Old age is a big issue when a person reaches it. Lots of mental and physical worries start climbing on our back. I am in the late thirties, however ,I started feeling a lot due to the future of my life. I have to save a lot of money for my future use (even though I DON'T HAVE NOW). I HAVE to think seriously about my daughter because I SHOULD settle her with all. I have to take care of my wife who needs a permanent house for her. Asides these wants, I also have to take care of health since I am suffering a lot due to cold and allergy. What a life! A person has to bear all the above said happenings in his life.
How you feel about this?

I just want to enjoy my life for I have been working for decades already and I need a break. I dont have serious illnesses thank god. But I know I am already old. (my sisters will all get mad at me when they read this, because I am the youngest in the family. LOL)

Old age is nothing to be feared of. It is a segment of life we must be very thankful of for having reach and attain this period. It is a rare blessing, a place reserve for those who have successfully passed the test. The test are so many mentally, physically, worldly, spiritually, etc. Having hurdled all these tests, he or she can now self-realized he has reached old age when he's retired from employment at age 65. This is the age when one considers he has done his utmost for the good of his family, relatives, friends, community and the country in general.
The question how one feels having achieved old age is answered by the following words or group of words: thankful to the great almighty, pride, contentment and happiness for having passed all the complexities of life.

For me, age is mostly mental. You are only as old as you think. I wonder why you are making a problem out of this. You are only in your late thirties. It means you are still very young. Don't worry about anything because it is worrying that makes people sick and grow old fast. Chill.

hey Manasha,
this is really a good question asked by you and i believe that no-one will deny the fact the answer will be negative most of the time.
yes its true that no one like to grow old nor people like to lose their youth and the look they possess in their young age.i believe that nowadays you do not have to answer the question also as you can see whole lots of adds and diet control measurement along with lifestyle articles, heath related magazines and off course surgeries and anti aging treatments taking on a ride these days.
After seeing all these one question comes to my mind " is old age that much unnecessary to us?" why cannot people accept that nature have its own way of nurturing us, taking care of us and witness the end.
I believe that people are actually scared of negligence , rejection and loneliness.people are afraid of the lack of respect and the kind of treatment oldies usually get. But there is one stage in everyone's life when that person id not young nor he or she is old, that time is the most vital stage as that time a person can reap and earn benefits of what he ave done all through these years and this is the age of wisdom, when the person actually understand himself than no other being and strive to maintain his or her dominance due his years of experience which is the result of greying hairs.
I believe that one should be enough conscious to take care of their old age by engaging in meaningful acts which will earn them favoritism and respect which actually they need them the most in their life.

I am at the middle age now and I realise one thing.
My son got the same flu, he is healed in 3 days. The
same flu I got from him stays with me now which is more
than 2 weeks already. Since I am weaker, even I got cough
too. I need to keep fit once I am healed. Many people says
" Grow old gracefully", but they forgot to tell us how ???
Since you are at your 30s, you are at the peak of your career.
Build your future so that you will have financial freedom later :)

I am sixty three this year. I personally think growing old have it pros and cons.
We have the chance to see and experience so much in life. Have the opportunity
to earn while we work. However, once I retired life take a turn where there is
no more stable income, worries begins to set in. Health wise also must take
care and our physical body getting weaker. Have to watch the food we take as
we need to monitor our cholesterol level, blood pressure etc. That's part and
parcel of life. Therefore, do not worry ... live life to the fullest and grow
old gracefully :)

I do think about it often of growing old which is normal when you are over 50 years of age, when you have children you want them to be alright in the future,but what the society give us is not much that it has to offer. The government is not something to count on eather. We are concern about our adult children too, because of the area we live in there is no future either for a good paying job or else. So that mean we have to go back where we come from because where we are the government help the poor to become poorer and to be sure that you kids does too. That what I think about. I think it good to be concern about someone needs. What my husband and me are the most concern about is if he skip a day of work, we are sure to heat pretty lean that week. We are very thankfull to have God to turn to.

You will always feel old at every age then when you are older you found out that when you think you are old you are not that old at that time. Be grateful and your health will improve. Sometimes not having enough money now its not because you did not save enough, it could be some other reasons that need you to be around more at home or in one station. Know that it is for the good reason or you might not reflect to your situation now. By the way it is so sweet and responsible person you are to prepare for your love ones future. If the need is strong it will get you where you want. I been there did that and want to share it.
