The End

Well, this is it. The final Blog. So...What did I learn in Aging in America?

I learned that there are many facets and opinions related to aging, not just mine. Through the various articles and discussion boards I learned many different opinions, all enlightening.

I learned that while I may want to retire soon, thanks to Dr. Gerson's retirement exercise, my bank account screams for me to keep working.

I learned many stereotypes about aging are simply that, stereotypes. Who would have thought that the aging are less likely to be crime victims than other people in society and that they tend to be users of new technology as long as they understand it? I would have thought it would be the other way around.

I also learned that we need to become a society that values their aged because it certainly doesnt seem to be that way today and as I age, I do not want to be moved to the side, have my opinions and experiences count for nothing and people are too busy for me.
