The whole of it is sad...I mean, that fact that all of us beginning at a certain age need to begin to activate some life hacks is sad in so many ways. I wonder also, what did our peers 1 or 2 or 3 generations ago do at a certain point in their life to cope against ageism...assuming ageism was even a pronounced thing? (I say "pronounced" because i assume there has always been a thing of kicking the older folks to the pasture, but not sure if it was the same as nowadays.) /sigh
