The older you get, the more you realize that the best life advice comes from people who have truly lived it.
The “Old Friend Club” is an Instagram page with nearly 280,000 followers where seniors share their thoughts, wisdom, and memories—sometimes wholesome, sometimes funny, and sometimes just brutally honest.
It’s part life advice, part social commentary, and part reminder that aging doesn’t mean losing your sense of humor.
From reflections on love and regret to sarcastic notes on modern dating or work culture, these messages to the younger generation cut through the noise in the most charming way possible.
There’s a lot to learn (and laugh at) when someone’s got decades of perspective under their belt.
We pulled together a few standout posts that are thoughtful, funny, or just plain true.
Whether you’re feeling nostalgic or just need a little perspective, this collection delivers.
