It's interesting that you say that.
My mother is 73, financially independent, and lives like a 30 year old. She flies to Atlantic city once a month, has a blast at the various casinos and malls, always buys the grandkids tons of presents, is a major concert goer, and if the opportunity presents itself, will jump at the chance to have the type of fun most people might think would be well beyond her years.
What keeps my mother that young at heart is fluid cash (definitely helps), tons of vanity (her cosmetic surgeon adores her), and an immence amount of "I don't care what people think" ideals. She shows very few signs of slowing down too.
Life sometimes is as much about attitude as it is about age. I have friends in their 30s and 40s who act more like they're 70. They stay at home, rarely go out, watch way too much television, show little interest in making new friends or trying new things, and constantly worry about the future. Whereas my mother has generally thrived by making things happen for herself and staying away from the trappings of too much routine.
