[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP how old are you? Do you really want to suggest people in their 60s can’t manage? [/quote] DP. I think we need to be open to the idea that many (not all) people in their 60s don't actually manage that well. Our perception of people in their 60s is heavily influenced by the fact it's "normal" to work into your 60s in the U.S. and public benefits dont start until mid to late 60s. But that doesn't have anything to do with physical and mental ability. Yes, some people are hiking the AT at 65. But many more are reaching that age with hearing loss, balance issues, rigid thinking, scary driving, etc. Pretending everyone's grand until 70 helps no one. [/quote]
