My 92 yr old Uncle always said…Money doesn’t buy happiness BUT it makes the suffering a lot easier.

Thank you for giving to the elders the opportunity to share their wisdom. In our youth obsessed society we often forget to listen and learn from them.

Patience, forgiveness and letting go of things.. This should be on a billboard..

This video gives older people more of a voice. After watching his Instagram videos of these, I found myself talking to older people more. This is LIFE CHANGING!

The lady wearing the sun visor is very real and I can tell she’s been through some hard knocks in life but has grown & become very wise she so blesses me! ❤

When I was younger I really did not think I would live to be much older than 35-40. I tried a lot of things and worked dangerous jobs. I traveled all over the world and the US. My body took a beating from all the things I did when I was younger so I am paying for it now. I should have worked harder in school and continued my education so I would not have to work such a physical job now. I'm 58 but feel like 98. Twenty years in the service was rough on my body for sure.

People who say 'money doesn't make happiness' are people who have money. Yes, money creates comfort; it's really tough to be happy when you're worried about losing your home. I think often that seniors don't offer us wisdom. There's no wisdom in saying 'money doesn't create happiness' when you have money. She even said, we have money. It's more poignant when someone tells you that we're not built for happiness, but with a gnawing need for purpose. I was extremely poor and homeless in my late teens and early 20s. I can say with certainty, that having a roof over my head and food to eat has made all the difference in the world, and I had to forgo dreams and spend time around the clock working to make that happen. I had no time for friends or family, because work was priority. Only rich people say 'make time for family and friends; the rest is false gods'. You can't have friends if you have no money. People avoid you like the plague if you can't afford to participate. And family are ashamed of you if you don't earn a decent income. No, I'd say to young people, hustle, get your money earned; don't spend it on bars and restaurants, but invest in real estate, learn a business, and be self employed. Friendships are usually 'deal' friendships and not genuine. They're highly overrated. When you're 90 all your friends are dead anyways. No, find a business to run, find hobbies to spend time with, and you'll be happy. Oh, and tend your health, because whether you die young or old, poor health is no fun. Of course we're looking for security. Doesn't every 90 year old want a secure home, food, safety? Security comes with money in the bank.

Money only brings happiness if it can buy you the time to do what you want. If you are rich, but you are tied to your desk, then how much enjoyment can it really bring. Thanks for these insightful videos. I learn so much from them.

I always enjoy sitting at the feet of old people and listening to their life and wisdom ❤❤❤ I encourage others to do so also.

Properly digested hardship can be a better indicator of wisdom than age. I know plenty of old people with little wisdom.

I want to thank this guy from the bottom of my heart for posting these videos online... These can help many people who are probably confused or struggling in their own lives to gain a perspective of life... With these videos one can get insight into the lives of people whom they can never meet...These videos especially helped me in understanding the cycle of life.... we face tough times and make different choices. But... all we will be having is a bunch of experiences... some may be the best and some might be the worst.... Thank you so much that you took time for making these wonderful videos

Its amazing that with the same questions you can get so different answers and still all of them are profound and show you the importance of the little things in life. Thank you for all your videos ❤

thanks for these videos. they touch me and change my view on life more than anything i have seen yet. before your channel, i never thought about the idea that old people are very important sources for how to get happiness in life. this is very inspiring. i am 27 and i don't want to regret much when i am old.

My 24 years of existence in this world seems to be a lot of pressure and fighting anxiety alone but hearing this wonderful people made me realize that I should not be worried in the first place. I must live my life as it is and be naturally happy and bringing joy to the world. By the way I'm glad you made this video. Thank you so much 🥰. New subscriber here.

Elders give the greatest advice , young people today listen up and get off yer phones 🤗

Focus on what makes you happy and ignore the problems of the world, EXCELLT advice - no stress and no artificial fear. The world will always keep getting better and better

Patience, forgiveness, and letting go of things.

Keep trying a lot of different things. Talk to a lot of people. Open yourself to discussion with everyone, because you never know where it will lead you. ~ My favourite.

I love your videos, especially hearing the older people there wisdom there honesty there failures. It’s why it’s so important to not disregard our elders we need there wisdom godly wisdom most importantly.

4:25 aww, lol. That was cute and sweet 😢 🤧

The older fellow with the cap and cane in the park seems very wise and kind

Thank you so much for this video. It helped me alot❤

I'm learning to speak English and you can't imagine how much this channel has helped me understand it better. If there is an organization to provide support and company to any of these people, it will be a pleasure to be part of them. God bless you!

I really love to listening to these elder people, I'm 26 years old, they literally gave us a huge of experience just by talkin to them, ofc it's not like everything you heard from them need to be followed, but you can filter it. and slowly developing a new mindset based on what they learnt

Awesome, Will. :) Thanks for the vid!

Wonderful, instructive and entertaining. I love this channel.

Thank you for sharing you interviews with very nice people.😊

I love this video so much, I am going to watch every single old people advice video from you!!

Great, absolutely great. Life's invaluable lessons told by those who've been there, seen that & done that.

Exactly, "what would have been good advice ten years ago, doesnt make any sense today" what you cant ignore in talking to people of a certain age, its that they are a part of a certain generation with specific values and customs, upbringing and possibilities!

Your interviews are superb and very valuable.

You post is really one of the best on KZfaq, thank you so much for bringing this to us, Lobe watching your videos from Nigeria

Great interview with all these amazing people who don’t look their age ❤️❤️

He said it's very enriching to be around young people. Hope he knows how enriching it is for us to be around our elders.

Believe me-- when you've slept in your car for a few weeks in freezing weather, or worse, no car, out in the cold and wet, wondering if your toes will survive, you'll be ready to try the happiness of a warm bed. Why doesn't this fella go to a poor area of town and ask these same questions? Try it.

Every day is a gift from God ❤ we are not guaranteed tomorrow

Thannks for youre work.

Money doesn't buy buy happiness when you are rich and still unhappy. But for mist regular people it would definitely help.

You need to compile of all this wisdom into a book my guy

At 70. I am very lucky. A loving wife and family, good health, still working. I feel very grateful .

Well life is too short as it is said most of the time, so we do not have time to experiment and see the results and then. However the experiences being shared are box pack treasures that every young mind and soul and body can listen to and follow by. Thank you very much mr will.

OOOld People are the wisest! Respect!

Great video 🎉thank you

excellent, as always. Post more.

My regret is that I put everyone before myself. Made sure they got to do things like scuba diving, ect and did not do the same things for myself. Now I am in my 70’s.

Money is security and that, for me, is happiness.

Excellent ❤

It is valuable and thoughtful.

God bless it’s blessings your vids ❤️✨

This is GOLD😊

Definitely listening

Love and enjoy yourself. When you look good you feel good. Live your best life, make your own decisions and if your blessed with wealth, be grateful n thankful, with you getting to make the decision of how you spend it. If you don’t, don’t be envious, be content with what you do have 🙏

Nice and valuable 🎉🎉

Your content is very meaningful

The body ages but the brain seems to stay young if you are healthy! You feel as though you want to do the things that you did when you were young but your body holds you back! My advice to young people is don't want and expect too much! If your goals are too high you might never reach them and then you will feel cheated! Do your best and don't let hardships hold you back! Keep persevering and be a good person so when you look back you will have few regrets!

At the crux of all their advice: do more of what make you happy. This involves respecting yourself and your sanity to walk away from stuff that pull you down.

But the interview is exclusively from people who sort of succeeded in their lives and were dealt with the good cards. The not so lucky ones can never bear witness of any kind of regrets, they never had a chance. Like animals who are tortured by humans, they never have a say.

Great video!

its sad that you have only 500K subscribers.... you deserve 100X ... such a beatuful content you are producing...🤟

thank you

Thank you, Will. You're a young man with a big heart and the curiousity to help you to develop into a Wonderful and Wise mature older Man You will make a Great partner. God Bless. I love your videos

Absolute joy to hear from these wise people. A lesson learnt is to appreciate that they have extremely valuable life experience that we can all learn from.

Awesome stuff

beautiful video, especially when the lady said, things in life happen for a reason , be happy :) but it's ok to be unhappy also, as long as there's more happiness than non happy times, then it's all worth it to me

It's a mindset. Thanks for sharing g your mindset. It can be ours too.

We appreciate what u did to make our lives better by just listening to wisdom lessons from elder people

Rolling Stone song, Getting old is a drag. I feel no regrets, don't wish I was younger, knowing what I know today, about how the world really operates, the well established evil behind it all. This young generation, no happy future!

Balance is so important. And what "being in balance" means actually changes a lot in life and is much more difficult once you have a family and children. And if you are "out of balance" that might impact your healt, your mind, your relationships and all other things in life negataivly. And since your body and mind is so intertwined you should always ask your self what is the real reason your want to do something, is there a deeper need? That helps me to stay to stay in balance and make better decisions. Greeting from Germany. I love your channel! :-)

Yes, will. It's a mindset.

The guy with the round glasses worked as a reporter- TV personality for Radio-Canada

Bravo !

Money doesn’t buy love, but it Does buy Freedom!!!!

Great video Will I Am

To balance out, we need to hear from people in 60s and 70s and they are still working because they love their jobs.

Great stuff.

Life is a constant it challenges you, desions are made daily how we manage to provide our basic needs and survive yet being able to enjoy the life experiences and how we navigate through it with others in our lives the connections we make along the way makes it easier or harmful for us to make the life choices that make us who we choose to be and can you recognize yourself in the mirror and face yourself day to day it all matters

💰Having money provides individuals with options, comfort, freedom and protection. It’s up to the individual to decide how they want to allocate those dollars, which is a personal choice based on one’s desires and knowledge 💰

Be your own strong advocate. With all the info available, you the patient must be in charge.

I’m changing my opinion of who to look up to. Used to be about fame and money wins. Popularity too. They are cool but having a good career and being healthy and true to yourself and as well mannered as you can be is the true hero human for me now. The middle class, the hard workers..

Money is not everything but can certainly help to have adequate have food roof over head but it certainly cannot but you good health always. You can feel blessed rich if you have genuine love family around you & appreciate life.

Dont tell your regrets and past secrets idk nope nothing cant remember nopee just be happy 😊 and its true why bring up past hurtful memories or tell the world they will end up judging you dont tell anyone your weaknesses

i kinda wish u have a spotify podcast ver of these vids

Good.

bless everyone

"False Gods of consumption," and "seeking security so doing what you have to do instead of what you wish to do." 👏🙌🙌 Edit: Also appreciate the tree analogy at the end. This whole thing was wholesome. This channel is helping me more than therapy.

Beautiful ❤️📍🇿🇦

23 here and want more money in order to live better though I am stressing myself to do a flipping masters in order to get what I want. It’s frustrating to hear money doesn’t buy happiness when you childhood was pretty much unlike the norm.

Can you PLEASE ask 90 year olds what they'd advise their 80 year old selves? And their 70 year old selves etc.? They will think that by younger you mean 20-30 year olds and maybe you do but people over 50 still need advice...

You have to have money enough to not worry about it before you can then say money don't buy happiness.

The one guy said were looking for security instead of doing what we dream of doing how true.

As a young, I tried to follow certain advices that this "relationship" thing is so cliche but it's hard to let it go and move on because there's this "negative feeling" I'm getting before I'm able to move on is to do what other young idiots are doing. If I don't, I would be lying on my bed for weeks smiling and laughing like nothing has happened and I don't understand a single thing what am I watching on youtube. Yeah I went insane shit at my parents but they're still fine though but I always complain why am I so miserable over a relationship, it's a mysterious force that I can't explain.

I would love to see these questions posed to the old homeless people in Montréal. What is their wisdom?

I love all these beautiful people from the videos!! I would've given them a big hugsss and kisses if i could. Thank you so much for posting this video and spreading love ❤

The 94 year old lady in the park bench is absolutely hilarious as well as dropping some real gems she has real comedic talent 👏🏾👏🏾😍

For me, the most important thing in life is that I met Jesus. Sad that no one said that..

The only way in which money buys you happiness is if you can plan with it to have time and money at the same time. Working upteen hours a day till you are 65 or 70 so you have more than you will ever need is furtile. You will get there only to spend it on you health and not the things you would have spent it on earlier.

They are not “mistakes “ as such…they are regrets !

oh this hurts, my mum was 80 and die 2 weeks ago. I cannot bear to go on. She was in perfect health, exercises/went to the gym, never drank, never smoke then out of nowhere got cancer. I'm so sad for her. Everyone was shocked because of how active and healthy she was. I'm so sad for her. I really thought he'd have at least another 10 years left. She was as active as a 40-50 year old. You wouldn't have thought she was 80. I miss her so much and I wish I'd have taken a year off work and travelled the world with her on my coin. I am devastated. I want to die.

I'm 65 and financially secure and that leads to less stress I don't have to worry about scrimping on every little thing as long as my health holds up then I should be okay if I didn't have financial security it would be a lot more stressful and I would be a lot more unhappy with just living so money buys the foundation for happiness you may be unhappy after that but that's a different matter. Lo..key infomercial by the way..

Excellent 8:00
