Oh damn. I'm going to be another year older this year. To be exact, I will be 29 years old and approaching my thirties. It makes me wonder what I will be doing when I’m much older, perhaps in my senior years. I don't have a plan for my senior years at the moment. It's just so far ahead and I'm more focused on the present to the next five years. I do roughly know what I want and don't want in my senior years though.
In my senior years, I want to be active. By being active, I can stay healthy and my mind won't deteriorate as fast so I hopefully avoid getting dementia and other health issues. In addition to that, if I do end up having children and grandchildren, I would want to treat extended family dinners for special occasions like what my grandfather is doing now. I feel that having extended family dinners is a great way to keep in touch with all the family. I'd also be down to play sports. I think I could still play pickleball and maybe I would be able to pick up golf. I'd also want to pass down my knowledge to children and grandchildren if I had any; I'd try to do it without it seeming like a lecture or anything maybe in a fun way like a form of a story.
On the other hand, there are some things I don't want to happen during my senior years. I don't think I'd want to be in a senior center. I think the moment I could no longer take care of myself would be when I feel it's time for me to go. I also do not want to be working in my senior years. I've seen some old people still working (those that need to work to survive and not just working to pass time) and I just don't want to be in that situation.
To summarize and end this post, I need to LOCK IN right now and for the next twenty to forty years so I can ensure I am in a good position during my senior years.
