It seems I am always the kid most places I go.
Of my 6 closest neighbors 4 were active at age 100.
By active I mean things like driving, golfing, traveling alone to her Condo in Hawaii… etc.
Three of the four are female…
Three of the four born and raised on farms.
None were on the Internet but they all read the newspaper and enjoyed sports or Jeapardy and Wheel of Fortune knowing most or many of the answers.
The man built a very successful AG produce distribution business in several states…
The women worked as teacher or clerical/accounting.
The rest of my neighbors in their late 80’s to early 90’s.
When people ask if I’m afraid living in East Oakland I point to the longevity of my neighbors living in homes they built 60 years prior.
All good at money management but at 104 one had no choice if she wanted to remain in her beloved home except to get an expensive reverse mortgage… having outlived her son, granddaughter and grandchild I supported her plan…
An expensive reverse mortgage can have its place in retirement…
