Would you want to live to the age of 100?

[Ladybj]

I am not sure because at that age, I would see several of my loved ones pass away. However, as long as I am in my right mind, still can enjoy life as best I can and not suffer when I pass on, I will welcome 100. At the end of my time, I would like to be in my rocking chair, knowing this has been a good ride...with a smile on my face...listening to my favorite song...YES!!

 

[Buckeye]

100? Nope. I'm watching my own parents, in their mid 90s, decline rapidly. One has lots of physical pain, the other has lost most memories. At 90 they were both doing okay. Max for me would be mid to late 80s. And I hope to go out by being shot in the back by a jealous husband...

 

[Sassycakes]

No way. I would never want to still be around if anyone I loved wasn't still here. I'll go willingly when my time comes.

 

[Lvstotrvl]

No thanks! I would like to go in my sleep, God willing!

 

[jujube]

Nope. Not a chance. My money won't stretch that far and I'm pretty sure my health and mind won't, either.

My mother is 94 and professes the desire to hit 105. She'll probably do it.

 

[Linda]

No, not really. I think that'd be too old for me.

 

[Catlady]

I MUST live to 92 so that my youngest cats are old enough to pass on, I don't want them to be orphans, they will be too old for anyone to adopt them. Hopefully my willpower will be enough to keep me alive until then. Doubt it, though, my father and his mother were the longest lived in my close family and they only made it to 82 and I am 77. I'll wait and see how things turn out.

 

[Ruth n Jersey]

Absolutely not. My money won't last,friends and family my age would be gone. Aches and pains to contend with and breakfast would be swallowing a bunch of pills to prolong the whole mess.

 

[ClassicRockr]

Yes, as long as my wife is with me.

 

[Catlady]

No thanks! I would like to go in my sleep, God willing!

That is the absolute best, gentle and quiet. Here's hoping you get your wish. It's also mine, or someone hitting me with a shovel from behind, quick death and didn't see it coming.

 

[Keesha]

No

 

[Repondering]

If my health was acceptable enough; if my daily life and companionship was rewarding enough; if the logistics and finances were still secure enough.....yeah, I'd like to see what the world is doing in 2053. But if living becomes awful....no.

Would you want to live to the age of 100?

Don't know

So far, I've been able to enjoy life to the max, in any capacity.....including being incarcerated

But, from here on out, I've instructed my grandkids to take care of me if and when I go demented;

It's an Of Mice and Men thing
Take me to the side of a stream, or on a beach near the surf
Set me up with some Pink Floyd....Shine on You Crazy Diamond would be good
Leave me a jug of single malt
A generous bag of quality weed
...and some munchies
When I get that far off sappy grin on my mug, take a size 42 Louisville Slugger
and swing for the fences......thru the back of my skull

 

[win231]

Only if I was walkin' talkin' seein' & hearin'
Which ain't likely.

 

[raybar]

As long as I am in reasonable health, I would like to live forever. But when health fails, I'll be checking out quicklky.

 

[Duster]

Right now, I'll say no. A fortune teller once told me I'd live to be at least 90.
Ask me again in 30 years. I may have a different answer then.

 

[PopsnTuff]

My Dad lived to 96.....I really dont think I'll make it to 80 with my current medical issues......I always said I dont wanna live past 70 but staying in this realm just to enjoy my grandkids, my mind is changed

 

[rkunsaw]

Yes, as long as I could take care of myself and still have an active mind.

 

[Aunt Bea]

I don't think so, ask me again tomorrow.

[Lee]

Most of the ladies in my family lived to a ripe old age, late 80's to mid 90's so I hope to do the same.

 

[terry123]

No. My money will not last that long. Hope to go in my sleep or a quick fatal heart attack.

 

[hollydolly]

Another almost 40 years?.... hmmmmm... I don't think so, not unless I had a big caring family to take care of me if I needed it, or if I was relatively healthy, which I doubt I would be....

If I don't die of an illness or accident before then and ultimately live my life out naturally, I'm expecting to die around the same age as my grandmother, and my father which was early 80's.. I hope a little longer but I'm expecting it to be that.. but otherwise 100 ?..not unless in the next 4 decades they bring out some better health care for seniors...

That said have you ever seen this continuing video story.. of the 2 sisters one is 105 now and the other in her late 90's..they're very funny.. but they've lived long lives in their own homes because they have a caring family

This is one of the first videos the family made of their grandma and aunt ginga.. when grandma was 101, and aunt was 96..

 

[treeguy64]

Only if I'm able to keep doing what I like to do, unassisted. Absent that, I won't be around, one way, or the other.

 

[IrisSenior]

Maybe if I was still ok with getting around and knowing what is around me. I am improving my health and fitness quite a bit in the last 2 years but most in my family don't live that long.

 

[Ken N Tx]

Yes,as long as I am not a burden on anyone...
