Financing long term health care is something many people end up not planning sufficiently for, even more so than the impacts of eroding purchasing power because of inflation.
On the flip side, I hear when you get old, often people hold doors open for you, male or female.
Plus you can get senior discounts for lots of things.
But your bones may be creaky, health may decline, and you may not have as much energy as compared to earlier years. So there may be some advantages to checking off many of those "bucket list" travel items when you are younger than older.
When are you "old" nowadays? When you feel old? 55? 65? 75? 85? At least ten years past your current age?
