I'm 67 and I agree with everything you've said. I'd also add that you can be your own best friend because no one stays in your life forever and it's good to create boundaries, especially with toxic and guilt tripping people etc.
One thing I no longer care about are late appointments. Turned up at the dentist for a power clean, had to wait a bit then they found that the machine was broken, they were so apologetic. I didn’t really care. I got out, walked to the dentists, and back got my daily steps in and had a lovely chat with two charming lady dentists. Getting stressed out about it would achieve nothing.
Being late is just rude. And 'getting your steps in' is just a made up myth. The idea of walking 10,000 steps a day comes from a hugely successful marketing campaign launched ahead of the 1964 Tokyo Olympics. The number was chosen because the Japanese character for 10,000 resembles a person walking, and the idea caught on.
@@tooyoungtobeold8756 They were late because the machine was playing up. who mentioned 10,000 steps? Although there is evidence that the more physically active you are, the longer you will live. I was not going to let a minor occurrence ruin a nice day. Sun was shining, birds singing, etc.
Having retired 2 years ago, 60th birthday next week, this latest posting is absolutely on the nail for me. Liberating and re-affirming. Good advice all round. Keep up the good vids.
I am 59 in a month's time. Since becoming very sick and having to medically retire, I adopted these measures (+ a few more) 4 years ago - all power to you and enjoy your retirement !
Hi, it’s not I don’t care, it’s who’s opinion I value and the realisation that life is too short to be upset. Smile, breath and move on, I’m still happy. Take care M.
I find your videos very genuine and your approach very down to earth, you avoid resorting to gimmicks. I am 53 and planning premature retirement. Your videos are guiding me in this journey.
Absolutely spot on Nick. I retired at 67 and enjoying the freedom of not dealing with people every day. I too had goals and budgets and so relieved to be away from it all. My goals these days are to wake up and enjoy my day. I still go to the gym at 6am and enjoy my time with my new wife of just under two years. She is retiring early next week and will be enjoying time away in our caravan. Thank you for the informative video
I grew up in York and enjoy watching the streetscapes and hearing your accent. I've lived overseas for the past 30 years, am 55 and am retiring next year. Great advice.
I turn 60 in two days, and I applaud you and this post Nick. Every point you made is 100% so valid for how I am starting to see things in life. One thing I do now, without even thinking about it is to live life to the fullest, do what you enjoy, don't wait or waste a second thinking about whether you should do this, or do that - just do it.
I wrapped up work at 59 due to Stress and too many hours...At 60 last year i was diagnosed with Cancer and had the Surgery and Chemo which finished in June. 12 months on it has returned and my outcome does not look good atm..Moral of the Story do not put all your life in to work and if possible retire before 67 if you are a male...Good luck..
I get you Nick. I stopped working at 70. I'm 73 and like doing things: cooking, baking , working out (still have 6 pack abs and well muscled), mtn biking, walk the dog (dog walks me) 30000 steps most days, help my family out with lawn cutting. I do take a complete rest day every week. Definitely like meeting motivated younger people. Canadian winter's on its way so, I enjoy the winter as much as the spring, summer and fall. I want the prettiest corpse ever when my I pass.
Wise words and good advice as always. I have only been retired for a few months and still adjusting to a new life style. One thing i don't miss about working are the stressfull days trying to please too many people at once. The one i am trying to do is keep active and now i walk a lot more than i ever have. It will take time to reach my ideal weight, but at last it is going down. Looking forward to your next video.
@@nickjmaher I am the same, if i sit in front of my PC for too long it takes ages to start moving easily again. As soon as i get a slight pain in my thighs i know it's time to take a walk.
I’m almost 59 and I don’t give A holes 🕳️ the time of day !! Congrats on your youthfulness and enjoyment of life . Love and regards from Tempe Arizona USA 🇺🇸 (currently in the UK) 💪🙏🇬🇧
Number 5 tickled me as that's me all over! Some days I know I'm not in the right mindset to do a certain task so I just don't do it. I know it means that some days I put some things off but I always end up getting around to doing the important things. This isn't an excuse to do nothing every day though, just choosing certain days to do certain things when I'm feeling it more and not beating myself up for it when I don't.
Hi, I’m approaching 70 and what a great list , with you 100%. A few years back I read a hugely popular book called “the subtle art of not giving a fk” by Mark Manson, it was a game changer for me mentally. I think the hardest thing for me on your list is trying not to feel guilty not doing anything productive especially coming from an engineering background while the most liberating is not giving a damn what people think about me. 😀
Hi Nick, Great Video, I agree with you Sir, since turning 60 and now retired, I concur on all points. Greetings from Melbourne, Australia. I really enjoyed the scenery and walking tour of the City.
I agree with all the points you raise here. I'm 62 and I have more or less have the same outlook as you. The reason I don't make RUclips videos is I suspect someone would criticise my appearance. And I think that lack of empathy to someone else is awful.
Thank you for the endorsement. If you want to make videos you could have a channel where you film what you observe and do a voice over narration. No need to ever be seen. There are many successful channels doing that.
Since my 40,s I’ve stopped visiting family who can be nasty as in 2 faced,as for friends most are gone but I easily make friends being a musician,neighbors can be real nasty I’ve no time for them now in my early 60,s health in tatters so take it easy enjoy my community garden,great place for meeting new volunteers.
I enjoyed my job. I retired at 60. I’m 63 now. I just wish I’d stop dreaming about being back at work. Every morning I wake up and try to figure out what my tiny brain is trying to tell me?
I can so relate to this thinking, Im now 65 and gave up my job as a long distance trucker at 55, use to travel all over Europe and the UK and would be away for upto 4 weeks at a time, now i just dream about being back in my truck enjoying the freedom and taking in the beautiful scenery I used to see when trucking abroad.
One of the great freedoms of early retired is that people can't complain to your employer about things you might say or do outside of work. It's one of the trends of the 2020s. I had a pension company contact my employer because I was always complaining about their fund performance on LinkedIn.
Hi Nick, basically it is avoiding stress, which as we get older ( I, being 66) is harder to deal with. Annoying people, expectations,etc., are all potential stress situations. I now, after too many years, have the confidence and necessity to shut these factors down. By the way, I am American and find it downright rude when people should comment on physical appearance. Thanks for sharing…
Nice goals! I am in my mid 40s. Semi-retired as I can pick and choose what to work on and when to take time off. I have kind of started incoporating some of these in my life.
Excellent video. It's not so much being 60 or any other age but being retired and having a pension or other income that you cannot be sacked from. Pure independence.
At the age of 60, I felt that I wanted to start getting into the retirement zone. Luckily the company I work for had no problem Now working a four day week, feel much less stressed and to be honest not that much loss in wages. Start taking it easy , if you can afford to. Make time to enjoy your last era of life.
Retired at 65 from the construction industry and started casual work for a undertaker one later and still doing it at 72 and I really enjoy it. What I have noticed is that with age I have become more tolerant and less tolerant both at the same time.
I'm 62 and retired at 58, I decided I was not going to say no to things i have never tried anymore, for example, the wife wanted to go on a cruise and I had a preconcieved idea that I would not like it. I'd imagined all sorts of reasons why I would not like it, we went I loved it, now been on 2. Also I decided I was not going to get involved in any campaigning for example the new housing estate everyone is up in arms about, im just not bothered.
Really enjoying your videos. you’re definitely getting into your stride with the RUclips videos and I think your delivery is more relaxed and flows better with each video. I find the subjects and your perspective on them very helpful. It’s a good guide of what’s ahead for me as a 51 year old .
At age 70 I went back to work part time as my freelance photo work was not recovering after the big shutdown. 4 evenings a week at a local national hotel chain. I still have days free to pick and choose any freelance photo jobs at a higher rate to make it a worthwhile use of my time. So many hobbies,play music and plan to pool swim a mile non stop for charity this year. Meet lots of interesting guests ,learned bar work and food serving as Lorraine much happier.Yes, I am a late transitioner.
Yes I have to agree about expectations of others. If you expect a lot they will always let you down sooner or later, but that is just the way it is! Luckily I was self employed for the last 25 years of my working life, always did my best for the customers, Never had to deal with idiot managers as I was running the show. I learnt very early that some managers had no interpersonal skills just 'I'm in charge' mentality way beyond their COMPETENCE. I also knew some VERY GOOD ones. I was never good with 'assholes' and never held back in telling them!
Early 50s, still working and I already adopt those 5!! Needless to say I am not exactly aspiring for greatness. I care for my own wellbeing too much. I also follow my sons philosophy - 'Nobody cares when your dead!' P.S your from Wetherby? I'm an ex Taddy chap. Thanks to Fade to Grey you appeared on my screen.
Great video. Early 60s now. No 1 I adopted in my early 50s (why did I wait so long?). No 2, in my late 20s (no time for that). No 3, tougher to give up but I hear you. No 4, still working so can’t quite give it up yet. Soon though. No 5, I get it. I’m mostly there.
ooooh , I think you might be a fellow biker, known many and I dont know if its a personality type but many from all walks of life and back grounds have a philosophical , critical thinking take on life. What a great inspirational vid, more please. You are one of the escapees of SLAVELANDIA and our movement is growing, well done Nick and welcome.
Knocking 61 now and find that you just think, holy crap, where did all those years go? There must be some kind of law around age related time inflation, which is to say that the value of each year in terms of perceived time reduces as you get older. So yeah, grab the bull by the horns and get on with it I would say!
Just found your channel great video I agree with all your points. I'm 71 and got rid of a narcissist husband who kept me so busy I wasn't allowed time to myself. I can't help care for people but a girlfriend got me involved in a tea n biscuits club and out most nights to music n dance I didn't see it but I was being used once she snared the man in her sights she dropped me. I do my own thing now I recently in a class heard we are not responsible for anyone else's happiness. That hit hard I wish I had learnt this as a child life would have been a lot easier. Best wishes x
Seems we've come to similar conclusions organically! Wish I'd done the 1st two, especially, MUCH earlier in life but water/bridge. I'm an older parent so have to wait a bit (60ish, 4 more years) to exit US stage left but amazing Thai wife makes it easier. WELL done and thanks for your post!
Life is to observe, relate, and to react... The only choice you get is how to react. 8 billion people, 3 billion seconds of life, if you reach 95, 1 billion down for sleep. 7000 lanuguages and 4000 religions on a planet with 200 countries... And english is misunderstood often..... Good video.... My blood presure remains stable knowing, you can't change anything about anything except, yourself....
Very enjoyable, I am similar in most respects. As for expectations I have had few of people for a long while now and if they deliver its a pleasant surprise. I too am not working anymore and I noticed a long time ago that profesionalism was much diminished in many walks of life. As for keeping busy I don’t feel the need to be doing something every minute of the day but I have different levels or gears of busy. I can feel fore filed on much less than I once did and am quite happy this way. Cheers and thanks for the insight.
I like your list, it was a bear having to put up with AH customers handling them with kid gloves or you'd get a write up from mgt over something that was entirely the customer's fault , and yeah you do you, no one but you really cares too much about what you do as long as it doesn't specifically involve them, just try to keep somewhat mobile and active, and notice sudden changes in your health that might need to be addressed sooner than later.. .
Really great video. im 60 now and just retired. How did you eventually connect with your old mate again? What brought you back together as mates. I love York too..went to uni there! Cheers
Great video! Wise words but who will really listen? You can only try and plant a seed. I wouldn’t make it an age thing ie now at 50 or 60. Start today…
Maces, clubs, kettlebells I avoid heavy deadlifts and only do front squats, I have rarely seen anyone using correct techniques in lifting, usually too much stress is made on the back and knees. It will be inevitable joint damage. Usually it’s an ego driven lift and the weight is actually too high to work the correct muscle groups.
At 66 and now retired, some think I have been learning to speak Russian because many replies end with off. Productive? Not anymore as I am well happy not having to work anymore making assholes richer.
Hard to achieve goals? Do you mean like that bloke Xaviera Hollander wrote about who booked ten girls to celebrate his seventieth birthday, but only managed seven?
Are you sure that you don't get your teeth fixed just because your wife will say "OK, who is she?" even though she knows perfectly well that there is no 'other woman'?
I'm 67 and I agree with everything you've said. I'd also add that you can be your own best friend because no one stays in your life forever and it's good to create boundaries, especially with toxic and guilt tripping people etc.

WELL done and thanks for your post!
Good vid, thanks!
Glad you liked it!
People are entitled to their opinion but they are not entitled to insult you with their opinion
I. Have a saying & found out that. It’s. Not the Work that,s Hard ITS The people that’s. Hard work
Life is to observe, relate, and to react... The only choice you get is how to react. 8 billion people, 3 billion seconds of life, if you reach 95, 1 billion down for sleep. 7000 lanuguages and 4000 religions on a planet with 200 countries... And english is misunderstood often..... Good video.... My blood presure remains stable knowing, you can't change anything about anything except, yourself....
Thanks for your endorsement. I appreciate you sharing your viewpoint.
I hear you. Life is short. Take some naps.
Very enjoyable ! Thank you. Good attitude !
Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for your endorsement.
No 6…..I don’t need or want a relationship…..No grief or hassles or having to be considerate
Very enjoyable, I am similar in most respects. As for expectations I have had few of people for a long while now and if they deliver its a pleasant surprise. I too am not working anymore and I noticed a long time ago that profesionalism was much diminished in many walks of life. As for keeping busy I don’t feel the need to be doing something every minute of the day but I have different levels or gears of busy. I can feel fore filed on much less than I once did and am quite happy this way. Cheers and thanks for the insight.
Thank you for taking the time to comment and sharing your viewpoint.
With you 100% !
Amen brother!
For what it’s worth, this American viewer appreciates the info.
Unfortunately, assholes abound! 😎👍
Thanks for the endorsement. They sure do!
I like your list, it was a bear having to put up with AH customers handling them with kid gloves or you'd get a write up from mgt over something that was entirely the customer's fault , and yeah you do you, no one but you really cares too much about what you do as long as it doesn't specifically involve them, just try to keep somewhat mobile and active, and notice sudden changes in your health that might need to be addressed sooner than later.. .
I’m pleased you approve. I appreciate you sharing your views and experience.
Really great video. im 60 now and just retired. How did you eventually connect with your old mate again? What brought you back together as mates. I love York too..went to uni there! Cheers
I appreciate your endorsement. I bumped into him a few years ago and invited him for a coffee. It was the start of making up.
Great video! Wise words but who will really listen? You can only try and plant a seed.
I wouldn’t make it an age thing ie now at 50 or 60. Start today…
Thanks for the endorsement. If one person listens and changes direction to a better life than I’ve succeeded. You are right about age.
Weve walked that wall its great.
Spot on!
All decent changes to make, I'm of a similar opinion.
You are absolutely correct
Thanks for the endorsement.
Twice as long to do half as much, is my philosophy
If someone is concerned about what others think it only effects one person yes ya got it yourself, so fk everyone who's negative about you.
Interesting. Thanks.
You're welcome.
Thank you👍
You’re welcome!
I don’t do Deadlifts and mixed martial arts anymore. 😊
Maces, clubs, kettlebells I avoid heavy deadlifts and only do front squats, I have rarely seen anyone using correct techniques in lifting, usually too much stress is made on the back and knees. It will be inevitable joint damage. Usually it’s an ego driven lift and the weight is actually too high to work the correct muscle groups.
You need yoga in your life. It's a game changer.
Not for me, thanks. I’ll stick to hiking and lifting weights with exercises that have less chance of injury 🤕
Hey Nick, good for you. Now just wait ‘til you’re 80 like me, and your list will be ten times longer.
Can't wait! 😂
Is that a Belstaff your wearing... very smart...
It is. Thanks. I love Belstaff.
At 66 and now retired, some think I have been learning to speak Russian because many replies end with off. Productive? Not anymore as I am well happy not having to work anymore making assholes richer.
I appreciate you taking the time to comment and share your views.
Great tips…. But how do you keep yourself motivated to get up in absence of goals?
I can't speak for Nick, but I tend to just relax and enjoy myself.
No idea. I still have goals. As I said in the video, they are not as complex, difficult and long term.
i don't think it's true that you respect some people's opinions.
you respect their right to state their opinions. that's different.
Possibly.
And Number 6: You don't walk on the walls.
Not in high winds, that’s for sure!
No jeans or trainers after 45👍🏻
Good video Nick. How much of the changes you mentioned in the video are because you retired and how much is because you turned 60?
Thanks for the endorsement. Elements of both, but mostly as a result of my experiences post retirement.
Very likeable fella
Thanks!
You are obviously no longer working, as most of these are unavoidable in the workplace.
It’s not easy if you are still working. I still work a few days a week (on my terms).
I don't put up with itchy a-soles.😂
And so you shouldn’t 😂
Hard to achieve goals? Do you mean like that bloke Xaviera Hollander wrote about who booked ten girls to celebrate his seventieth birthday, but only managed seven?
🤔mmm.
Are you sure that you don't get your teeth fixed just because your wife will say "OK, who is she?" even though she knows perfectly well that there is no 'other woman'?
Ha ha 😂 The truth is I hate visiting the dentist unless I’ve got toothache!
If you think everyone around you is an arsehole, then maybe its not them...
You could be right 🤔
Most of the goals are traps
They can lead to unhappiness if not achieved.
💯😇❤️
🙏
If you get up late, when you are retired, it just means you have less time to do nothing.
I think you should get your teeth fixed if its within your budget !
I hate visiting the dentist. Plus he says the cosmetic dentistry required involves drilling into perfectly healthy teeth 😱
I totally agree with everything you've said brother I am retired and 63 loving life keep on rocking nick🫡🫡👏👏👏
Thank you! Will do! I appreciate your endorsement.
Bloody Nora... I like this bloke!
Some people do 😂
