I don't have a set age. I guess for me it's more about being in decent shape physically and mentally. Also, it would be terrible to be old and not have enough money to support myself.


Our landlord who lives next door is well into her 90s, senile, going blind and is pretty much deaf. She can barely get around. She's been declining for years but is still alive. Honestly, she should probably not be living alone. I wouldn't want to be that age if it meant living in that state for years. Same with an ex-friend's dad who is about the same age and bedridden with severe dementia.


Then, on the other hand you have this guy that was a goalkeeper for our national football team, Sergio Livingstone. After his playing career was over, he worked as a sports commentator. He died at 92, and was well enough physically and mentally to work up until a few weeks before his death. Living long in a situation like that, would be okay, I think. It doesn't seem like finances were a problem for him either.
