When you keep your information they call you snobby unfriendly....just can't win. NARCISSISTS use it against you meanwhile tell no one their information.
There are few things worse than having a narcissist mother I had one and I know how you feel it's a lot to overcome and a lot to accept forgive and let go
Everyone over 60 should see this excellent presentation! It’s ironic that you can be hugely successful financially in your business, but you can’t really share it with friends and family. They WILL look at you differently and EXPECT you to spread some of that money around esp to older and younger members who may not have as much.
Wow, what a complicated life we must navigate through! I mean my nieces and nephews,(in their 40s), all talk openly about their salaries and financial situations and don't understand why I keep my finances so private. But that just wasn't done when I grew up, being born 70+ years ago.
I’m one of those who shared my life story, and now it’s affecting my life. I’m in my 60’s and people are just taking advantage or just jealous. Hope I have not opened my life to other people
I feel the foundation of these points is simplicity. It’s less about what you think and more about the impact of the thoughts and opinions of others about your personal matters. Life is simpler if one maintains discretion Personally, while I’m not focused on anyone’s perceptions about me, I want to determine with whom I want things shared. When you tell people things it’s easy to become a topic of their conversations with others. People don’t have boundaries anymore. They think nothing of passing along your information. I will tell my story if/when I want - it’s mine to share. You focus on yours.
Excellent advice: it is something that I have finally come to understand. I used to share a lot of my thoughts with family and friends, only to have people mock or criticise me as I didn’t measure up to their standards.
I’m the same way, I was an open book but not anymore. I just stopped chatting about everything. Sometimes when you share information with others they use it against you. I recently shared a conversation about loaning someone money and my friend not only decided to chastise me but made terrible insulting comments about the person who I loaned the money to. Now I know. 🤷🏽♀️
Revealing my true age isn’t a problem. I don’t really care what others will think! So , there’s the 1st rule about me: I don’t give a flying f ….k what you think ! Good or bad , it makes no difference. Why is that ? Because I don’t want or need anything from you or anyone.
I have neighbors and friends that know I’m in the stock market and we have good discussions about it without giving out exact amounts,I share my sports teams and people know I go to the games and I don’t mind sharing information about it.Dont need to live in a bubble and I’m not scared of living life
As I age i realized how many FAKE friends I had who only called me when they had needs but when I needed their help they were NO where to be found! I currently have NO friends!
If young people live long enough that old saying what Goes around comes around Will be visited upon them. The best thing is don’t care what others think! And don’t take it personally.
You are missing something, try being more open minded than negative. Not giving certain information will make it harder for someone to scam or defraud you and health insurance is a huge scam. Wake up
In Thailand, the aged people are more revered than they were young. The retirees by age have been treated with honor and respect, and people are likely to render a hepling hand in public need, such as public bus. However, as Thailand is not a rich country, most of the the aged are still financially struggling.
Well, if the KING shared some of the wealth the aged would have no struggle at all! Thailand is a very wealthy country, it a problem when you have so many corrupt and greedy turds in power. But yes, the elder do get a lot of respect.
I am torn between absolutely hating this advice, and agreeing with it. In a perfect community, we help each other. You can do things that I cannot, and I can do things that you cannot. So, we work together. But, how can I help you if I don't even know you. Unfortunately, we don't live in a perfect community. It is a land filled with very selfish people who will step on your back to elevate themselves. In the recent past, I have tried being more open with people, offering them what I have in exchange for what they can offer. But, it did not work at all. My needs were of no interest to them, and they would walk away after bleeding me dry. That isn't the way it's supposed to be. Now, I live with the absolute belief that nobody will ever know the real me again.
We can avoid many problems by sharing as little important information about ourselves as possible. It is also a huge mistake to share pictures and confidential information on the Internet.
So complete!! Thank you for such a calm, wise, advice. It ALL makes so much sense. I encourage all persons of age 55 and older to embrace this information.
Thanks for Your advice. I'm 64yo. I recognized myself done in some aspects - doing wrong assumptions of outside world and not so well for me - and it has irritated myself. You learned me why and that's OK. In my opinion it's never too late take a good lesson every time and time, to think about things over. If there's some wisdom in it, it may become to be a habit to look and find a new look of the surrounding world and persons You meet everyday.
My father always told me to keep matters of sex, religion and politics private. This advice is especially true with the hostility over different opinions today.
One surprising omission : seldom, and preferably never, tell anyone that you have or have not left them a bequest in your will. I purposely left out spouses because they are generally treated far differently than others for a variety of reasons.
A few good rules: 1) never lend money. Ever. 2) stay away from envious, jealous and any other people who give you a bad vibe. 3) friends can choose to unfriend at anytime. Confide in your spouse and children only.
If I tell people my age, they're shocked. They think I'm 10 to 15 years younger than I actually am. A neighbor is 10 years older than I am, you would never guess that if you saw her. We both have had horses since we were children and are both in great shape.
Your advice tells so much about your picture of the world. What a lone, distrustful, world! Not to share with other people these most important aspects of your life - who wants such life?! In case you think i don't understand - I'm in my mid sixties
A Wonderful video. I am struggling to accept my aging, now 81 years, and trying to care for a disabled wife. This message is a blessed way to arrange our lives . Thank you
Unlike North America in UK and Europe it is just not done...actually rude... to inquire about someones age or financial position unless you are really close buddies/confidents.
A young person in store wanted all kinds of information....for a rewards card. Called the manager at a latter date. He said no thats for a store credit card. I said No it was for a rewards card. Had to repeat a few times and told him he better check because she may br collecting customers info and selling it.
Absolutely true, especially in the current divisive climate. Whenever someone tries to steer a conversation to politics I have on a couple of occasions had to be very firm and say that I am not interested in getting into a political discussion. Sadly, it has ended a few friendships.
SO TRUE. There's no advantage to talking politics. Only brings trouble. Most people will not listen. There's no use in trying to appeal to others that they're candidate is a boob.😅
1. Very nice. I go to a garden for excercises in the morning and when people know that I'm 85 they appreciate my efforts. I don't say on my own but if someone asks me the age I give it. Financial matters I keep private. In India there are many cases found where children after taking advantage of parents' money kick them out.
When anyone asks my age, I reply, "I am old enough to remember when there were patriotic Democrats, and young enough to wear cloth underwear". When asked about my sexuality, I respond with, "You aren't my type." When asked about family secrets, I say, "You are looking at it." When asked if I take any medications, my response is, "I take a special substance that makes my nostrils immune to your breath." People leave me alone.
Thank you. It is a balance. I think you have to show some of the cards life has dealt you as these probably define you in later years. Too much silence and secrecy on everything, people will end up not really knowing you. Also, sometimes a trouble shared is a trouble halved, the receiver can actually help you rather than bottling things up by getting concerns off your chest. There’s weight that lifts from the shoulders sometimes when you hear a voice that agrees with you. We are all wired differently. Yes, I also dislike “braggers”, certain things don’t become relevant in later years as we are all back to equal.
Number 8 : My oldest brother ( a Preacher ) called me the other day . He's worried about my spiritual health, after half an hour I asked him if he had had this conversation with his sister , and he said no , well maybe you should ! I haven't heard back from him ! She wants to buy a piece of the old farm for .10 cents on the dollar ! Any advice on how to proceed ?
They are looking for your farm. I guess you are the eldest. Never reveal anything that may occur re illness etc. to them. They will take advantage. You gave a great reply to your brother re the sister. A nursing home hopefully would not be in his thoughts. Take care
I am now 68 and have learned, one thing you never discuss regardless with relatives, sometimes spouse or partner and close friends, is your financial situation. In other words, keep your mouth shut about things mentioned here and you will be happier. If someone asks or pries, change the subject or leave. Anyone that wants to pry into your business is up to no good, remove them from your life.
I'm 58 years old still walk alot to take city bus and lightrail to work and back home and my job is 23 miles away from were I live I can't drive because I'm Leagley blind and a single father with kids 2 of them still raising at home teens.
Great. And in my opinion, important future intent should not be shared either. Because revealing plans prematurely can expose you to unnecessary risks, manipulation, or interference from others.
There is nothing wrong in revealing one's age. There is nothing to be ashamed of in revealing one's age if one wants to. One doesn't "have to" but it's fine to do so. It's a matter of one's own own internal confidence and sense of sovereignty. Who cares about what others think about your age?
A lot of good advice but I have to say that now I am older the opinions of others has less and less meaning, I simply no longer care. I’m friendly but I let very few in. My circle of friends is quite small since they have an apparently incurable habit of passing on. I instinctively keep my personal information private, period. I mostly want to be left alone to live my life out in a quiet peaceful way, which seems to be an increasingly difficult reality to attain.
Genau, diese 9 Dinge gehen Andere nichts an, man macht sich nur angreifbar und ist leicht das Opfer von Spott oder herablassender Bevormundung, sowie "kluger " Ratschläge, wenn man das Alles preisgibt. Danke dafür, Gruß, Jörg.
#10, Never reveal what preps you have stored away, for that can get you many unwanted visitors when a crisis happens, thus your personal safety can be at risk also...
I've noticed over the years that some people want to know Everything about you! But those same people will disclose virtually Nothing about themselves!
I got better advice from the comments than the video! Thanks everyone! Guess what, I’m 63 years old, I was worried about how short life is and thinking if I’m blessed I might have 20 years left. Why worry! Wastes time!
Best way to avoid a problem especially is do not be friends with anyone, no coworkers, or personal friends, I found a great woman who we married long ago she feels the same about life. Friends are obligations and like all people eventually they will disappoint you for multiple reasons and they will not be your “friend “ anymore. So my advice is trust nobody, be cordial but don’t make yourself a target by becoming a victim I mean friend.
You have a dysfunctional understanding of what building a friendship means. You're going to be a lonely person especially if your spouse predeceases you.
If I took this advice, I'd fell like hiding under the bed. I'm in my sevenities and free of others opinions. They are fully entitled to form wrong ideas and jump to all kinds of unwise conclusions. If we are secure with ourselves, no self-defense is necessary. If we are insecure, then I guess we have to over-protect. That's sad.

When anyone asks my age, I reply, "I am old enough to remember when there were patriotic Democrats, and young enough to wear cloth underwear". When asked about my sexuality, I respond with, "You aren't my type." When asked about family secrets, I say, "You are looking at it." When asked if I take any medications, my response is, "I take a special substance that makes my nostrils immune to your breath." People leave me alone.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I tell everyone I'm 72. Proud of it, proud of my accomplishments, and proud to say...."I don't give a shit what anyone thinks."

Who is the author of this book?
Perfect advice wish l learned way earlier
Glad to hear it!
Great wisdom for us aging
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Thank you. It is a balance. I think you have to show some of the cards life has dealt you as these probably define you in later years. Too much silence and secrecy on everything, people will end up not really knowing you. Also, sometimes a trouble shared is a trouble halved, the receiver can actually help you rather than bottling things up by getting concerns off your chest. There’s weight that lifts from the shoulders sometimes when you hear a voice that agrees with you. We are all wired differently. Yes, I also dislike “braggers”, certain things don’t become relevant in later years as we are all back to equal.
our sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Thank you. Great principles to follow.
Thank you very much
Number 8 : My oldest brother ( a Preacher ) called me the other day . He's worried about my spiritual health, after half an hour I asked him if he had had this conversation with his sister , and he said no , well maybe you should ! I haven't heard back from him ! She wants to buy a piece of the old farm for .10 cents on the dollar ! Any advice on how to proceed ?
Thank you very much
They are looking for your farm. I guess you are the eldest. Never reveal anything that may occur re illness etc. to them. They will take advantage. You gave a great reply to your brother re the sister. A nursing home hopefully would not be in his thoughts. Take care
Donate the farm to your brothers Church
❤Be who you are❤ and say what you feel,because those who mind do not matter and those who matter do not mind.

I wish everyone who reads the comments after watching this meaningful video always peace, happiness and success! 🙏🙏🙏
I am now 68 and have learned, one thing you never discuss regardless with relatives, sometimes spouse or partner and close friends, is your financial situation. In other words, keep your mouth shut about things mentioned here and you will be happier. If someone asks or pries, change the subject or leave. Anyone that wants to pry into your business is up to no good, remove them from your life.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Reasonable and helpful! Thank you so much!
Glad it was helpful!

Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
You are a hero. You inspire me
Great. And in my opinion, important future intent should not be shared either. Because revealing plans prematurely can expose you to unnecessary risks, manipulation, or interference from others.
Excellent - thank you!
Thank you very much
There is nothing wrong in revealing one's age. There is nothing to be ashamed of in revealing one's age if one wants to. One doesn't "have to" but it's fine to do so. It's a matter of one's own own internal confidence and sense of sovereignty. Who cares about what others think about your age?
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
These comments are so true old school hard times Mississippi truth be told
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Lots of wisdom here. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much ❤️
A lot of good advice but I have to say that now I am older the opinions of others has less and less meaning, I simply no longer care. I’m friendly but I let very few in. My circle of friends is quite small since they have an apparently incurable habit of passing on. I instinctively keep my personal information private, period. I mostly want to be left alone to live my life out in a quiet peaceful way, which seems to be an increasingly difficult reality to attain.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
When you aged people think you are hopeless confusing person. They don’t know you are very smart and intelligent person. I keep my age for myself.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
1. money

Genau, diese 9 Dinge gehen Andere nichts an, man macht sich nur angreifbar und ist leicht das Opfer von Spott oder herablassender Bevormundung, sowie "kluger " Ratschläge, wenn man das Alles preisgibt. Danke dafür, Gruß, Jörg.

#10, Never reveal what preps you have stored away, for that can get you many unwanted visitors when a crisis happens, thus your personal safety can be at risk also...
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
I've noticed over the years that some people want to know Everything about you! But those same people will disclose virtually Nothing about themselves!
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
And beliefs. Prayers and hugs

I got better advice from the comments than the video! Thanks everyone! Guess what, I’m 63 years old, I was worried about how short life is and thinking if I’m blessed I might have 20 years left. Why worry! Wastes time!

Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Best way to avoid a problem especially is do not be friends with anyone, no coworkers, or personal friends, I found a great woman who we married long ago she feels the same about life. Friends are obligations and like all people eventually they will disappoint you for multiple reasons and they will not be your “friend “ anymore. So my advice is trust nobody, be cordial but don’t make yourself a target by becoming a victim I mean friend.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
You have a dysfunctional understanding of what building a friendship means. You're going to be a lonely person especially if your spouse predeceases you.
One thing they all have in common- worrying about what other people think and say about you. Persevering your dignity (Pride)
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Here’s my mantra: now that I’m old, I have zero f@@ks to give. It might not work for you, but it sure works for me!
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
Unfortunately betrayal will be an awful surprise
I agree with your opinion, thank you very much
Only if your deceived first
If I took this advice, I'd fell like hiding under the bed. I'm in my sevenities and free of others opinions. They are fully entitled to form wrong ideas and jump to all kinds of unwise conclusions. If we are secure with ourselves, no self-defense is necessary. If we are insecure, then I guess we have to over-protect. That's sad.
Your sharing is wonderful, thank you very much
