But there were some really great sort of advanced pieces of advice that I got when I was interviewing experts on aging for my story.
And one piece of advice that I really loved was to try to target your spending to things that kind of tick multiple boxes in terms of health benefits.
And
One example here that I really adored was a gerontologist at Cornell University said that she often recommends that people in older age take up the activity of ballroom dancing because it comes with benefits on multiple tiers.
You have the physical benefits of moving around and dancing.
You have the cognitive benefits of memorizing the steps.
And you have the social benefits of doing this alongside a group of people.
So it doesn't have to be ballroom dancing, but that was one that jumped out at me.
I can personally guarantee it.
that's a fair takeaway from a lot of the stories that I write.
The key here in this case is that it's not as much about the money itself, but about how you use it.
It's thinking about it as a tool to turn the dial on the things that we know to help us live longer.
Yes, both are good.
One idea that came up in my reporting for this article was that it's really valuable to invest your money and also your time in new hobbies and activities sort of throughout your life.
And doing this at a young age is a good way to discover the things that might turn into lifelong passions that you spend all day doing in old age.
It's also really good to sprinkle in novel activities later on in life because those can sort of stimulate you intellectually and socially in a way that just helps you age better.
I went into the reporting for this article wondering how much money you really sort of needed to spend if your goal was to live a longer life.
And a couple of experts I spoke with were really big fans of health tracking devices like the Apple Watch and the Oura Ring.
These are not cheap gadgets, but they were saying that these are worth it.
Having access to health data can give you regular prompts to live out healthier habits.
