Nahhhh, I'll be gaming till I die and my backlog is fucking massive. Some of us will be just fine. Alzheimer's might even help so I can play games again for the first time and suck really bad.

No you just have no job, which means you can do plenty, just at your own pace. When you retire you should create some goals to accomplish even if it's just visit museums or something simple.

It's not that you have nothing to do when you retire, it's that you lose the passion for doing them. The "reason" kinda disappears.

If you're single, rich and retired, you have about as much chance of pulling a hottie whether you can do a backflip or not, whether you have a six-pack or not, whether you learn a new language or not.

When you're 22, all these things make you stand out from the crowd and so you have a motivation for chasing them. When you're older, anyone you talk to has probably done the same stuff as you already. So now you just kinda hangout.

The point of a society is that the old have even more purpose, as they are now experienced enough to mentor the young and pass along the wisdom they have acquired.

Its because all the people you want to do things with are working. Hah. I am a stay at home Dad and currently am homeschooling. I am home but everyone I know is at work still when I'm done teaching. It leaves any activities that involve mutiple people a little out of the question. So there yes this is true... however there are people with solo interests that can do things they love alone.
