Are You Prepared For Old Age?

Everybody desires to live a long life of 100years and even beyond. This is a natural desire as most people want to see their children and grandchildren settled in life and have dreams of enjoying their company when they retire. But very few realize that this is just a pipe dream or a fantasy. In reality, only very few people have such divine blessings of enjoying their life to the fullest with security, health, and love of their family members. And even such lovely examples may not be true behind closed doors.

The reality is harsh. Most elderly people are completely unprepared, physically, and mentally, for what they are going to face when they get old and what potholes lie on the road ahead, especially after sixty years. Here is a scare list of what to expect when you grow old. So, depending on what is possible, one should start preparing for old age well in advance starting from the time they cross 50 years.

Trouble-1: The number of people you can depend on will reduce. Your wife or husband may fall sick and die leaving you in vast emptiness sorrow that only you must endure. Your earlier generation like parents, uncles, aunts, etc., would have also departed. The younger generation will not understand your pain and they will all be busy with their own lives, careers, friends, adventures, etc. You will have to learn how to live alone and to accept solitude.

Trouble-2: Society will no longer care for you regardless of how fantastic your career was or how famous you were. You will just become one more old man or woman. The spotlight you were accustomed to will no longer shine on you. Your opinions or presence will no longer matter even when you attend parties or family functions.
