I am 57 now and I get told I look like I am 45 by folks.  Many ask me what I do for work and when I tell them I am retired, they look shocked and say how can you have retired already, you look to be about 45.  When I tell them my age they think I am lying.  It is called good genetics, as I have no wrinkles on my face or forehead.  

Me too. People that don't know me are always asking me what I do for work and surprised when I say long retired.

What if it really doesn't matter much what you do and nobody cares what you think?

He is doing it for himself, not for anybody else.

So your mythical 'What If' does not apply.

I’m 75 and when I tell people they say, “Good grief. I’d never have believed that. I would have said you were about 80!”.

Get a job, then you can afford to travel to Thailand.

Some of us with more than 20 years on that still look good too. IMO the answer is to not drink alcohol, do illegal drugs, or smoke.

one question. are legal drugs like weed healthier now?

You really should stop telling people you don't know what to do. You are getting boring.

It's not legal where I live.

If it was I'd be permanently stoned.

That question is usually about money.

 

They are not surprised, they are disappointed because there is no gauge to determine your income. It could be any amount.

 

If it's a job that pays well, everyone's interested. If not, they usually don't want to discuss it.

And here I thought we were talking about Samui/Phangan, not about where you live,

No. The headline does not mention Samui/ Phangan. Can be anywhere.
