Surprise is the main thing. My grandfather died at 54, to be survived by my grandmother who died at 90. Not a happy fate. So, this in The Telegraph was interesting. I do feel more confident than I did, and for the first time in my life am not dominated by worries about money. Maybe being 60 is not so bad.
