As long as I have close family and I am in good health then forever.

If all I have is close friends and distant family then probably around 60 years then.

Question for older folks. I’m a college kid and I see older people even my parents say that they’re not afraid of death anymore. As you get older, do you really not become scared of death? My grandfather always acts like he wants to die. As a college kid I don’t like thinking about dying but I guess it’s because I really haven’t lived yet.

I can answer this. I view it this way. I've lived a much better life than my parents, I've traveled more, owned nicer things, and can't complain about how blessed I have been. I have worked hard my entire adult life, but in my mid 50's, I have many great memories to say "It's been good".
I think that makes it more easy to say I could die and not have any regrets other than leaving my family.

I'm also a Christian, which also makes it way easier to say "when I die I die", and I'm good with it.

I was always terrified of death but yeah..as you get older you become more accustomed to the idea. Most of the things you want to experience, you have and it becomes easier to let go.

I still don't like the idea, but when the time comes I'll be more comfortable with it.

I’m not afraid of death itself at all. I’m only apprehensive about the way that I’m going to die.

I'm in your age range, and I'm absolutely seeing changes to my abilities. I'm a more cautious driver ( that's a good thing ), but I move a lot slower, especially in the mornings.

I tell my wife all the time, I can feel the changes in my body happening. Not sure if it's a 5 year, 10 year or 30 year change though.

I don't dread aging anymore. I understand I can't do some things I did when I was 20 but mentally I still feel like I'm young.

My mind works fine, my body doesn't react as quickly though.

As long as I can, then my memories down loaded so I can theoretically be alive forever.

If I make it to 70s I’ll be happy.

With my current living high on the hog lifestyle I probably won’t make 50

I’m also in my early 50’s and I feel absolutely great. My life is good Order, I’m on my second career and I’m sharp as a tack mentally.

I’m good to at least 90.

I'm 36 and have been in constant mostly severe pain for 13 years. You can live with pain.

I hope I'm never confined to a bed or full blown dementia. Theres no shame in having medical assistance later in life if needed.


All that said, i think I'd like to see 80

My son is 1, I'm 32, so at least long enough that my grandkids will remember me, so 75 would be great.
