Vegetating on a sofa in front of a TV is not a good way to spend your last stretch on this planet. But neither is working.
Just as an FYI, older people do such things not because want to, but because their bodies’ current condition won’t let them do otherwise.
You really do start going downhill quickly in your late 50s, healthwise.

Regardless every person being different from the next, spending days on end watching brainrot television is not a good way to spend your life.
Even with reduced mobility, a person can enjoy other things. Reading, writing, listen to music, solve puzzles, etc. There are numerous activities to persue.

Of course, I wasn’t suggesting otherwise.
My point is when you see Grandma sitting in the rocker on the porch she may be doing that not be because she’s there to enjoy herself, but because she’s incapable of doing other things, and even movement is problematic.
In essence we don’t get old, we just break down, and when we do, the lack of mobility and pain are your constant companions.
