Live long enough to spend your kids’ inheritance on whatever you like.

I'm 40 and acquired my first Rolex last year. I do not consider 60 to be old in anyway shape or form. If you take care of yourself and lucky to be healthy it's not old at all.

Here is a YT video of Ernie Hudson at 78 that really hits home the impact of taking care of yourself and the benefits.

Not really.

If you have lost interest, just sell them all then you’ll find out if it was “worth it”.

I had a hunch that’s what the 52 meant….Class of 1970?

'69. I was smart enough to skip kindergarten.

I thought that was a good philosophy. Of course, he's dead now, but he knew what made him happy and enjoyed what he had.

Live for yourself, live for the day, don't save it for the next guy.

I suppose I'm the opposite extreme, having acquired my first Rolex at age 50. I've almost worn it 20 years. Earlier this summer I acquired another, at age 69. Now my father is 91 going on 92 and my father in law will be 97 next week. If I'm as blessed I can still acquire new Rolexes and wear them for at least 20 years. Why wouldn't I?

Vintage Rolex, probably yes.

'Should I still pursue my interests over 60'?

Of course, arguably, at this point of your life you should be prioritising interests / hobbies and enjoying the last 20+ years of walking this earth.
