Friends are important. 
Keep in touch. That s all you need.
All of us will grow old
After 70? So?

[klat]

So they can scam you

[Ali Imran]

You can make friends instantly but you cannot make old friends instantly.

I treasure old friends.

[Lukongsimi]

After 70 needs good health not frens lah.
old n weak how to meet up frens most stay home
frens also see whether u got money or no money

[Alice Alicia]

Friends and social ties can be a hindrance to a happy retirement, as there are unspoken obligations to attend to, which can affect you mentally and physically, thus shortening your lifespan unnecessarily.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Need lots of money for sure

[Clyde]

久病床前无孝子, same applies to friends. I remember when my unmarried sister-in-law was sick and hospitalized, not one friend came to visit her. She spent lots of money giving them treats when holidaying overseas.

At 70 plus, if you are wheelchair bound, you need a good caregiver, more than friends. 
She must be patient, caring and 24/7 attend to your daily needs.

What you need for emotional support is from your family, love ones.
Pray hard you have both, and a substantial monthly payout cash from RA.

If you are mobile independence, you need emotional support from family and love ones.
And occasionally exercise outing with friends. Can TCSS 🤣 
Make yourself healthy as long as possible. 
And a healthy cash payout from RA is crucial. 2k to 3k per month.

As for close friendship, maybe one or two, but not necessarily though.
Because we are at the last phase of life, waiting to depart from this world. 
All is Done and Said, nothing more to hold on.
Nothing is important to miss, angry and regret. 
Must let go everything, love ones and even friendship. 😊
Leave happily 🤗

You will only understand this when you reach this stage. 😉

When you reach 70s, must cultivate a exercise like cycling, hiking, taichi, line dance etc..
Have a hobby like photography, aquarium, pet, etc

So you have common interests and topics to befriend. Enjoy your golden age together and see who depart first..

old already wanto make appointment must be quite accurate because leg lembek already no stamina to walk and walk. but yeh you tulan just say tulan no holds bar. the grp seems ok after that hoohaa.

[WhatDoYouThink!]

Old folks must stay at low profile, and avoid becoming a big piece of rubbish. You want friends but nobody wants to friend you

[Clyde]

If you are too old, the younger ones will feel that you are a liability to them when going out with you.

[winbig]

After 70 not much friends left bah. Cannot be make new friends so that they can see u off right?

[WhatDoYouThink!]

无欲则无求，无求则刚。old folks need to stay strong. Nobody pities you when you are old sick and poor

70s should still have 50% or more friends around. 

However  frens will definitely disappear once one hits 90+ yo, and life should be quite depressing then.
I have an 90yo uncle who was left with one kidney at 20% and he refused dialysis. 
Another old relative who died at 101yo tried to jump twice in his late 90s (but fortunately was spotted and held back by neighbours).

[Ali Imran]

I guess it's different with my community. Old age is more fulfilling, with grandchildren and all. But more importantly, faith will fill our lives even more.

[Ali Imran]

The government should do more to promote Catholicism and Islam because these 2 faiths help to keep the elderly busy and giving them a more fulfilling life, especially Islam.

That is why you hardly hear of elderly Muslims attempting suicide.

Old folks in china are well taken care of and happy
