This research had some contributions to academic society, but it had some limitation and several research suggestions were made as follows.
Firstly, this research should have conducted pre-research with exemplary group prior to survey to elevate the understanding level about the survey goal, but due to time limitation, it could not be carried out. In the future research pre-research should be made.
Secondly, this research limited sample only to Daegu, so generalization of study could not be attained. Also this research used convenient sampling method to gather data. Random sampling method had better be used and sampling area should be enlarged in the future research.
Thirdly, this research considered only demographic variables, awareness of aging and attitude toward the aged, but there are more variables which could affect the preparation of old aged life. Therefore, future research must consider more variables besides these variables.
Fourth, this research showed that the awareness level of aging and the attitude toward the aged played very important role when people prepared for the old aged life and this could be well used when adults were educated about the old aged life preparation.
