10 Reasons Why Life is Better After 60

10) Living Your Life For You

You have one life (assuming there is no afterlife) and it is filled with the circumstances you have created. You make your choices and you keep them. When you’re younger, you often think about what others might think about the decisions you’ve made — who will like or dislike your lifestyle, and so on.

As you get older, you make more choices based on logic and practicality. You also make decisions on what brings you personal joy at the time. You no longer base decisions on how others may judge them. The opinions of others affect you less and less. Arriving at the ripe age of 60 allows you to live your life just for you, so you pursue choices that will bring you happiness in the time you have left.
