(28,858 posts)I'll be 65 in October. I just got my Medicare card, waiting for the
next step for the Advantage part. My monthly premium goes down
$100 just as my rent has gone up some, so that's good. I can live
off my pension if I need to.
I agree about the time part. Sometimes my old memories feel like
yesterday.
Another positive is that I'm so happy and content with life now. I
think that's because menopause has been fairly easy, and the old
PMS was awful... meaning my emotions are on more of an even keel.
Well, it's also because I don't have to work unless I want to, so I
don't feel so much like a wage slave. Lol
The only negative is the physical part. I have occasional back trouble,
and I can't exercise as much as I want to. I also have cataracts, which
my eye doctor will have to keep an eye on.
Otherwise I am very healthy. My blood pressure read 112/75 last week,
and I don't take any meds at all except the occasional willow bark capsule.
Life is good at 65, at least so far!
