So long as I can afford it - at 67:



At age 77:



At age 81:



Bunga bunga orgy participants of Berlusconi:



I intend to work and continue the same way I do now.
Body depends also on whether you can afford the TRT hormone treatments and other additional activities - and you definitely need sugar for catching the same kind of butterflies as in your 20-to 40s.

Once my body really starts to fail me at 75-80+, I'd like to retire to my local poker room. I will show up every day at 9am and play 1/2 NL holdem and small buy-in poker tournaments all fucking day and talk shit to the young guns and bust all of the dealers' balls. I will leave every day at the same time so I can get the early-bird special at the buffet and beat the traffic home.

All the pretty 21 year old waitresses will know my name and look forward to seeing me everyday because I will be the funny, sweet old man who sneaks them jolly ranchers and tips them $2 every time they bring me a hot cup of tea. I'll tell them they remind me of my deceased wife and/or beautiful granddaughter (neither who actually exist) and they will regularly give me hugs, which will be enough to satisfy any remaining sex drive I have left in my ancient balls.

Everyone there will love me until the day I die. After I go, the dealers and casino managers will reminisce about me and share my stories with other dealers and players until they die too.

Here's another look from a guy who is there already.

In many ways, he is not at all a forum kind of guy, being a dyed in the alpaca, raging hippie sort, counter cultural all the way. He was one of the pioneers of the natural building movement in the sixties. Not a traditional alpha or capitalist, or any of that.



On the other hand, he has made the exact life he wants, has stayed true to his own vision, is hands on self sufficient, is in great physical shape and I think he still surfs and skateboards. Not a smooth character or swankster, he is more of the grizzled outdoor veteran of life.



He's 84. Know how old that is? Some of you are quitting your office jobs to do something entrepreneurial, well he did the same thing, on his own, in 1960.

His name is Lloyd Kahn, and I follow his blog as he travels around the country sharing photos and thoughts about interesting architecture, organic gardening, nature, stuff like that.

He is all over the place, and he may be lecturing at a local college near you if you are in the states. There are people who have been learning from him and listening to him for years.

He is only a little guy, but I saw him speak once and he has got a major presence, I will tell you that.



When I look at pictures of him skateboarding, or read his blog when he talks about it, I don't get the feeling he is trying to relate to the young'uns, or keep current, only that he likes to skateboard.

Here he is with three generations of his family at a skate park, at 84.



If you feel like checking out his blog, and it is one of those blogs worth checking at least once a week, you will see that he has a basic curiosity about the whole world, and that he seems to be plugged in to every thing practical or valuable, or beautiful.

He has a child's appreciation of everything.

(This includes Bootsy's Formula For the Funk Bass.)

One of the things I like about him is his simplicity and honesty. If he is famous for anything, it is for being one of the early adopters and cheerleaders of the geodesic dome house.

This is one of his.



Over the years he came to believe that these sorts of buildings were a waste of time, all the angles ripe for leaks, and the extra time spent on weirdly cut shapes wasted, and forget about furniture fitting a curved wall.

So he changed his mind, admitted he was wrong, and moved on. I can't help but think this also helps you stay vital into old age, as it is far less stressful than pretending you were right about all your fuckups.

By the way, here is his revised bit of advice to people who want to build their own houses. He offers in this post as some advice to the people who lost their homes in the recent California fires (So he has some interest in helping his wider community too.), but the wisdom in here is really gold, and will save a lot of time and wasted money too.

If you have any interest at all in building your own home, I would suggest you check out that post, especially the linked Dropbox document, as there is more wisdom there than you can shake a stick at.

He's got a Youtube channel which often has simple practical advice for living a good life, like how to wash the dishes without wasting water, or what are some good tools for a workshop.

So I wouldn't mind living a life something like this dudes. He has built a legacy in his own niche, one that will never go out of style, one that is of the highest value to people, and he continues to add to that legacy online and in person by doing the things he loves. He is in excellent physical shape, and looks somewhat timeless to me, a sui generis dude.


This post on his blog details his thoughts on being his age.

Deep Old Age

Quote:

In an interview in Sunday's NYTimes Book Review section, Philip Roth, now 84, says"…in just a matter of months I’ll depart old age to enter deep old age — easing ever deeper daily into the redoubtable Valley of the Shadow.…”
And that he’s astonished that he makes it to the end of each day.
Got me thinking about aging. I’ll be 83 in a few months.
Looking back, my golden years physically were ages 50-65 or so, in terms of strength/cardio/flexibility adjusted for age. A lot of this had to do with me working on fitness books — stretching, running, weight training — for 20 years, and hanging out, and stretching, running, and lifting weights with my authors. I was serious runner for 20-25 years, swam, surfed, rode bikes and went to aerobic dance classes (usually the only guy in the class).
Then as I got to age 70, things started needing repair. A lifetime of using the body.
I tell people, the good news is that you’re not yet 70, the bad news is that you will be some day. Since turning 70, I’ve had 2 shoulders and 2 knees and one wrist repaired (no metal or plastic parts) + a compound wrist fracture from skateboarding...yes, I know, I know.

Quote:

Old people get weak more from lack of activity than from ticking of the clock.
I’m so interested in my work these days, I don’t get out as much as I should. BUT each time I go for a hike, or paddle, or jump under a cold waterfall, I feel invigorated, alive, inspired.
Bob Anderson says, “You never hear anyone saying, ‘I’m sorry I just worked out.’”
What I learned in those years, from those guys, was the value of staying fit.
I work on posture every time I think of it. If I see as person with good or bad posture, it's a reminder. Shoulders back, down, relax.
If you don't use it, you are gonna lose it fer shure.
So this is a reminder to myself to get my ass away from the keyboard more often. Mind and body are not separate entities.

Yeah, he is married, only got one woman. Still, you could do worse than a Lloyd Kahn kind of life.

(And think of that, he considers his golden years, physically, to be 50 to 65.)

There's life to be lived yet.

I'm 53, so the 60's are really not that far away. I've had somewhat of a mid life crisis in recent years, that has coincided with taking the red pill and waking up from my blue pill existence. Like many who reach my age, I haven't had everything turn out exactly the way I wanted. You get into a pattern in your 30's and 40's that seems to be going alright, but then you don't make as much career and financial progress as you expected, and your marriage gets worse and worse over time, and all the sudden you're well into middle age, and you can't really start over like a younger person could.

So, I was a little cynical about things for a while, but I've come to realize that I still have several good decades left. There are a lot of healthy guys in their 60's and 70's, living the good life. Heck, Trump was 53 in 1999, and since then he's done a ton of things in his life, not even counting the campaign and presidency. I look at Harrison Ford, who is 75. He still has plenty of vigor. The key is to exercise, take testosterone, and stay engaged in life.

I'm planning to keep fucking young women as long as I can, and even when I get to my mid and late 70's and beyond, then I'll just switch to fucking women in their late 40's and early 50's. Right now these women are too old for me, and I'm sure when I'm old I'll still prefer young girls. However, I expect I can gradually adapt to older women, as long as they're still 20-30 years younger than me.

Even in my 80's and beyond, I want to be like some of the guys mentioned earlier in this thread. Both my grandfathers were quite active in their 80's. Heck, I'll be enjoying the medical technology of the 2040's, and I plan to take full advantage.

Can't think that far away,if I do make it I only hope to be wiser and happy.
Hopefully this will involve me and the wife reveling in our continued company and enjoying grandchildren while rejoicing at the happy turns of our own children that produced said grand kids.

Again ,wishful thinking, but it's something nice to look forward to...
