Sure, after 8 to 10 years almost everyone stops improving.
But if you're low rated (under 2200) then it's probably more a matter of psychology. You're not studying certain things because they're boring to you.
That's how I see it anyway.
Is there a point where you stop improving at chess?

Good people are rich in health, merit and opportunity. They are well bred, well raised and well invested in. Socially, financially and emotionally. These are the people who you can expect to bloom and show talent and merit. Good things are the bounties and victories that is derived from these good people and their merit, works and virtue.
I bet this account is either closed or banned before you've played 100 games.
Prove me wrong.
I'm gonna have to agree with that.

I can't say they don't play chess in heaven or hell but hypothetically speaking you'd stop improving at death
"... going from good at tactics to great at tactics ... doesn't translate into much greater strength. ... You need a relatively good memory to reach average strength. But a much better memory isn't going to make you a master. ... there's a powerful law of diminishing returns in chess calculation, ... Your rating may have been steadily rising when suddenly it stops. ... One explanation for the wall is that most players got to where they are by learning how to not lose. ... Mastering chess ... requires a new set of skills and traits. ... Many of these attributes are kinds of know-how, such as understanding when to change the pawn structure or what a positionally won game looks like and how to deal with it. Some are habits, like always looking for targets. Others are refined senses, like recognizing a critical middlegame moment or feeling when time is on your side and when it isn't. ..." - GM Andrew Soltis (2012)

Try out some different styles of playing. I was stuck at like 900 for while (Don't laugh), so I figured should try a more aggressive approach to chess and thus tailored some of my openings and middlegame strategies to fit my new style of play. Instant results 
Alternatively, some players play too aggressively (and hang pieces, or miss simple tactics) and should opt for a more cautious style of play.
Chess doesn't change, it's all about how you look at it
I haven't improved enough to worry about that yet!

Few people reach their potential. The problem is that as you get better, improving requires more time and effort and your progress is slower (in economics, it's called the law of diminishing returns).

Yes. When you hit a rating level of 3107.2439 you stop improving, because you have hit the terminal rating.
Yes, and also many people who play a great deal of chess are not improving at all despite believing they are.

I have reached my maximum improvement now i am learning to deteriorate! . . .
At 82 i can't seem to play like i used to! . . .
I am un-improving going downhill . . .
Highest i ever got was 1749 but for a short time.
I'm on a down hill ride after 65 years . . .
Now I'm barely in the low 1400's . . . Oh well! . . .

Learn the RAR and skills are automatically a side effect (a good side effect for once).
what is this
Denver we should all be so fortunate as you to even be able to still play the game into our eighties!
you said it twice
