Read previewEd, 63, was recently rewatching a documentary about Blue Zones — and it led him to rethink his outlook on retirement.
But he's making plans for when that day comes to avoid what he said is his "biggest fear": being lonely.

Chris Murphy and Bob Casey introduced a bill in December — called Addressing Social Isolation and Loneliness in Older Adults Act — to establish grants and training for community-based organizations to help address loneliness in older adults.
As federal efforts progress, Ed wants to ensure loneliness among older people is a concern that all age groups work to address.
