Although this group is a small sample, the comments were mostly consistent with the themes across all other age groups. Health is mentioned as a significant theme for the first time by an age group. Considering comments about the negative physical aspects of ageing with concern about health, a correlation can be made that this is more of a health than an aesthetic concern as expressed by younger age groups. This group also conveyed a sense of valuing time, relationships and freedom to still maintain independence and lifestyle.
I have learnt to enjoy the good things in life. 'Health is wealth', is certainly true. Money is necessary, but it is not everything.
