      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.

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.

      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.

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!

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.

    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.

      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.

      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.

    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 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.

      @@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.

    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."

    It seems that what keeps older folks active, happy and vital is a sense of 'gratitude.'

    after all these uncertainties
    I think we should enjoy our lives , we don't know when s the last day, young or old . our chance is almost the same, a young person can hit by car car , and old man can live up to 120. we are not the game player in this game. We just have to sit tight and let the ruler play their games.They might send you to the war any time if they want to. just live an be happy as possible. because this is the 2 things I believe is in our control

      @VVIP_Prestige Well said. I always think of life like a chess game. Most of our moves are a reaction to what life throws at us. Life is not perfect and will never be, although, many people try to depict the facade of a perfect life on social media. Just being here alive and well is enough.

    Key take always: be others focused, be selfless vs selfish; find a purpose greater than self; seek life long self improvement, to achieve the unattainable, master your life; have a big goal to serve as your North Star and then put the work in to make it happen; exercise and eat in moderation; spend time with your children

    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.
