"Something got me thinking today I saw an elderly sleeping on the bus then start to think to myself what do old people think about or dream about? Because to be honest after 65 the need for ambition would have fade away. Not trying to be offensive, just trying to understand a perspective. " I think they dream about rich tea biscuits and earl grey mainly. lol. Joking aside though is 65 thaaat old? | |||

Old people have a better perspective on reality .... and don't need to dream in the same way young people so..... You'll understand that when your older " I feel old already as I mention I saw the poor lady keep nodding off and the thought pop into my head. I guess grandkids, kids, gardening, tv shows etc. | |||

"See young people drinking and drugs to escape from reality, feel for them no ambition. Every stick has two ends, for some the pivot is a value like ambition, other lack of knowledge or even skewed judgement. I subscribe to the thought “everyone is doing the best they can; otherwise they wouldn’t be doing it”." Couldnt agree more well said. | |||

"I don't think 65 is that old nowadays. Depending on the life led of course." I agree. I work with elderly people and the "younguns" among them are in their late 70's. I'm not "old" by any means but the old - er I get I realise the cliche that many things only become apparent with age. The "elderly" person you saw on the bus was probably exhausted lol! | |||

"I'd say they just dream and think about dying, I mean what else is left for them." Insulting and stupid remark. As a couple in the 'old' bracket we lead an active and varied life, travelling the world, not worrying about getting up at 6am to go to work, having fun with like minded people, obviously steering clear of bigots and ageists. We enjoyed the sixties but having so much more fun now sexwise. | |||

"When I was ten, teenagers were old people. As a teenager, the thought of becoming 30 was scary. At 30, life was just getting going. Turning 40 was fun, all night party with 200 friends. 50, new career, new challenges. 60...still moving forward. Change of career, city, more travel. My mum keeps reminding me that I should be retired (thank you UK Pensions for pushing that dream six years in the future).When I was a kid, old ladies wore wrinkly stockings and pinnies. These days age is just a number. Great to hear all the positive 'elderly' people on here and I just hope the negative 'younger' ones can cope with their dreary old age." well said! | |||

"60s is the new 40/50s . lol Age is in your head. " Hate to be a dream breaker age is not a number age comes with experience, interest, likely similarities, culture, perspective on things, life, music taste, and much more, of course, there are also people from different generations that will get along and disprove age being a number. like me, I feel I get along well with people older than me than my age group. | |||

"when your old nobody gives a shit. There’s not much help for the elderly unless you have money to pay for 15 minute visits where they only cook a microwave meal or make a cuppa and leave. Social workers are so stretched they never have time to visit and trying to get the simplest of things can be a nightmare. I’m currently looking after a dying parent and without the help of the Nhs he would have gone years ago. It’s a lonely lonely existence. My advise is, make sure you keep yourselves fit as long as you can. Make sure you have money for your old age, don’t rely on the state pension. " Sage advice. I guess most things are easier if you can pay. I just hope my kids are as caring as you. | |||

"We don't stop playing because we get old. We get old when we stop playing! " Exactly. Or to put it another way, our minds don't get old, it is poor health that limits what we can do. Of course, young people can suffer poor health, but it becomes more likely as one gets older. My father was active until within a few months of his death at 77. He compiled examination papers for national examining bodies and co-ordinated the marking. He ran a small mail-order business and he was active in the Church, even running 4 parishes more-or-less single-handed for a while. He retired at age 54 so he could do what he really wanted. | |||

"I don't think ambition would fade away after 65, there are loads of things you can achieve in old age. For instance you can do knitting, sewing, basket weaving, cake making, all highly competitive activities. Also have you not heard of the OAP swinging club down south for the Zimmer frame afflicted 65 year olds? XXX" You can't beat a good old Steradent party. Complan in a basket, musical bathchairs... | |||

We have a great life and thank our lucky stars, that although we have some medical issues(not age related!) We can still lead a fun and fulfilling lifestyle! | |||
