Question:Have you considered living to 100?

I love the stories of all the people who have lived to the ripe old age of 100. Living to 100 seems to be the new goal. Some days I feel like 100 ... I doubt very highly that I will last that long.

Answer:

At first I thought yes that would be great but unless I knew that health would not be a limiting factor for me along the way, I don't think I would want to have to deal with the serious debilitating things that might come up along the way. I am just about to turn 50 and feel like my body is already falling apart.

Answer:

Heck no. If I did I would require that everyone I loved would live that long as well, and it doesn't usually happen that way. I don't want to be around to see everyone I know pass away.
