to conditions. And high expectations but they'll never take accountability. So you end up getting the bad hand alone when things go wrong. You will always struggle with their acceptance and keeping them around. You'll find yourself doing things that you never wanted to do. And lose who you are in the process. And anyone who makes you lose yourself is never worth it." Of course with younger kids I'd word it differently but I definitely do remember as a kid, esp a teenager, what your peers thought of you was Soo super important.

Who says this is good advice? Just because some old people have some opinions doesn’t make it right. Take advice from people who have achieved actual real success in their lives. Every loser has advice. Be careful who you listen to. Very careful.
I would tell my younger self. Marry for money, don't marry for love.
73 years old here, I would say find the right life partner early, trust God, find a career that you enjoy, can make a living at and helps others. Be prepared to put in the work to meet your goals and most importantly love and help your children.

54 here and ready to start second semester of my MBA classes. I have never been in tune with my real age. I play basketball everyday at lunch because I feel like 30 so just getting started. Don't care what other people think of me and it really ticks some people off. Don't care. Do you.
@@TrustNone35 Yeah same with me. Don't feel my age, feel about 30. Love my snowboarding, motorbike riding and beach surf. Yes, I couldn't care less what people think, I did once but not anymore and this is the best way to be. I have more energy and am much fitter than many who are 30 years younger than myself. Many are very lazy and overweight nodays - infact in Australia it's become more common to be unhealthy and unfit. Society here at least is in a real mess in my opinion - never seen it so bad, unhealthy and sick people are everywhere.
Life losers want to bring you down to their misery level! Get life winners as friends!
Just getting the right partner extends your life by a lot. I'm a man, and when I look at the way these old women were acting around their husbands, I immediately knew that they were part of the reason the men lived so long.
Their men listens to them
You don't need someone else to find happiness.
*Exactly‼️*
I - a woman - thought exactly the same, but the other way around. 😁

As a 30 year old this gave me chills. I keep dropping out of school because I have such a hard time with it but that sweet woman motivated me to go back and try until I graduate, I'll think of her when I'm having a hard time and do it for myself and for her.
I am a stranger and yet happy for you. I am rooting for you!

Absolutely!
“I go to the gym and do a little cardiac”. 😂😂 Bless him.
No way that men is 90! 😮 What kind of sorcery is he doing to look that young at that age?? Can't just be gym and cardio, I refuse to believe it (maybe because I don't have his discipline 😅)
I love the simplicity of asking your elders. It is so missing in our culture and I love your respectful, curious heart.
I am 84 still married to my 85 year old husband (66 years). The advice I would give is perservere! Don't give up bc a hardship comes your way! Don't give in to addictions and /or failures! Make your family your priority! Even if you have to work a lot, you are doing it for them! But always be there when they need you! No marriage or life is perfect! Accept the things you cannot change; change the things you can; and have the grace to know the difference, as the prayer goes! Don't give up or give in!
This is some great advice. I’m willing to compromise no relationship is perfect.
The number one piece of information that is always left out: stay the course through the rough times.
This is by far the best advice in the comments. I would also suggest getting married young have children and stay out of the clubs and bars focus on your family. You will be much happier .
I would say to young women, do not waste your time on relationships with men who don't deserve you, don't get involved with men with "baggage", do not fall out of touch with good friends no matter how busy you get, get the best education you can, do not judge other people harshly, treat other people the way you would like to be treated, and always be genuinely kind to other people and to animals. Cultivate a good heart and soul. Leave this world a little bit better than before you arrived. God bless you all.
I 1,000 PERCENT AGREE WITH YOU!
Very well said!
Good advice 👍
That advice is suitable for both male and female.
Don't let another person rule your life, deminish your worth as a human being. Learn to be alone and enable yourself to make the right choices in committing to a relationship of equals. Have the strength to leave a bad situation. Don't try to control or be controlled by another. Be self sufficient. Don't bring children into your life selfishly on a whim to satisfy hormonal urges, or to give and receive love and affection. Think of the bigger picture re that child's future prospects in an uncertain world. You won't always be around.
The couple in blue, with the white hair were so sweet ❤ She clasped his arm and he held her hand while they answered questions about life. You could feel their love. Just beautiful!
The mistake that most of us make, is to fall for looks and rush into a relationship too soon. We need to get to know if that person has the right qualities that suit you, that they are not aggressive, jealous, unkind, etc, have the qualities to be long term partner .
Tell me about it!😮
Agree with this n just accept as life is n give n take as it comes
we all hv go thro experience n learn fr it n better it
improvise n enjoy the rest n we only live once make the best of it!❤
Most people never make it to experience their 70-80-90s . We should be listening to them a lot more often. God bless!
Man her smile when he said " one another " you cud see the love in her face. The spark is still there
It reminded me of Jimmy and Rosa Lynn Carter. These relationships are extremely rare.
most beautiful comment in all the interviews
That Indian couple is so cool. Love their perspectives and words.
I agree. I could listen to the wife all day. She has such a calming demeanor ❤.
Awesome! Was looking for a comment on them. The Indian lady is solid!
At the age of 75 i will always remember an old man telling me as a 14 year old to never be an old man on a park bench wishing I'd have tried something. My career went on to include about 7 different trades each one after getting proficient at what i was doing then moving on to something new. It was exciting to tackle new adventures as well as always having a fall back plan and never ever being out of work as well a supporting my family...wouldn't change a goddam thing in my past...oh ya...I'm still with my wife of 53 yrs !!
Awesome!!
Sorry you've had to endure such a long sentence.
Im 68, transitioned out of my 9-5 into my dream job teaching playing music at 43. Having a supportive partner made the leap a lot easier. Ive met and inspired so many wonderful children and adults. The risk is worth it because it often works out !! 👌
I don’t know people dream of work.
Congratulations 🎉❤
I’m 71. I would have started a gratitude journal when I was I was young and kept it going.
Yesterday I lost my grandfather, he was 82 y.o. I was his favorite grandson. I wish he lived till 90 or 100 years, he was a good man. 😢
I’m 19 and I appreciate the elders giving us young guys advice!
I am 75 and truly believe regret is more likely caused by what you did not do than what you do. Thanks so much for engaging others who have many teachable life moments to share from long lives lived well.
The truth!!! And might I add living by what somebody else says
Totally!
exactly, trying and failing is fine, thats doesnt haunt you, its when you failed to try at all at something, that leads to what ifs and that will haunt you.

Marriage is best best thing I have done in my life
We have been together 40 years, married 37 years and have 2 wonderful kids , we are both celebrating our 60th birthdays and I wouldn't change anything
I'm almost 50, and I will definitely say, don't give up on life, keep on moving, time will heal everything. Also, it is a TRAP to compare yourself to others, instead use what others do as motivation.
The two big pieces of advice I've got are from the 90 year old lady who regrets she never went far in her education, missed out alot as a result and the 77 year old lady who married the wrong partner. Alot of wisdom to be taken from all the interviews and thanks for doing what you do.
There's nothing better than having a good partner, and nothing worse than a bad one.
Getting "degrees" in school is a good way to show validation from society. It gives society/culture assurance that you are competent. But ironically, depending too much on society's validations is also a lack of strength and courage from an individual level. You can learn more from reading books and self learning, but society won't trust your competence based on that.
Really? Except for a law or medical degrees. The rest are scam. Who cares what society think.
You have a solid point. These days you can teach yourself anything online.
Well said, and so very true.
Society standards matter regardless especially for black and brown. We need to learn harder, I did. I'm glad, I'm happier...

Know how to set boundaries
Research your partner's foundation
How she/he was brought up
So you don't pick people with disorders
Your Financial power must not be handed over to anyone
Sort out your traumas and know yourself before you marry
Negotiate everything before marriage
Your comment really resonates with me. I’m 56, and currently going through a legal separation after being with my husband for 35 years. He was emotionally abusive & physically abusive twice in our marriage….the last time was our last day together. I’m learning about trauma bonds and bipolar (which he now realizes he has). I am slowly rebuilding my life and getting stronger. I know I have a lot of healing to do. I am learning to set boundaries and I will never get myself in a situation like this again….no more marriage for me. Thanks for your words of wisdom. I wish you the best on your life’s journey.

Most precious thing that you have - "one another." 🔥
I’m on the right path! Thank you. No need to rush for kids and marriage. I’m furthering my studies at the age of 30 and I just got done with 1st year. If you have been procrastinating going back to school, I urge you to do it. The year has gone by so fast, which goes to show that that 10 months of school is a short time.
Agree !! Never stop
Agree. I have been procrastinating. I’m in a career and further studies would enhance it. I have given myself excuses coz my kids were young etc. But no more. I’m going to commit to post grad work next year! Good luck to you.
I didn't really wanted to get married. Studied up to 31. But no one told me, that one day the instinct to have children will become so strong! It will not ask you, do you want become a mother or not. When this instinct will decide you will be getting crazy, not that much to be married, but to reproduce. Another thing, and I am telling my daughter now: give birth to all your children as young as you can. Because after 30 body won't be so flexible anymore, and the birth of a child will come at a great cost of your health. The birth traumas eventually will lead to prolapse of woman's inner organs, which mean your uterus will be falling out of you. No one telling this to all late birthers out their. So, everything is good at it's own, established by nature time. And people never will oversmart it.
@@keithmeadchina Birth trauma does it's damage even early in life, it's just not so noticeable until later in life. The younger you are the more likely you will have those ugly stretch marks because the skin is so tight. At age 38 my daughter had no stretch marks at all because her skin was aging and looser. Most of all, an older and wiser person is a much better parent though lacking in the full energy required while they are little. The ideal time for pregnancy and birth is early thirties, but that is the very prime of life when a career is strongest so it's hard to put that aside to dedicate yourself to children. And if you are not going to put your children absolutely first in your life, then you don't need to be having children.
Your comment has really inspired me. Thank you so much.
I'm in my seventies and grew up in a home of substance abuse, violence, and poverty. My advice is don't drink, do drugs, gamble, also, be kind to people, and don't take shit from anyone. Enjoy your life!!!
Retired at 53….what I would tell my younger self or what I tell my 5 kids is to put as much effort into enjoying the journey as you do with achieving your financial, career and relationship/family goals. I sucked at enjoying it….too focused on getting from A to B. Unfortunately, I give myself an F or D-…. Hope I have many more years to start enjoying the journey.
Yea but u retired at 53. Not many people can do that.
The funny thing is that often when you constantly worry (or pay attention) about a certain outcome , can you achieve that outcome. One needs to be laser focused. I think that you did real well to be able to retire at 53. You obviously paid excessive attention to your finances (amongst others) and that lead to an early retirement. Now you just need to enjoy it, since it is such a privilege to be able to retire so young. I retired at 58. Wish I could do it sooner.
i hope so too for you.

“Make the best that you can be” is my most favorite advice! 🙏🏽
This is good but learning lessons makes us who we become. Going through struggles build character. I've been through many life lessons and wouldnt change any of them as they make me who I am today! I love listening to the older generation speaking they have so much wisdom!
Me too
One thing that missed from all this older people was not mentioning spirituality. Encourage to seek God first in everything. If my parents were ask that be first out of their mouth.
Yes & Amen to that
"Seek ye first the Kingdom of God and His righteousness," Jesus said.

35. Married for 6 years. 4 month old at home. I can say young people are not selfish. I worked hard in my 20s and waited to have kids because I live in an expensive city, I needed the money to be able to provide for my daughter.
I agree.I’m 36 y.o. and all my life I’ve been working hard and studying. She judges.Someone can judge her back like maybe it’s selfish to have 4 children? She did did what she want ,having kid after kid (no protection) but judges other people of doing what they want. Hypocrite
@@Sussana13times were different back then. When you have healthcare, housing, and college tuition outpacing wage growth since her time, Gen Y is in constant struggle.

Sure - I can move to a 4th tier city and state, but wage will shrink further and limited economy for my kids and for me to provide. I agree with you!

What i would advise is to always good to have a financial plan. I work with a professional planner and fixed-income strategist. the fixed income portion of your portfolio won't simply serve as a buffer to the volatility of the equity portion of your portfolio, but will provide legitimate income.
Very true, A lot of people downplay the role of a financial planner until their mistakes. I remember just after my layoff early 2020 amidst covid outbreak, I needed to stay afloat, hence researched for license-fiduciary advsors. Thankfully, I came across someone of practical knowledge, and decades of experience, I Liquidated 200k of 325k from my 401(k) it has yielded nearly 1m after subsequent investments so far
That’s literally the best advices, the world is changing and it’s becoming harder to live in. In my taxable account I went into dividend investing route. In my Roth I did the buy and hold route with an S&P 500 etf and total market etf along with some Berkshire B stock and SCHD.
My portfolio is made up of dividend etf’s, dividend stocks, growth stocks and individual stocks, it allows a bit more freedom in specific areas with help of an advisor CHRIS RYAN STEWART who I’ve been in touch with over the years before buying any stocks and it’s been working perfectly for me.

I would say be more reflective on priorities and values, so you can be sure you are travelling on the right path for yourself and your family. I am 65 , and still learning every day. These couples, especially the men , look healthy and interesting.
I learn something every time I watch one of your videos. I love your editing. Much success to you... you create wonderful content! Love your channel. (P.S. I'm 67 years old so that timing of your videos is perfect for me.)
Thank you so much!
“Stay in school and be valuable” 🙏🏾
These are the cool older people!!! I wish I would tell my younger self, take more risks, do not worry about people that want you to fail. When you relocated to another state you were doing more, and having more fun. You never should let your family (parents other relatives) pressure you to resign from a job you loved, you had more happiness got to meet more people, people that valued you, wanted you around and wanted to help you level up with them. You would have been pleased with what you accomplished and you would be very successful. I am not even in my mid 40s, still with regrets, I never listened to my instincts, next year, I am going to trust my instincts more. This includes taking more risks and learning from them. I don't care what my family says anymore. I am not living my life as I should and I know that. I want to regret nothing in my elder years, even the negative risks I will take. I am done with people pleasing and not doing what I was born to do.
What was the job that you had
Good for you! Better late than never, as they say. Break that chain!
5:37 "One another." Gold.
I love this video. Thank you for creating this and having these beautiful people speak. ✨ I’m 25 and always worry about regrets and this gave me encouragement that i’m okay now and i’ll be okay in future.
It seems that what keeps older folks active, happy and vital is a sense of 'gratitude.'
Marvelous video. This is what makes YT head and shoulders above the general label "social media". The narrator/interviewer has excellent interviewing style
All I can say as an old person is that things happen for a reason and don't happen for a reason. And we may never know why. Trust that the universe is always conspiring to help u on ur journey. Learn the lesson being experienced so u can grow and move forward. Work to become better not bitter!
Great insight!

You did a great job interviewing these (all of them) really lovely, thoughtful, bright people. Their earned wisdom is priceless and I appreciated hearing it. Thanks.
I am not 91, but my grandma never worked out and ate what she wanted. She never had an operation or a disease and lived until she was 102. So just working out and eating healthy will not guarantee a long life.
What do you think contributed to her living to 102 then?
good genes, her mom also lived to 100. My grandma maybe did not work out but she was active, always busy doing something and even subbed after she retired as a school teacher@@SprouhtAnd she really was not much of a worrier, she just accepted what came in her life even if it was not always easy. Sadly, my mom died of an awful dementia so my grandma had to go to her daughters funeral. My grandma was 100 then though and refused to believe it was my mom which I think was for the best. Personally, I would not have had her at the funeral, but my Aunt insisted she be there. But overall, my grandma and even my mom had a good life.
It does increase the odds though. Also quality of life at that age would be much better in terms of health
quality of life is for sure the most important. Nobody is promised a long life.

Cherishable ''item'' you have: one another... loving couple together. It is really great point
Always try to help others and forgive their mistakes. We are not perfect, why others have to be perfect? Faith in God above all.
I’m only 34 with 2 divorces. I realized marriage just isn’t for me. I can’t no longer attach myself to another person emotionally & financially. My parents are still married for over 40 years, It was a whole different era back then.
The beauty of it is you know it, and you don’t let somebody else tell you that it’s different
I know that’s right! Work on discovering who you are as a person and then find someone who doesn’t want marriage. Why is the government so involved in marriages and gives them advantages just for being married?. Why are weddings so expensive? Like why does a ring and paper proves that you love someone? All these damn rules except people to all live the same is nonsense. At this point fuck society and its pressure on us to live a certain way & fuck everyone opinions I’m going to live life the way I want to.
One possible reason your are twiced divorced at 34 is that you want the men to be traditional yet you as a women don't want to be. You have been lied to your entire life about relationships by the feminists. It's about working together as a single unit not 2 units fighting each other for control. A house divided cannot stand. What the hell do i know, only been married 32years, 3 kids.BTW my wife doesn't work. She takes care of the house and finances while i go get the money.
Now this is being vulnerable. At a young age of ten or eleven, I knew I didn't want no parts of being married. I'm 39 and still feel the same way.
@@Neesha242 Regarding government involvement in male/female relationships, there is a need in society to protect children which, until the 1960s, was the natural and unavoidable result of adult relationships. Government needs to know who to make responsible for these children. Today it's still necessary, but there are plenty of laws to protect children without marriage (paternity testing); essentially, there is no real reason for marriage. No one has to marry, but if they legally marry they are committing to the government's contract with them regarding the responsibilities of the two partners, mostly financial. Couples can instead make their own contract that is legally binding or take risks and have no contract if they feel they can totally trust each other. The latter rarely happens. You can live your life the way you want; it's up to you to have enough confidence in yourself to do so without anger towards anyone's opinion.
Very uplifting listening to these older folks
My advice is be VERY careful who you marry and have kids with. When you divorce, it can really ruin you if you divorce in your later years. My advice to modern marriage is, DO NOT GET MARRIED!! For you sensitive people, its just my opinion, and the reality.👍
THIS is so true!!🖕

Traders should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.
This is superb! Information, as a noob it gets quite difficult to handle all of this and staying informed is a major cause, how do you go about this are you a pro investor?
Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $486k in the last six month. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
Wow, that's stirring! Do you mind connecting me to your advisor please. I desperately need one to diversify my portfolio

I love listening to older people this is great. Thanks for posting this.
When I was 44 years old I had sudden terrible pain throughout my body I didn't know what was wrong with me? After 5 days something told me to go to the hospital immediately. I had a ruptured appendix and 3 days away from dying, after 16 days and 3 operations I walked out of the hospital a completely changed person. While in my hospital bed I saw things, I was shown things from a spiritual level. We are all spirits having a human experience. Our jobs, education, money and objects are not important, those are the wants of the ego, it's the human experiences we came for. And as humans we cannot fathom how powerful we really are, we're too deep in a sleep to remember who we really are, we'll remember on our departure day when we go back to where we came from.
I found these words utterly fascinating. Thankyou for sharing your story and the amazing insight which you gained. How has this experience changed the way you live your life? Do you approach life differently now than you did before your health scare?
180 degree turn around. I no longer know that person I used to be or that lifestyle I used to live and I don't want to go back to it. I was given knowledge that cannot be taken from me and knowledge of knowing that it is "I am" that creates everything I experience in this world, not the other way around...and I can control it.

The woman that said "relationships" got it.
Now that's wise.
Can you interview people who HAVE been sick or unhappy? This is just extremely lucky people you’re interviewing.
I would say to any young person, even to kids who have crushes, or want to be friends with the wrong crowd.
"Don't waste your time on people who don't notice you. Or who encourages you to do things against your better judgement. Because these are the kinds of people who will never be satisfied with you and will always hold you up to conditions. And high expectations but they'll never take accountability. So you end up getting the bad hand alone when things go wrong. You will always struggle with their acceptance and keeping them around. You'll find yourself doing things that you never wanted to do. And lose who you are in the process. And anyone who makes you lose yourself is never worth it."
Of course with younger kids I'd word it differently but I definitely do remember as a kid, esp a teenager, what your peers thought of you was Soo super important.
