    What is the point of growing old, if you are poor?

    If you are poor, really poor, ie: no money to retire on, no health insurance, no family, no real possessions, no real estate, nothing substantial, then what is the point of growing old?

    There is nothing to look forward to except illness and depression. IF you learn to live with your depression, then your body will eventually decay and the medical profession will give you enough pills to kill the pain and keep you alive a few more years, but for what?

    Isn't it better to collect what money you can and have a few days or weeks of insane fun living, then just snuff it? Instead of years and years of pain and depression?

    In this country, if you grow old without decent funds, there is absolutely nothing to look forward to and your level of living just doesn't seem to mean anything.

    A life, not being able to contribute anything to society, really isn't a life at all. It's more of a bacteria's way of life. Alive, but not really alive.

        there are plenty of things you can do with low funds... for example, you could share your wisdom with others by giving others advice, by writing a book, etc... or take on some low budget hobby, photography or wood working...

                        What choice do you have? To give up and die? Easy for me to say I guess. I'm 21. It's a little early for me to ponder such things, but hopefully I'll start preparing and make the most of it.
                        When I'm old, if there's any joy at all in life, and anyone that loves me, it's worth tolerating the things you mentioned. God said He wouldn't give us more than we can bear. It's a thought I hang on to.

                                      Your post reminds me of an eBook I downloaded on amazon. Called "The universe doesn't give a flying fuck about you". It's funny and makes a lot of sense. I remember one passage "if you want to be awesome, do something awesome". The book basically says no one cares about you but you and what you make of your life is up to you. Great book. Free at amazon and it's a quick read.

                                        There is nothing to look forward to except illness and depression.

                                        A life, not being able to contribute anything to society, really isn't a life at all. It's more of a bacteria's way of life. Alive, but not really alive.
                                        I was an abandoned kid and have no family but for my son now. I also worked taking care of people at an old folks home for a year when I was 19.

                                        When I worked at the old folks home the happiest residents, day to day, were the ones helping others everyday, also creators, writers artists, etc.

                                        The more you give the more you realise your value and carve your place in the world, if even for a moment, a day, months or years.

                                        There was a woman I cared for that had become bedridden and blind, she was an author. Everyday I'd go in and she'd recite vivid bits from these awesome stories she had written. To this day I remember her with warmth and fondness.

                                        When I was a little kid and in front of the judge, with my mother on the other side of the family court, after the judge ordered I am now property of the state, he paused and looked at me while I was tearing up and he told me "none of what's happened here is your fault" "life isn't about what's been taken away or what you don't have" "Life's about being grateful for what you have while recognizing the miracles in your life and knowing you're never alone" So of course I became a pornographer

                                        To me, if you focus on all the things you don't have, or might lose, you lose focus of the important things you uniquely possess and have to offer others. Feeling worthless is a red flag that you're not focussing on what's important.

                                        CurrentlySober is a great example. He might be broke as all fuck but he can ALWAYS eat shit, without fail, and THAT, is a gift.

                                          I have kids. I know I would hate to lose my parents. My step daughter has lost her dad and I see the damage it does.

                                          I'm sticking around for them.

                                            People on low incomes rarely have any wisdom to share or skills.

                                            40 years ago, or was it longer? I saw my Father's business hit the buffer's, he picked himself up again and rebuilt it. BUT, the scary thing was he had no life insurance, no pensions and nothing but the roof over his head. It was a very nice house, still no guaranty of income.

                                            Since then I put money into pensions and investments, all long term. Even during the lean years and in the fat years I put a lot away.

                                            Now I have no financial worries and a growing bank account. OK, I'm a miser.

                                            Be warned you 30 somethings, getting old isn't a process that stops. The OP is spot on.

                                              Money isnt everything.. it sure helps but I know many rich miserable people.

                                              If you travel alot you will find some of the poorest countries have very happy people as they have different priorities... cambodia, Thailand, etc.

                                              In the US we've made the almighty dollar central to happiness, which is sad.

                                              That being said, hit me up for traffic, need to make more!

                                                  If you think money alone is going to magically solve any happiness issues you are lacking now or in the future then the problem is bigger than you realize...

                                                    I agree, I have lived in SE Asian for the past 10 years, I've seen many happy people that are poor. People are talking about money brings happiness, BS, just look at all the rich people committing suicide. The problem, people want to be better then others or have more then them... they are competing to see who has more, lol.. feel fuckin pity for them;) at the end of the day, they also wipe their asses with toilet paper.

                                                      Plenty of things to look forward too. Maybe you can date an Olsen twin. Or do they only date rich old dudes?

                                                            money makes life easier but it doesn't make people "happy". if you are unhappy and poor chances you'd be unhappy and rich.
                                                            you don't know you're wearing a leash if you sit by the peg all day..

It's funny and makes a lot of sense. I remember one passage "if you want to be awesome, do something awesome". The book basically says no one cares about you but you and what you make of your life is up to you. Great book. Free at amazon and it's a quick read.

                                                                  We can't do something that might make us look ridiculous, because first impressions last forever. We can't try and fail, because then we'll be ruined forever. Think a scar (or a tattoo, for that matter) is permanent? It's not. Your body was literally formed from stardust and will eventually return there. The duration of a scar doesn't even register on the big time line. In fact, I heard that God watches jewelry commercials and LOL's when they say that diamonds are forever. It's all a big joke up there. There's a drinking game in Heaven, where angels do a shot every time humans invest "for the long term." What are you so fucking worried about?
