This article from the Smithsonian brings up an interesting question; how old is too old?
Would you want to live past 100 years of age, or longer?
(An MIT study, included in the article, speaks to the fact that people in China are
living 5 years less on average because of the polluted air from coal.)

I'd take two or three lifetimes if I could get them. Since I have no children I wouldn't be adding to population glut and there are so many things I'd love to do. Already on Medicare and in good health, I know I'll likely have at least 25-30 years more but that's not enough damn it!

Enjoy it while you can, last I heard it goes insolvent by 2023 without a major fix. 
(There's a lady working at our company that's 86! What? I need to find out what her secret is.)

One of the reasons I like owning land is there is always a reason to get up and do something every morning. My mother worked into her seventies as a practical nurse and my grandmother died scrubbing her floors at 97. The guy we use for moving earth around is also in his 70's. I think 70 is the new 50!
