Moved by the automobile, empowered by the antibiotic, dazzled by the moon landing and preserved by the Internet, today centenarians have an unparalleled perspective on life. These 100-year-olds recently shared their biggest life regrets, keys to longevity and advice for health and happiness in a national survey.
Their insights spanned from advice on marriage (29% say make a stronger effort to communicate) to interesting thoughts on what helped them live to 100 (According to one centenarian, “Drinking all the good whiskey I could get and worked like the devil”) to guidance for saving money to live decades beyond the average life span (1 in 4 felt financially unprepared to live as long as they had). Full of many more insights and advice, the full report, “100 Years of Wisdom: Perspective of Centenarians” is available at 100yearsofwisdom.com.
