Dear Sir, A very wonderful advice. May I also add that in old age restrain
yourself in your food and drink and pushing your body. Take care of the body; its
a duty. The mind must be a friend of the body so keep happy and contented friends.
It is very easy for the mind to turn against the body and punish oneself with
bodily harm. It is best not to compete physically with young men.
Best regards,

Dear friends,
Good morning.
Here is a good article on how to be safe monetarily in the old age.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------
How to stay 'safe' at old age:
1. Do not retire. If you're over-aged, retire and get all the benefits but find
another income-generating job or open a business that will keep youactive
physically and mentally.Travel and bond with true friends,play a sport, learn a
new hobby and volunteer in your community or parish. Don't loaf around. Your
spouse will hate you because you've become a sloppy, listless bum with nothing
good to say about the household and things that you never bothered about before.
Solve crossword puzzles, play Scrabble, write your memoirs, and above all, read
...this will keep you alert and keep Alzheimer's at bay.
2.Live in your own placeto enjoy independence, privacy and a solo life.If you move
in with your children, your rank or degree of importance is reduced to that of a
bed spacer who has no place of honor or, worse, like crumbling furniture merely
displayed with no added value. Might you kowtow to conform to their own rules that
are not kind, considerate or mindful of you? If you witness your children engaged
in a war of will and wits
with your grandchildren, whom will you side with? Will they even appreciate your
arbitration? Remind your children that silence is not a sign of weakness; you are
merely processing data that is taking longer to complete.
3.Hold on to your nest egg,bank deposits and assets. If you want to help your
children, do give, but not to the extent that you wipe out your life's earnings,
singing heroically not a shirt on my back nor a penny to my name. Staying solvent
and in the black is a good hedge against all kinds of tempests. You will sleep
better, you will not be afraid to express your opinion and you will be confident
about yourself.
4.Don't believe your children's promiseto care for you when you grow old
priorities change. Many children are not guilt-ridden or filled with a sense of
moral obligation when the wife and offspring take top billing in their lives.
There are still children who would consider it a privilege to show compassion,
genuine love and deep concern for their parents but be warned that not all
children think alike.
5.Expand your circle of friendsto include young ones who will definitely outlive
your old BFFs. Keep up with new inventions, trends, music and
lifestyle including all the scams and schemes you should guard against. Remember
that when you mix with the young, you also open a fresh avenue to channel your
thoughts, experiences and values through so that the lessons you learned are not
lost, forgotten or buried with you.
6.Be well groomed and smelling freshof spring water all the time. There's nothing
more depressing than seeing people exhale when you walk by because you reek of
baul (camphor chest) or lupa (dirt). Old age or bust, don't look and smell like a
corpse when you're not one yet.
7.Do not meddle in the life of your
children. If they ask for your counsel, give it, but be ready to accept that they
may not take it. Their situations in life cannot be compared to the situations
that you experienced in your life. The playing field has changed and they need to
develop their own set of survival skills. If you raised them to be street smart,
they can handle themselves in tough situations and be able to read people.
Champion and encourage their dreams and desires but on their own terms.
8.Do not use old age as your shieldand justification for turning grumpy.There's
nothing more annoying than an arrogant, old fool. Welcome each day as
another chance to be kind and forgiving, to yourself and to others.
9. Listen to what others may say.Do not throw your weightaround just because you
are a septuagenarian or a nonagenarian. You are not a depository of knowledge.
Even if the roles have been reversed, make growing old a fun-filled, pleasant
experience for you and your brood.
10. Pray always and focus on your eternal life. You will definitely leave
everything behind, afinal journey detached from burden and care. Be more accepting
that, sooner, not later, you will croak. Prepare your swan song with a
humble and contrite heart. If you believe in a merciful and loving God, there is
no need to strut like a star. Nobody is.
Money - Your last power at old age !
