And we heard over and over [in Legacy Project interviews] that it turns out, for most, to be much better\u2014it\u2019s an extraordinary surprise. It\u2019s a potentially, really rich time in the life course.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Maybe it\u2019s time for our 70s to get some love.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Read:<\/strong> These are the Best New Ideas in Retirement<\/p>\n<p><strong>Recognizing what\u2019s of value in life<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Paul Irving, a Milken Institute Senior Fellow and former Chairman of the Milken Institute Center for the Future of Aging, calls our 70s \u201cthis wonderful little window in which we really recognize, more than any other time in life, what\u2019s important \u2014 what\u2019s really of value.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Irving, the author of \u201cThe Upside of Aging\u201d who recently turned 70, notes: \u201cI think I have a different, and frankly more sophisticated and nuanced ability [than when I was younger] to see through challenges and understand the range of solutions that can be brought to bear and not be intimidated by the complexities of work or the complexities of life. I don\u2019t think I\u2019m unusual in that regard.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Pillemer says our 70s is an important time \u201cfor people to engage in experiences they want to remember, and lay the groundwork for the rest of the last third of their life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>A period of regeneration when you make the effort<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Dennis believes your 70s can be a period of regeneration and opportunity, if you make it so (as she did).<\/p>\n<p>In her 70s, Dennis told herself, \u201cI need to be engaged in things that I feel are important, with what I call \u2018good people,\u2019 \u2018interesting people,\u2019 people doing good work.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For her, that included leading a retreat for the board of a convent.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think the way to be fulfilled is, rather than trying to seek happiness by saying, \u2018How can I spend my money for a <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/trip-and-travel\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"10\" title=\"Trip &amp; Travel\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">trip<\/a> to the Caribbean and what can I buy myself?,\u2019 it\u2019s better to think, \u2018What can I do for other people?\u2019\u201d says Douglas Kenrick, 74, an Arizona State University evolutionary social psychology professor currently on sabbatical.  <\/p>\n<p>Americans in their 70s often decide, \u201cthey want to engage in activities that may create a better future that they themselves won\u2019t live to see,\u201d Pillemer says.<\/p>\n<p>In the words of the Greek proverb Encore.org Co-CEO Marc Freedman likes to quote: \u201cSociety grows great when older people plant trees under whose shade they shall never sit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Happy with their relationships<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The AARP\/National Geographic survey found that Americans in their 70s were especially pleased with their relationships with friends and family; 81% rated those relationships excellent or very good. Just 69% of those in their 60s felt that way.<\/p>\n<p>The ponytailed Kenrick told me: \u201cNow, most of my happiness and fulfillment depends on how my two sons and grandkids are doing.\u201d He and his son David just published the book, \u201cSolving Modern Problems With a Stone-Age Brain.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>But the <em>number <\/em>of relationships people in their 70s have has diminished over the years, according to the AARP\/National Geographic survey.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMaking meaningful relationships later in life become more difficult,\u201d says Schurman. \u201cIt stands to reason, because older populations are more likely to experience the loss of friends and the tightening of their circle over time.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Wertheimer agrees, saying many work relationships are transitory and transactional. In your 70s, relationships are often what he calls \u201cmore authentic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Concerns about health prospects<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The clouds that hang over the heads of people in their 70s, according to the survey: fears about their future health.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019re worried about prospects for diminished hearing, heart health, stamina, bowel and bladder control, the risk for cancer and autoimmune disorders, and issues around mobility and cognition. Dementia risk, Pillemer notes, rises from 5% at 65 to 17% for people 75 to 84.<\/p>\n<div data-layout=\"inline\n                \" data-layout-mobile=\"\" class=\"\n          media-object\n          type-InsetMediaIllustration\n            inline\n  article__inset\n          article__inset--type-InsetMediaIllustration\n            article__inset--inline\n  \"><\/p>\n<figure class=\"\n        media-object-image\n        enlarge-image\n        img-inline\n        article__inset__image\n      \" itemscope itemtype=\"http:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\"><\/p>\n<div style=\"padding-bottom:52%;\" data-subtype=\"photo\" class=\"image-container  responsive-media article__inset__image__image\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" srcset=\"https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=540&amp;size=1.9248120300751879 540w, https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=620&amp;size=1.9248120300751879 620w, https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=639&amp;size=1.9248120300751879 639w, https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=700&amp;size=1.9248120300751879 700w, https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=700&amp;size=1.9248120300751879&amp;pixel_ratio=1.5 1050w, https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=700&amp;size=1.9248120300751879&amp;pixel_ratio=2 1400w, https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=700&amp;size=1.9248120300751879&amp;pixel_ratio=3 2100w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 639px) 100vw, (max-width: 979px) 620px, (max-width: 1299px) 540px, 700px\" src=\"https:\/\/images.mktw.net\/im-595867?width=700&amp;height=364\" alt=\"\" title=\"\">\n      <\/div><figcaption class=\"wsj-article-caption article__inset__image__caption\" itemprop=\"caption\">\n          <span class=\"wsj-article-credit article__inset__image__caption__credit\" itemprop=\"creator\"><br \/>\n            AARP<br \/>\n          <\/span><br \/>\n  <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p>       In a 2020 YouTube video, Age Wave consulting firm founder and CEO <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3n3ckPkunRQ\" class=\"icon none\">Ken Dychtwald reflected on what it was like for him to turn 70<\/a>: \u201cI have to say, physically, it\u2019s been a bit of a descent. I worry about the slope of that descent becoming more steep.\u201d But emotionally and spiritually, the author of the new book, \u201cSages of Aging,\u201d said: \u201cI feel like it\u2019s been a nice kind of ascent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The advice from aging experts in their 70s and 80s is to do all you can to stay as healthy as you can.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDuring the pandemic, I saw two people,\u201d says Dennis. \u201cMy daughter and my fitness coach once a week.\u201d She likes to cite geriatrician Walter Bortz\u2019s line: Disease in old age is not the enemy; it\u2019s frailty.<\/p>\n<p>Says Dennis: \u201cI want to push frailty out to 100.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>To keep fit, Kenrick takes long bike rides and walked 10 miles shortly after his last birthday. Irving told me: \u201cWhen you and I are done talking, I\u2019m getting on my exercise bike and I\u2019m going to do 10 miles.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In his interviews with older Americans, Pillemer says, \u201cI heard over and over someone who started as a tennis player becomes a pickleball player; a hiker becomes a walker. People who age successfully in their 70s optimize what they can.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The boomer attitude hits 70+<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Wertheimer thinks the upbeat attitudes of many people in their early- to mid-70s are partly because they\u2019re boomers. It\u2019s the way they\u2019ve lived their adult lives, he believes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTheir sense of exploration, of hope, of curiosity \u2014 I think those are traits that stay with you for life. And I absolutely believe that\u2019s influencing their mind-sets,\u201d he says.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see it anecdotally all around me,\u201d Wertheimer adds. \u201cThe number of people in their 70s who are going on road trips to go to museums rather than just resorts? They\u2019re learning; they\u2019re curious. They want to try new things. I do think the seeds of being boomers in their youth \u2014 those don\u2019t go away. And if they can apply that in their 70s, that\u2019s a beautiful thing.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>The \u2019U List\u2019 \u2014 worth watching<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>From time to time, I like to point readers to <a href=\"https:\/\/buradabiliyorum.com\/en\/category\/watch-movies-tv-seriess\/\" data-internallinksmanager029f6b8e52c=\"8\" title=\"Watch Movies &amp; TV Series\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">movies<\/a> and TV shows dealing with retirement or older adults and there are two worth mentioning now because we all could use a few laughs.<\/p>\n<p>The new comedy film \u201c<a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.imdb.com\/title\/tt8323668\/\" class=\"icon none\">Jerry and Marge Go Large<\/a>,\u201d starring Bryan Cranston and Annette Bening and streaming on Paramount+, tells the real-life story of retirees Jerry and Marge Selbee who figure out a way to win the lottery and revive their Michigan town with the proceeds.
