What type of elderly person are you going to be?

How are you going to dress? Jogging bottoms? Slacks? Shirt and tie with natty cardigan? T-Shirt and shorts?

Are you gonna be healthy? Going on rambles and walks? Settle down with quieter hobbies like crochet, painting, reading? Will you be down the local pub/bar pretending to play golf?

You going to still game? Single player only? Take the grandkids out every day?

Going to be a driver? Maybe own an RV or kick back with a nice saloon touring the country?

Hopefully I will live that long. A few members from my family died to heart attacks and I feel that it will be how I will go too. But if I do, I will probably stay at home and use VR to see all the places that I did not get to see in reality. And play Star Citizen and GTA 7.
I dont think Ill reach that age bracket
Yep. Me too.

After accompanying my mom through her dementia and the nursing home circuit during her last years I can sympathise.

Personality wise I'll be the same.
What matters is staying independent & keeping my apartment.
Everything else will be gravy 🤠
 
Growing old is my dream. Well, technically, retirement is my dream, but realistically it'll only happen if I grow old.

I plan to do everything I do on the weekends and love but all the time: video games (best with friends); going for a run/walk; watching TV; making music; writing (very) occasionally; eating ridiculously good food.

In addition to the above, I want to move to a low cost-of-living country and live on the ocean. There was a remote beach (Otres Beach 3) a few miles from Sihanoukville, Cambodia I visited where an older American expat owned a bar/restaurant on the ocean. He hired locals who seemed happy to work there. He's living my dream. I hope this isn't racist in a way I'm not considering (colonizing or subjugating somehow). The people working there made relatively good money. This is right around the place:

I have no woman and no kids, so I am doing my best to save/invest money like a Scrooge and stay physically active because it'll all be up to me. I pray to be healthy and to have enough money to not die in a gutter, and I hope the same or better for everyone.

One that a young person meets and never forgets meeting hopefully. One that can impart wisdom but also respect others perspectives.

But im more likely to bizarrely die in my 50s from a 1 in 1000000 disease than have that chance.

The dead kind hopefully.


I don't want to live long enough to see my body fail me.

Chances are I won't live to be elderly but we'll see.

If I do live to be elderly I'll be an old drugged out perv.
