i'm a history buff. my parents are divorced.
Aging is definitely tough, unfortunately I am already old, lol. That is unfortunate! Reaction time is something that goes with age also, but a positive with aging is that we become wiser
Yeah that's true, I just hate being in a retirement home instead of my own home. That's a good point too, I mean my family was helping with that. Oh that's great to hear! I agree the people can be great. Good plan, socializing and keeping active is important. Do you like to travel? Do you want to live in a city? I'm the same, I don't like to be in the big cities, but I don't want to be isolated either. Travel is the best.
Actually, I think I wouldn't miss all the maintenance that goes with home ownership as I get older. When my parents divorced, my mom moved into a retirement home and she loves it. There's always someone to chat with. I've already decided I'm going to sell my home and rent, just for that reason. I don't like being isolated. Yes, I thought I would enjoy home ownership just because, historically speaking, it's what Americans strive for. But I'm ready for something different! I love to travel! I want to live in a medium size town, not a metropolis. I love stores, but not horrible traffic. How about you? Yes, I love history, so traveling to places I've studied and read about has been a blast.
i so agree ! with retirement you'll get to do so much ! i so agree ! with retirement you'll get to do so much ! they sure can . so , on a more positive note , what do you like to do ? definitely . mine is really helping me learn more about socialization . yes , actually . i have always dreamed of living in the countryside , though . you ? it sure is ! one day i would like to travel . do you travel at all ?
I completely understand. I stay home with my four kids and wouldn't have it any other way. Family should help as much as possible. Man it's so much fun to just have a good conversation with people. YES! I used to be very social but I have had enough of that and now I am happy to be at home and at peace :0 Some. Mostly in tourist areas I imagine. I'll try to learn some of the language, though, to make it easier I totally know what you mean. I live in a smaller city now and it feels a lot cozier than larger cities I've lived in before.
Retirement sounds like a nice way to just not work and relax forever, no need for employment Yeah! Also in many poorer countries there are still no pensions. Support is given to old people through the family. it is! I usually take my grandmother to her yearly survivors meeting. Oh definitely, also habits are important to education too! I prefer being in the country I think, the city just has too much going on for me. Agreed! I grew up in Hawaii, where the life expectancy is amongst the highest in the nation. Do you like large cities or smaller towns?
