We’ll be including this information in next week’s “Retirement Planning from a Christian Perspective” class that covers, among other topics, physical health in retirement.

My wife, who helps teach this class, found this to be a personally powerful message. Her family has a history of BOTH longevity as well as dementia in their 90’s. Learning about actions to maintain cognitive functioning in old age has been a “strong interest” (obsession?!) of hers for 20 years.

Reminds me of the Nun’s Study.

Also, your article reinforces the long range planning and why to wait until age 70 to start taking Social Security. A friend said his uncle waited until retirement to enjoy life. When he got there he couldn’t enjoy it -because of his health. So, he recommended to enjoy life now. Most will not argue with Carpe Diem. But, like many people, he let fate decide his retirement instead of deciding (and acting) on the fate of his retirement. I agree -focus on what you can control.
