One of the things working at the retirement communities, nursing homes and assisted living facilities does, is provide you a window into the future. You can readily see what happens to those that decide to retire and do nothing for the rest of their lives--they quickly fall apart and die.
I'm in sync with everything said so far with the exception of the above comment. I'm sure Gary might agree that some of those people in NHs are not there because they gave up or even gave up because they were there. Each case is personal. I just wanted to clarify that I do not accept, nor do I think Gary purposely set out to create such a stereotype.
