    My biggest regret is marrying. It derailed my life in the worst ways. And a divorce at 60 screwed that disaster (and me) permanently to the wall. I lost all belief in, and hope for, humanity. Time for this world to just implode altogether. Hopefully the next generation will learn something from us.

      My divorce was finalized 2 hrs ago. At 53, I'm free! Don't give up man, get out there and live your life. Get your body up, get your money up, and treat yourself like no one can. No one treats me better than I treat myself. Don't be discouraged, shake it off and get back in the game. We got a game to win.

      I also experienced the same in my late 60s. Ex wife stole all my life savings when i was helping my elderly mom. There was nothing I could do about it as we had joint accounts. She cleaned out my banks. I regret being married for almost 40 yrs only to have everything I believed in destroyed. I am totally alone but doing fine now. Even saving some money. Young men please DON'T get married. Listen to us old veterans of life to save you from destruction.

      I was warned not to try to time the market. Lost what is worth $700,000 worth of shares through ignoring that and attempting to do so. Sometimes we dont want to take advice but think we know better. But I tell you what, how many people hold 1/3 a million in Tesla shares AND know how to HOLD it through its volatility AND KNOW its value will be 7x in future? Look for the blessing in disguise.

    I think there should be a law that says whoever files for the divorce *must* bear the burden of child support and all fees associated with court filings for child support cases.
    Instead of:
    “I’m not happy. I’m divorcing this dude and he will be extorted for child support through the DOJ against his will.”

    Feelings of regret overshadow gratitude for the life you have had. Grudges and resentments carried forward waste precious energy for no gain. I am married, and that was overall a great decision. We've had our issues, and not every bucket list item is fulfilled, but as my Dad said in his 60s, every day is a bonus day.

    Not so sure about reconnecting with people in your past. Not all broken friendships were meant to be restored. People who you thought were friends, were haters in disguise.
    I have another motto. Those who love and appreciate, who lift you up will be in your lives. And those who were hateful, bad, jealous, selfish, opportunistic and more. They will be sidelined until they change the way they behave around you. Keep giving people the gift of your absence. If they don’t reach out, then your presence never truly mattered to them. And that’s on them, not you.
    In the meantime, keep surrounding yourselves with people that truly care about you. Keep on investing your time, energy and more into those relationships. In life, you have a chance to form two families. Your blood family and your own family. If they aren’t treating you right, you have every reason to walk away from them.
    You don’t necessarily have to push away your blood family. But sometimes they are just like those jealous friends. So keeping them at arms length may be the best way to handle them.
    I think a lot of suicides are directly proportional to how they were mistreated by their own blood family. People can’t seem the fathom that even though you are related, they are still humans and humans have the capacity to cause pain, hurt and suffering. Especially those that are self centred, egoistical, takers, and more.

    One of the deathbed regrets should be, trying too hard to marry for love. The original and long traditional reason for marriage was mutual, practical, material benefits. We are barely even close friends, but we are good life partners who can depend on each other, and who cherish our very comfortable sanctuary from all the chaos.

    Live life that makes sense to you is my philosophy. Try to make peace in this world to allow the soul to evolve into the next world. I prefer simple life and living more basic in the Matrix based systems. Many chase happiness through consumerism which ends up the things you own end up owning you. Finally try not to take things personally in this world forigve yourself and others and move on.

    My biggest regret is not recognizing what a huge decision getting married is in a relation to who you marry.

Will never get married again.

    I am a 61-year-old male (only child), retired and never married. I live in the US. I get depressed a lot and wish I had met someone when I was younger, but I do have my freedom and autonomy that allows me to pursue my hobbies and interests freely and my financial decisions are mine to make. It would have been nice to have had a family, but I do recognize that the divorce rate is off the charts and the size of the MGTOW movement is really incredible. I guess not ever having been married certainly is not the worst thing in the world, considering the situation in western society. The one thing I don't get though is that they say that 65% of young men are not even dating these days, but I still see quite a few young people getting married and having families. Any thoughts on any of this? Thanks!

A lot of marriages that look happy to outsiders are anything but to the parties involved in them. Your autonomy and freedom are more valuable than you know.....until you no longer have either one. Yes they come at a price, everything does. The grass is often not greener on the other side of the fence.

    Thanksgiving Reflection: Speaker reflects on Thanksgiving's past meaninglessness, contrasting it with Halloween and Christmas. Growing older shifted perspective; Thanksgiving gained significance.
    Hospice Insights: Speaker discusses insights gleaned from hospice nurse Julie's TH-cam channel, focusing on deathbed regrets. These regrets inform the video's core message.
    Top 10 Deathbed Regrets: The video details ten common regrets from people nearing death.
    #10 Poor Self-Care: Lack of proper diet and exercise leading to chronic illnesses (heart disease, cancer). Solution: healthy diet (fruits, vegetables, grains, beans, low saturated fat) and regular exercise (walking, weightlifting).
    #9 Excessive Worrying: Worrying about future events wastes time and energy. Solution: stay present; deal with issues when they arise.
    #8 Unpursued Dreams: Regret for not pursuing personal goals and passions. Solution: identify dreams, plan, and act; "don't die with your music inside."
    #7 Family Neglect: Insufficient attention and love given to family (children, parents, grandchildren). Solution: express appreciation, forgive, and cherish relationships.
    #6 Lack of Risk-Taking: Regret for not taking chances and experiencing life fully. Solution: step outside comfort zone; embrace risks and potential rewards.
    #5 Self-Denial of Happiness: Regret for not allowing oneself to be happy, believing happiness is externally sourced. Solution: cultivate appreciation and gratitude for present circumstances.
    #4 Lost Friendships: Regret for losing touch with friends over time. Solution: reconnect with old friends despite past issues.
    #3 Unexpressed Feelings: Regret for not expressing gratitude and love to loved ones. Solution: express emotions and appreciation, even if uncomfortable.
    #2 Overwork: Regret for working excessively, neglecting other life aspects. Solution: balance work with family, personal interests, and well-being.
    #1 Lack of Self-Truth: Regret for not living authentically, conforming to others' expectations. Solution: live life according to personal values and desires; reject societal pressures.
    Concluding Message: The video urges viewers to prioritize self-care, pursue dreams, cherish relationships, take risks, find happiness, reconnect with friends, express feelings, balance work and life, and live authentically.

    Geez, I already have eight out ten regrets and I'm not on my deathbed. Maybe it's time to find that bed. 😮 Actually, thinking about it more, taking chances and finding happiness; I got married and am now getting divorced. So I guess I've covered those two regrets as well. I wish I wouldn't have risked getting married because now I have to face the risk of divorce court which does not sound like a risk that has any prospect of good. Finding happiness, maybe that will come after divorce and I can be rid of all her drama and hate. Maybe find peace and quiet. Yup, that just might give me some happiness... 😅😂😂
    On the other hand, maybe it's time to go bed shopping as I don't really have enough years left to undo the other regrets. Plus, my family's all gone, so that's a regret that can't be undone. 😮

    Comment Number 320. On 1. Not being true to yourself. Some teachers are disastrous. "They take the best years of your life. Try to tell you wring from right. But, you walk away with nothing." -- written by Bryan Adams and Jim Vallance. 40 years 🎂 ago in the movie 🎥 Teachers. 6. Be risky. 8 You do not want to die with your music in you. Me: I tie 👔 both of these traits together. I took a risks in 2022: flying to The Philippines 🇵🇭. And I did not let the music in me die before the trip. I did karaoke 🎤 many times. I lost 😞 in the contests. But, the Filipinos taught me to singer better and have better stage presence. I never learned as much about both in Canada 🇨🇦 or in the USA 🇺🇸.
    Bonus. I got into a deep dive into commercial music from Asia 🌏. I took a deeper dive into Original Philippine Music (OPM), from A (Morissette Amon) to Z (Zephanie Dimaranan). Thus, saving money 💰, putting on My Brave Face (as Sir Paul McCartney and Elvis Costello pointed out 35 years ago 🎂 ) and taking the risk of embarrassment in front of 100 or so people in a foreign nation! Happy 😊 life moments.

    I’m the middle child of my family and if anyone knows what that entails, most of us don’t have a good relationship with our families.
    Being sandwiched where the eldest child got all of the attention and the youngest got all of the resources. Due to years of neglect and making to feel like we didn’t belonged.
    Middle children basically had to parent themselves. We are probably the most independent of our family. Most disconnected aswell.
    That’s something the eldest and youngest child will never understand.
    Growing up, feeling like we didn’t mattered, didn’t get enough love, attention or being heard and understood from our family members. As an adult, we became who we were truly meant to be. Heard and understood by others.
    Us middle children end up becoming really good friends with other middle child and life long friends with those who were the only child.
    I look back now and realise this as a fact. If you appreciate your middle child or sibling, please show them more compassion and love. All they wanted was to be heard and understood.

      It might be a good idea to visit your doctor and order up a blood panel. It'll show you exactly where things stand now....and where you can make adjustments if something's getting/gotten out of whack.
      Cost is less than $200, they'll call you with results in a day or so. Or, they may offer a free patient portal so you can see/analyze results online. That way you don't have to try to remember all info in the phone call.
      Also, no harm done to keep an eye on your blood pressure....those cuff monitors less that $40 bucks Wallg or cvs.

      I think the key is to be your authentic self and not allow yourself to get pulled into trying to be someone that you’re not in order to win her favor. I think a lot of men are very afraid of being their authentic selves with women for fear that they’ll be rejected. If you’re pretending to be someone and you get rejected, you don’t feel quite so bad. Just be your authentic self and know the kind of things that are important to you and what kind of things you’re unwilling to compromise on. Those things boundaries and make it clear when she approaches those things that they are unacceptable. But just do it in a polite and kind way. If you remain authentic to yourself, you can have a healthy relationship with a woman. I think too often times men compromise on their values in order to win a woman over. Good luck and thank you.

    After 25 years of marriage, I became the victim of a brutal grey divorce where she got all the cash and prizes. Hypergamy kicked in.. she was bored and found a shiny new toy that moved into MY HOUSE before the ink was dry on the papers. I have nothing for retirement and will be forced to live in a low income apartment or in my van when I retire.
    Marriage is at an all time low and whoever is left are getting divorced at an accelerated rate. The birth rate in many countries has also plummeted. Gentlemen ... do not get married and stay single.... better yet....

Especially when culture is very poor on food like it is in the USA. The basis for healthy diet is basicaly to eat raw food and Cook your own meals. I have noticed that in the USA most poeple can not afford to buy raw food ( meat, fruits, vegetables) because it is very expansive. As a french man i spend a lot of money on healthy ( normal for me) food. But i don t have the choice because eating american processed food makes me sick and depressed.
