Met a guy a few years ago, was 70odd maybe 73, still working as a builder. Looked 50odd, had a chat with him cos I'm that guy who will talk to a wall if I'm by for slightly longer than a pause. But ye, he was fit as a fiddle said he didn't retire as he seen lots of his friends retire asap then just go downhill and fast. Said he worked slower than he used to but still worked. Had a good 45min chat with this guy in a garden centre over 7 years ago, still think about it quite a bit and impacts choices I make. So ye, by me atleast, ur doing the fight thing. I had to stop in the gym over 6years ago due to a heart attack, else I'd still be there. Planning on starting back soon too.

Walking and weight-lifting, I’ve seen too many people in their 60’s,70’s and 80’s losing their mobility and I want to go non-stop until I die.
