Psychology says the loneliness that arrives after 65 isn't an inevitable feature of aging - it's the accumulated result of every friendship that was allowed to thin, every phone call that was delayed, every invitation that wasn't extended, compounded quietly over decades until the social life that once maintained itself without effort requires more effort than it has ever required and more energy than is currently available - Silicon Canals

Loneliness often stems from a series of small decisions that weaken social connections over time.

The real challenge of aging parents lies in the subtle shifts of authority and uncertainty in their decision-making.

Research suggests the likeability drop that many people experience after 60 correlates almost perfectly with an increase in self-reported life satisfaction - which means the trade most people make without realizing it is that they exchange social approval for internal alignment, and the people who notice you've changed are almost always the ones who preferred the version of you that prioritized their comfort over your truth - Silicon Canals

Retirement planning faces longevity risk as Americans live longer

A 65-year-old man today can expect to live to 84 years old, while a 65-year-old woman can expect to live until 86. For plan sponsors and advisers, that translates into a potential distribution horizon of at least 20 to 30 years. Without incorporating realistic longevity assumptions into glide path design, withdrawal strategies and income solutions, participants face a heightened risk of outliving their savings.

Why doing a mix of exercise could be the key to longer life

Don't put all your eggs in one basket when it comes to exercise - doing a variety of different physical activities every week is the key to boosting your health and living longer, a study suggests. After tracking the weekly exercise habits of 110,000 men and women in the US for 30 years, researchers found active people who did the greatest variety of exercise were 19% less likely to die during that time than those who focused on one activity. That effect was greater than for individual sports like walking, tennis, rowing and jogging. The total amount of exercise you do is still key, experts say, but doing a range of activities you enjoy can bring lots of benefits.
