This pisses off my cousin but I would be content living to be just 60-65. Not saying I would complain if I made it to 80 but I prefer 65. I would rather die a healthy 65 than a decrepit 85. Even though Dad was not suffering horribly he was still basically disabled. He needed someone to accompany him everywhere. He died at83. Mom is 86 and can't go anywhere without assistance. I don't want to ever HAVE to depend on someone to help me with anything much less have them have to wash my ass. I see the trouble it is trying to have assistance for my mother and my aunt. I don't want that. And in the United States it doesn't seem like much is done to significantly help the elderly. If I sign out at 65 I at least keep most of my independence.
Bottom line...even though it shouldn't, .it sucks to be old.
