Moms 80
Dad is 77
Mom has some healthy problems but still getting around, dad still goes out and cuts grass, etc….. almost daily in summer but has a few early onset health concerns
Me personally I’d want to live till my quality of life gets bad and I can no longer care for myself.
As long as I put live my kids and get to meet most my grandkids I’ll be ok. I doubt I outlive my wife she’s 18 years younger so when I’m 70 she will be 52.

Before:
- you run out of $
- you become a burden to your family or society
- you have a substantial erosion of your mental capacity

Think it just depends. I’ve had some really vibrant patients in their late 80s/90s who are still really active and independent. Then I have some people who seem to be about done at 62.

Whenever I’m not physically able to do the things I enjoy

Is there really a good age to die?

At whatever point I cannot enjoy life and take care of myself

One of my closest friends is a neurologist specializing in aging and its effect on the brain.
We were grabbing a beer recently and I asked him this exact question… without hesitation he said “75.” He said that’s the universal age where he sees his patients neurological system deterrioate and they are not able to live life the way that they want. He said of course there are outliers but whenever he sees patients, it seems like they start to breakdown neurologically at 75
He then went on and said something along the lines of “we can keep you alive much longer, but based on what I see, dying at 75 ain’t a bad way to go.”
