FOR THOSE WHO ARE 60 yrs OLD AND ABOVE, PLEASE READ THESE WORDS   OF WISDOM CAREFULLY, REFLECT AND PUT THEM INTO ACTIONS. 

🚩Between 60 and death. It's time to use the money you saved up. Use it and enjoy it. Don't just keep it for those who may have no notion of the sacrifices you made to get it. l.
🚩Warning: This is also a bad time for investments, even if it seems wonderful or fool-proof. They only bring problems and worries. This is a time for you to enjoy some peace and quiet.
Keep a healthy life, without great physical effort. Do moderate exercise (like walking every day), eat well, and get your sleep. It's easy to become sick, and it gets harder to remain healthy. That is why you need to keep yourself in good shape and be aware of your medical and physical needs. Keep in touch with your doctor, do tests even when you're feeling well. Stay informed.
🚩Always buy the best, most beautiful items for your significant other. The key goal is to enjoy your money with your partner. One day one of you will miss the other, and the money will not provide any comfort then, enjoy it together.
🚩Don't stress over the little things. You've already overcome so much in your life. You have good memories and bad ones, but the important thing is the present. Don't let the past drag you down and don't let the future frighten you. Feel good in the now. Small issues will soon be forgotten.
🚩Regardless of age, always keep love alive. Love your partner, love life, love your family, love your neighbor and remember: "A man is not old as long as he has intelligence and affection."
🚩Be proud, both inside and out. Don't stop going to your hair salon or barber, do your nails, go to the dermatologist and the dentist, keep your perfumes and creams well stocked. When you are well-maintained on the outside, it seeps in, making you feel proud and strong.
🚩Don’t lose sight of fashion trends for your age, but keep your own sense of style. You’ve developed your own sense of what looks good on you – keep it and be proud of it. It’s part of who you are.
🚩ALWAYS stay up-to-date. Read newspapers, watch the news. Go online and read what people are saying. Make sure you have an active email account and try to use some of those social networks. You'll be surprised at what old friends you'll meet.
🚩Respect the younger generation and their opinions. They may not have the same ideas as you, but they are the future and will take the world in their direction. Give advice, not criticism, and try to remind them that yesterday's wisdom still applies today.
Never use the phrase: “In my time.” Your time is now. As long as you’re alive, you are part of this time.
🚩Some people embrace their golden years, while others become bitter and surly. Life is too short to waste your days on the latter. Spend your time with positive, cheerful people, it'll rub off on you and your days will seem that much better. Spending your time with bitter people will make you feel older and harder to be around.
🚩Don't abandon your hobbies. If you don't have any, make new ones. You can travel, hike, cook, read, dance. You can adopt a cat or a dog, grow a kitchen garden, play cards, checkers, chess, dominoes, golf.
🚩Try to go. Get out of the house, meet people you haven't seen in a while, experience something new (or something old). The important thing is to leave the house from time to time. Go to museums, go walk through a park. Get out there.
🚩Speak in courteous tones and try not to complain or criticize too much unless you really need to. Try to accept situations as they are.
🚩Pains and discomfort go hand in hand with getting older. Try not to dwell on them but accept them as a part of life.
🚩If you've been offended by someone – forgive them. If you've offended someone-apologize. Don't drag around resentment with you. It only serves to make you sad and bitter. It doesn't matter who was right. Someone once said: "Holding a grudge is like taking poison and expecting the other person to die." Don't take that poison. Forgive, forget, and move on with your life.
🚩Laugh. Laugh away your worries Remember, you are one of the lucky ones. You managed to have a life, a long one. Many never get to this age, never get to experience a full life.
My valued friends, enjoy peaceful life at this point in your life ...
Don't worry... be happy. 🥰

FOR THOSE WHO ARE 60 yrs OLD AND ABOVE?

 

Today this is too pessimistic.  60 y.o. should not even be middle-aged.   Perhaps more fitting is THOSE WHO ARE 70 yrs OLD AND ABOVE.   

 

Some items in your list are ageless, not to be left for later.  Others don't need to wait until a specific age, it is that the opportunity for doing them appears later in life.

 

Besides these, In general it is a good list.

The list seems too long for me, like putting too many ingredients into a simple cup of tea.  I have already fulfilled the entire list by being reclusive and elusive.  Nothing complicated for me.

Good for you!  We are entitled to choose what goes into our cup of tea.  But how you fulfill these items by being reclusive and elusive:

 

🚩Regardless of age, always keep love alive. Love your partner, love life, love your family, love your neighbor and remember: "A man is not old as long as he has intelligence and affection."

🚩Try to go. Get out of the house, meet people you haven't seen in a while, experience something new (or something old). The important thing is to leave the house from time to time. Go to museums, go walk through a park. Get out there.

Not gong to lie.  I have difficulty trying to love my neighbour.  Instead of trying to make others happy,  I feel happy for not trying.  (Reclusive)

 

Getting out of the house?  I don't get out of the house to be seen,  I wanted to be unseen in or out, to enjoy maximum relaxation  (elusive)

LOL!  I like your way of thinking.   I am not too different.   I hardly ever see my neighbors, and I am happy and relaxed in my home.   And I don't see the need of "love thy neighbor like you love yourself".  I love myself much more,  and my neighbor... he can love himself too if he wants.

Some people may give you more problem in your life (bitching, jealousy, pouring their problems onto you etc.) than when you are all alone enjoying the peace and serendipity (towards the end/later part of your life).

 

Do you agree? 😅
