The best things about growing older

You’re only as old as you feel!

It’s not just an adage…it’s true according to a new survey of people over 65.

90% agree you’re “only as old as you feel”…and here are some of the best things about growing old:

  • Having more free time
  • Not feeling pressure to do anything you don’t want to do
  • Having grandchildren
  • Finding pleasure in little things
  • Realizing there’s more to life than work
  • Wearing clothes for comfort, not style
  • Not caring anymore what other people think
  • Finally having a clear idea of what’s important in life
  • Not always having to worry about the future
  • All the discounts! 

They also said you’re not officially “old” until you hit 77…and even then, it’s all good!
