I read a quote recently that said something like when you’re born, you take a poop and people cheer, and it’s all downhill from there. 😜

I will! I haven’t been able to attribute this to anyone yet, though I imagine the wording is a bit different. Do you have any idea who might have said this?

Nope.That chart doesn’t work for me. I’m retired and although I enjoyed my career, I’m just starting to live. I need about nine lives to do all I want to do. Guess I’ll have to come back as a cat in my next life.

I’m not too concerned about how much I contribute to the economy in terms of measurable output… I like to think of my output to be related to contributing to society and making a difference in people’s lives. And that we can all do until the day we die 🙂

I think this gets lost in the graphic. Retired people aren’t *supposed* to be contributing to the economy anymore. They are being Masters, and Mentors, and Sages. Where’s the graph for that?

Exactly, Sandy! I just posted something about that on LinkedIn a couple days ago! The govt. needs to stop raising the retirement age! Get those young people in there AND let us retirees mentor them with our wisdom, knowledge and experience!

Forgive my middle age-ness but I think I finally have the courage to reach the goals I set back when I didn’t know anything.

I agree with Sandy Sue, My mum is 75 and Dad is 80 and they are still contributing back to the community in many ways with kind deeds and as Mentors. 🙂

Reblogged this on sherriemiranda1 and commented:
Well, I just published my debut novel at 58 and have many more to go so I definitely don’t fit into this line graph. Say what you want, but any smart young person would look to the sages in our society & learn as much as they can from them!
And by the way, now at 59, I actually feel better than I have most of my life. My mother liked to call me a “sickly child,” so as I got older I did everything I could to prove I wasn’t sickly. I am doing quite well these days. My “Tom-boy” sister, on the other hand, had open heart surgery recently. Fortunately, she is taking much better care of herself now! 😉 ❤
Peace, love & great genes & health to all,
Sherrie
