discussion How long do you want to live?

[TheArgonaut]

117 seems perfect for me. 

[Kummercell]

I like to think that by age 60 I'll already have done everything I want to do, so 60 seems good to go

[Bloodflowers.]

85

 

I just don't wanna die young, I am curious about the future and see how the world is gonna evolve with time as I grow older

Ill give you a hint

 

[GrandeVersace]

I'm 31 and still feel like i have so much to learn. Idk 83-84 maybe? I don't want to be a helpless living corpse and people past 85 rarely can go even for a brisk walk. 

[Haus]

I would like to reach year 2100, but 103 is a bit much with the way things are going 

[jezebelvictoria]

I'd like to live forever but since that's not possible, I hope to get to at least 120. 

[Mitsouko]

As long as possible in good health. I just had a patient today who was 103. Her hearing was shot but she was fine otherwise. I wouldn’t mind lasting that long at all.

[CottageHore]

90 sounds about right to me but I’d happily live longer if my health didn’t become unbearable and if life wasn’t miserable. 

[Breathe On Moi]

88-92 would be perfect tbh

[Dula Peep]

I think 50 is a good age to go 

Unless I have children/spouse/family by then

How can yall want to live so old.. I used to want to be out of here before age 40 For now 65 seems to be about the maximum age I’d wanna get to. Anything after that I just start to become a burden on society, a shell of my former self, and physically incapable of a lot of the things I used to be able to independently do. I don’t want a family so I hope I can go early and not live to become a vegetable.

a modern 65 is younger than you're imagining i think. most 66 year olds aren't generally "burdens on society" or incapable of doing everyday things without a catastrophic injury or illness. your mid 70s is typically when a rapid decline begins to take place.

40??? For real? 

So many people don't even have established careers or families by then so that's way too early. 

 

I want to live as long as possible in good health - would love to reach the triple digits (I've met a few who have been doing very well for their age).

[GentleEarthquake]

i don't think i'll make it past 30

[BGKC]

Depends on a lot of things. If I had kids/grandkids I’d want to be around as long as possible for them, but never to the extent of being artificially kept alive in a nursing home with dementia and bowel incontinence. If I’m alone and over 70 with no husband/kids of my own then I’d probably be more than happy to leave this life with hopes of reincarnating on a planet that’s not as ghetto as earth. 

[Alldeezy]

old enough till my faves retire!  Denis, Allday & MGK are all my age so want to live with them 

[Rowan]

80-85

[brenda-walsh]

late 80s/ early 90s

[Grumpy Cat]

lowkey i'd like to hit 110-115 to bully future kids how 90s were the best and they'll never know

[Queen.]

Tbh, not as long. Can't wait for eternality! 

[John Slayne]

as long as i can, i love life

 

 

in good health though, i don't want to be in a care home not even knowing who i am

[zasderfght]

With my crippling anxiety and depression, if I were to like... die in my sleep tomorrow, I can't honestly say I'd be mad lol This is not to say I would take my own life, and I'm being dramatic, but yeah, life is not sunshine and rainbows. 

[Khal]

Up until whatever age where serious physical decline starts, and I require assistance for daily activities. As soon as I get to that age, I desperately hope I die, the thought sounds awful.
