He tried and tried and tried.
Before 69, the kids are struggling to earn a living, get established and scrape together the time and money to get home. Plus, you may still be working.
After 69, health issues may really start to kick in.

Do you realize that the only time in our lives when we like to get old is when we’re kids? If you’re less than ten years old, you’re so excited about aging that you think in fractions.
“How old are you?” “I’m four and a half.”
You’re never 36 and a half....you’re four and a half going on 5. You get into your teens; now they can’t hold you back. You jump to the next number.
“How old are you?”
“I’m gonna be 16.” You could be 12, but you’re gonna be 16. Eventually.
Then the great day of your life; you become 21. Even the words sound like a ceremony You BECOME 21....Yes!!!!!
Then you turn 30. What happened there? Makes you sound like bad milk. He TURNED; we had to throw him out. What’s wrong? What changed? You BECOME 21; you TURN 30.
Then you’re PUSHING 40....stay over there.
You REACH 50.
You BECOME 21; you TURN 30; You’re PUSHING 40; you REACH 50; then you MAKE IT to 60. By then you’ve built up so much speed, you HIT 70.
After that, it’s a day by day thing. You HIT Wednesday...
You get into your 80’s; you HIT lunch, you HIT 4:30. My Grandmother won’t even buy green bananas. “Well, it’s an investment, you know, and maybe a bad one.”
And it doesn’t end there....
Into the 90’s, you start going backwards. “I was JUST 92.”
Then a strange thing happens; if you make it over 100, you become a little kid again. “I’m 100 and a half.”

Well. At least I have 69 to look forward to.
I’m gonna start telling people that I AM 69 so they’ll tell me I look good for my age and they’ll assume I must be happy.
That was great, dfwgator!
Coaching high school baseball into my sixties, being able to still hit, catch and throw. One of the happiest times of my life for sure.
23 is 1/3 of 69. I wonder how 46 compares.
Seventy is the new fifty.
I’m almost there. I’ll let you know.
Bull$h!t.
Each person is an individual. Averaging individuals’ numbers does not give you valid conclusions.
You’re happiest at 69? Sigh. Someone please tell my endlessly whining sister.
You want to die, painfully if necessary.
You want to die, painfully if necessary.
"U-shaped" indeed.
Jagger just turned 70 this week.
