Doesn't this scare a significant number of people?
Yup. It's probably one of the base reasons why religion is so important to so many people.

Is there a point in your life when you are just ready to die
My grandfather hit this point, and two weeks later, he died.

I’m only 50 and there are days when I’m ready. Just the mundane details and routine of life that gets old to me. I find it very tedious.

My cousin is like this. He doesn’t even wear sunglasses when we play airsoft

That may be just what the doctor ordered.

I am pretty curious about what comes next, but am not ready to find out just yet.
On their deathbeds my grandfather and mother both awoke to ask where they had been and talked of how beautiful the place was. When told that they had not been anywhere the both became annoyed and insisted that they had. Did they truly experience an afterlife or were the hallucinating? I don't know, but find it pretty reassuring that they both did it and had not the slightest apprehension about returning to wherever it was. In fact they wanted to go back.

Yeah. I'm not really religious, and I don't fear "death" per se, but there is something about general uncertainty that really freaks me out.

I get this. This puts me at ease a little. On the flip side, I didn’t exist before I was born, but now that I exist it’s going to suck not to exist.

Is there a point in your life when you are just ready to die? I witnessed this with my grandmother. She really just didn’t want to live any more. Death scares the frick out of Perm and I’m hoping I’ll be “ready” when I’m old as frick.

For me, it's as easy as "It's going to happen." So when it does, I'm prepared for it.

If I ever get advanced Alzeimers, I will be ready to die.

It already is a mega-billion dollar industry.
Look at the potential of CRISPR and you can see anti-aging remedies might not be far off.
At the same time there are still diseases like certain types of cancer we cant even make a dent in given current tech (such as the condition the young boy Drake from Thibodeaux is suffering from).
Bill Gates, who of course funds a great deal of medical treatment foundations, said in a reddit AMA that anti-aging research was a practice in selfishness and narcissism by the people funding it knowing there are plenty more pressing medical issues at present, HIV being one (ongoing clinical trials using CRISPR for HIV).
My hope is anti-aging tech could cross over into treating cancer, Alzheimer's, ALS, etc.
We will see but theres definitely a ton of money in it already.

Hopefully you'll have that option... Old age is not guaranteed.

By the time I get to that age I’m hoping Virtual Reality will be incredibly advanced by then
