re: Seeking advice from the 60+ OT crowd

For me 55 was the point of speedy decline. I’m 61 now, and I still do everything I used to, but the last six years is weighing on me. At 55 I still felt like “I was as good once as I ever was”. I wasn’t, but I still felt that way.
My wife started sliding then, too. I get laid about half what I was getting at 55. It’s still very respectable, though. 45 to 55 were the absolute best for sex. These are good years!

At about 52 or 55, I lost all interest in work. I used to be driven to success and my whole life revolved around making money. I still enjoy the folks that I work with, but couldn’t give a frick about working any more. The moral of the story is, you had better work to be as successful as you want to be in life by your mid 50’s, because after that your priorities will change and it gets pretty tough to put up with any amount of shite.

Do what it takes for you to be debt free by sixty three.

If you train jiu jitsu, don’t roll with white belts.
405 should be the time you wake up, not how much you can bench, deadlift, or squat.
Running to the refrigerator is about as far as you should run.
Never pass up a restroom and for the love of God, never ever trust a fart.
I’m only 52 btw.

Trim your budget and throw everything you can at your retirement and plan to retire early.

Great advice. At 64 you won't care what a lot of people think about anything.
Open a savings account only (hopefully pays good interest) with another bank that is in your driving area other than your main one. Mobile or physically deposit a few spare $s as you get them. It will add up, especially if you make it inconvenient to quickly withdraw or move it around online.

Start Pilates now and stick with it.
Whatever your saving, double it.

Save every penny you can. Retirement is difficult without a big retirement account. Frugality now will be rewarded later on.

That’s exactly how I saved up money for our forever home. Paid off first house, then doubled up my house payment only this time it was to my savings account. It was at Barksdale and I had to drive to another town to make a withdrawal.
It was a pain in the butt to get money out, so I just left it there. In 10 years saving, I was able to pay cash down payment and only finance 50% of my new house. I sold my old house, and am owner financing it so it’s paying most of my new house payment.
It was hard at times seeing all the new truck’s coworkers were showing up in while I drove my old 10-12 yr old truck and knowing I had enough to pay cash for 2 of them, but it paid off in the long run.

Start stretching and stay physically active. I used to walk a lot but now I ride my bike. You'll feel better and sleep better. I'm 64 and I have working man's lower back. It locks my hip and hip flexors up. I learned to stretch and it helped a ton. I also work a physical job which helps but you've sure got to learn how to work smart or you pay the price.

I’ll be 50 this year and I can already feel the importance of stretching regularly. Used to play a tennis match then go straight to lunch and cocktails without stretching… no issues. Already considering to cutting back to tennis only 3 days/week, which means leaving 2 teams, and adding yoga 2-3 days a week. Everything hurts a little more this year.

You got 10 to 15 good years at your peak experience and knowledge, and still have a decent physical ability (not like in 30s). Make the best of those years. People need your experience and wisdom despite what the youngins think. Most companies love to find the perfect candidate that might be loyal for their final work years with all the experience that comes with a seasoned guy. Leverage it big time if you have the opportunity.

Having a rural country retreat is good advice. It lowers your blood pressure better than medicine can. Maximize your contributions to Retirement, HSA’s, any tax exempt accounts, 529 plans for grandkids, etc. Volunteer and pay forward as much as possible as the dividends pay unreal dividends that will shock you in many ways you’d never expect. Stay married if at all possible.
Be thankful for what you have and be kind to others less fortunate. Call your mother and father and obey the 10 commandments. You’ll be fine..
