Have you every put a age limit on how long you are going to live?

I have, I feel that I will live to about 82 years old. But the thought of having white/grey hair, wrinkles, tiredness, aches and pains, ill health etc. is not a good thought. But I know that I will be heading in that direction. Have you ever thought about how you will be when you are old and how long do you predict you will live?

82 years old is the average for women in Europe. The problem is not to reach until this age but HOW you're going to live until this age as retirement's money is shrinking.

To be honest, I have thought about this. I had my girls late in life, in my standards. I was 34 when my oldest was born and she is now 11. My mom was only 20 when I was born, so we kinda of grew up together. I hope to live to be in my 80's and keep telling myself and my family that they will take me out kicking and screaming. I don't mind having the grey hair (already working on that) and the wrinkles because it is a part of life. Just to be around every day to see my kids is what I want.

I hate the thought of getting older. I don't want to live and be decrepit and can't do anything. As long as I'm in good health and can get around like I can now then it won't matter how old I am. When I was younger for some reason I thought 50 was enough living for me. I never pictured myself living longer than that. Not to offend any 50 year olds here I don't consider 50 too old. I just never thought I would live past that age.

Yup, thought I'd die of skin cancer before I was 25, but here I am at 25 and cancer free *shrug* Now and then I think about it; doesn't everyone? Where I'll be at 60? Will I still be with my partner? Will I even get that far? I've never really thought about guessing how long I'll live. I mean, it's impossible to even guesstimate.
