Unfortunately eventually we're going to transition into the middle age of our senior years and then eventually the old age of our senior years and at each of those stages I want to look back and say I took full advantage of the years that I had in the youth of my senior years and I want you to be able to do that as well as you approach these years.

残念なことに、私たちはやがてシニアの中年期、そしてやがてシニアの老年期へと移行していくことになる。それぞれの段階で、私は振り返ってシニアの青年期にあった年月をフルに活用したと言いたい。

So let's let's talk about a few of the major learnings and the first one is that my health is much more important than my wealth.

では、主な学びをいくつか紹介しよう。最初の学びは、自分の健康は財産よりもずっと大切だということだ。

My health and my time.

私の健康と私の時間。

Let's talk about health first and while the lifespan for Americans continues to go up unfortunately our health spans are not increasing so we're living longer but how long we have in life with a healthy life is relatively we don't have much time.

まず健康について話そう。アメリカ人の寿命は延び続けているが、残念ながら健康寿命は延びていない。

The World Health Organization reports that the average American's lifespan, the time that we have until we have a major health issue unfortunately is just 66.1 years.

世界保健機関（WHO）の報告によると、アメリカ人の平均寿命（健康に重大な問題が発生するまでの期間）は、残念ながらわずか66.1年である。

That is just 13 months past when many of us are planning on retiring.

私たちの多くが引退を予定している時期からちょうど13カ月が過ぎたところだ。

In fact I like to share with people even if we're fortunate even if we take care of our health most of us are going to have a thousand weeks or less of healthy active time once we reach 60 years old and that time is going to fly by in the blink of an eye and so again I want to look and I want to minimize any regrets and one of the things that that I've learned so I talked about the health the time you know we're fortunate we still have all of this time in front of us and there we want to take advantage of it there's always ways to make more money but there's no way to make more time and a great example of this is one of the richest people in the world Warren Buffett continues to work and and he should continue to work he loves working and he whistles to work every day but but Warren's in his 90s and I'd be willing to bet you that he would trade his fortune most of it to anybody in their 50s if he could trade places with them if they're healthy and that just shows you the value of our time and I want us all to be treating it that way and in thinking through you know how can we be thoughtful and deliberate about how we spend our time what are the things that we want to achieve so we just don't go through this youth of our senior years on all autopilot but we have a game plan and if if if you'd like help thinking through that a great book was written by Bill Perkins it's called die with zero it's got a strange title but one of the concepts in the book is coming up with what he calls not a bucket list but a life bucket list what are the things you want to do the trips the things with friends and family that you want to do and is there an age at which you become too old to do it for instance backpacking through Europe is probably something better done by a 50 year old than a 90 year old so come up with this list if you're married or you have a significant other I highly suggest the two of you read it together and think through what are the things that you want to do for instance for me I learned to surf in my 50s and I'm super glad I learned in my 50s because when you're learning and you're falling off the board the wave is tumbling you and you need some flexibility it gets harder to do that as our flexibility decreases so what are the things like that and what are the things that you should do sooner rather than later and what are some of the things that you might be able to do later that you can postpone so that you can do the other things that require your health and your financial advisor for over 20 years that I've seen is the decision on when you retire is really important too many of us default and we autopilot on 65 because that's that's that's when most Americans retire and and it's also easy to default on a later age just so we can continue to save money right part of the I think that's unfortunate because toys aren't what bring us happiness toys being you know boats and fancy cars yeah they're nice for a while but it's really relationships up how what are you giving up to continue to work once you're financially capable to work and this is not prescriptive I'm not saying anybody should retire early I just want people to be thoughtful and deliberate so they look back and they say I retired at the right time for me I'm glad I made the I optimize on life as opposed to optimizing on on my bank account I've seen people optimize on their bank account and unfortunately that can lead to regret later in life so what's the right thing for you to do and if you're thinking about you know you'd like some thoughts on how you should think about when to retire that's that's something my life experiences has given me and the first one is just just thinking through as I said you know your health in your time and how valuable that is and unfortunately as we work work tends to be stressful and even if we don't feel it anymore after 20 30 40 years the pressure of our job is constantly there right it's always in the back of our minds it's hard to disconnect and that pressure and stress it's very common for people once they retire to say you know a I don't know how I ever had time to but be I didn't realize how much pressure how much stress I was under the second one is relationships think about the relationships that are important in your life and how much more time we're gonna have with those people if you still have young kids at home how many more summers do you have with them how many more barbecues do you have with them how many more camping trips do you have with them until they're off and they lead their own life and with elderly parents if your parents are still alive how many more Thanksgivings do we have with our elderly parents and being able to spend time with them and just valuing that and yes we can can continue to work and do these other things but sometimes particularly spending time with elderly parents some folks might be saying I want to spend more time with my elderly parents but I just can't so think through that if you're financially able to you know maybe think about if you retired could you do the things that you want to do with with your adult parents and the other thing is adventures you know some adventures like traveling they take more time in order to be able to do them one of the things that's on my bucket list is is slow traveling the world and spending a month or two months on different continents and being able to feel like a local in a foreign land for me and I unfortunately I can't take two months off of work right so that's something I have to think about what are the adventures that you're postponing because you continue to work and then the last thing I want to talk about is oftentimes people will say I don't retire because I don't know what else I want to do and that's very common many of us myself included struggle with that but I want to encourage you to really put thoughtful time into it because I think it's highly likely many of us will look back and say I wish I had more time at this stage in my life to do whatever that new purposes excuse the train coming here in the in the background the noise will will end here in a moment and there's a great book before you leave I want to share with you this book it's a book that was written by Arthur Brooks it's called from strength to strength that will help you think through what is your next your next thing after your current job what how do you want to evolve your life how do you get purpose in life and if you found this video helpful I know you'll enjoy this video up here where I appear where I talk about enjoying your 50s and 60s more and seven things to stop doing in your 50s and 60s in order to enjoy life more thanks for watching this video and I'll see you in that one bye-bye

実際、私は幸運にも健康に気をつけていたとしても、60歳を過ぎると、健康で活動的な時間は1000週間かそれ以下になってしまう。この素晴らしい例を挙げよう。世界で最も裕福な人物の一人であるウォーレン・バフェットは働き続けている。しかし、ウォーレンは90代だが、私は彼が自分の財産のほとんどを、もし50代の健康な人と交換できるなら、誰とでも交換することに賭けてもいいと思っている。もしそれを考える手助けが欲しいなら、ビル・パーキンズが書いた素晴らしい本がある。例えば、ヨーロッパをバックパッカーで旅することは、90歳
