Sounds about right to me. I think 74-78 is probably the sweet spot if you’re just throwing out numbers when you’re not feeling currently close to death.

Thirty years from now I hope I’m saying 90 (and not saying 70).

Probably 55-60 I'll off myself

I love all the fun, dopamine producing, parts about life, I love tv, movies, hiking, going to the gym, sex, cars, etc. Honestly though I still don’t find life worth living.
Its meaningless, and difficult.

Whats the point in waking up and going to work every day just to survive. I make decent money for my age and still pretty much just work to pay bills, I might buy a new T-shirt once every couple months.

Whats keeps people going after that age? I have no reason to go to work, watch my family eventually die, deal with illness, etc.

Death sounds far more preferable

Im already at peace with going within a decade or so. Ive had a fun but also sometimes difficult life. Ive done everything I've wanted to do in life.

I've been dealing with serious illnesses for about 20 years and struggled and suffered. I recently got a diagnosis that isnt good.

Im chronically tired and hurting but surviving and enjoy my life as much as i can. But if this illness gets too aggressive then im done. Not much fight left in me healthwise after all i have already been through.

I figure i will die in my 50s or 60s. I'm good with that.

It is my intention to live forever or die in the attempt.

The second I hit dementia or Alzheimer's I start my end of life planning.

Don't let it. Just roll with what you have today. Looking back or forward just creates anxiety.



Youll get a much greater enjoyment out of your days if you realize this.

Same here in the last two (2) years and it gives you a different perspective about scratching, clawing and grinding your way to stay above ground enjoying this crazy life.
