Would you like to live a 100 years old?

I already plan to live to be 125 if not older. I want to see what is going to happen in the future. i would even love to live to the next century just to see what it will be like. We came a long ways in 100 years.

I wun wanna live to a 100 years old even if i can do so.. As long as i can fulfil my dreams in life, any age will be ok for me.. Even if i din get to fulfil all, i also wun wanna reach 100 because of the fast moving world now.. Everything changes too quickly and the pace is too much to handle..

God has made us and sent here to live and as long as the life is concerned if He will allow me to live here for 100 yesrs then i wish to be live these years healthy and independently.

If I could live to 100 and be in good health then yes. If I had to live in an assisted living it would be ok, but I don't want to live in a nursing home. I would love to make it to 100 and see my kids grow and have kids of their own and grandkids too. I would love to be able to meet my great grandkids and have them know me. My husbands grandmother is 106. Up until the last year or so she was still alert and in good health. her health isn't too bad, but her memory is going and now when we visit she doesn't remember exactly who we are and she repeats things over and over.

Yes,it's really worth living if we can experience life with our family longer. But I don't like to live too long.I think when we can contribute all we can is ok.There is no mean to live too long.

Just "making it" to 100 wouldn't be that much fun. Now if quality of life at that advanced age were high then I might like it. I have several grandparents and great uncles who hit close to that age, and my grandmother is currently 94. She has a fairly good life, still lives in her home, still is independant, still has most of her activities and hobbies. She still gardens in summer in south florida heat. I would like to live long and enjoy it like she does, but most of us know that even reaching that advanced age usually means a large decline in personal freedoms, dignity, and ability. I would prefer if I had a choice to have a long life 75, 80ish then quietly go when my activity level starts to decline. Leave me out of the senior parade at the nursing home.

i would love to live to be 100. ..it would be great to be able to see all my children become adults and have their own families, i do want to see what my children would become, to see if their dreams had come true... to see what my next generation would look like.... but... i have a worry.. we may live to be 100 - but in what state, what condition ??... i would want to be in good health and still able to look after myself... to still be able 'to enjoy' life.. i would not want sick, and become a 'burden' for the family... (even if they dont think of me as a 'burden' when i become 100-yr-old.. my eldest child would be... 75 !!.. i am not sure if her children, would be willling, - or able to financially - to take of both their parents... and me...

Hello dear claire. Long time no see. How have you been doing, friend? Well, I have to say that this is a very good question because I like it so much. I would like to talk about my father, who is very optimistic towards life and often says to us children that there is no need for us to worry about him for his health and that he is sure to live up to one hundred years old. My father is eighty-two years old this year and is enjoying his good health. He has a very good habit of daily life, especially his good habit in taking exercises every day, in the morning and in the evening. My father leaves home for the sportsground or park in the city at four in the morning and comes back at seven or later. He says that he is always the first one doing jogging in the park. For sure he is as it is still not bright when he leaves home. My mother goes out later for exercise at around six in the morning. They go together to talk a walk after dinner every day unless it rains. My mother is ten years younger than my father and takes very good care of my father. I appreciate my mother very much for being so good a wife to my father and mother to us children. I do hope that both my parents will live up to as senior as they could to make us children happy. Well, as to me, I hope that my wife and I live up to as old as we can. I do not want to live alone without my wife, who is so caring and considerate. We have a saying in China, which goes like this, "A young couple in the early life, but an old couple accompanying each other when old". I enjoy more of life not only with my wife, but also with my son and grandchildren later on when getting as old as possible, but the first case, we need to be healthy to enjoy life to one hundred.Thanks a lot, claire.

At first sight, living to a 100 years seems a very ideal thing to everyone, and to be honest myself as well. Yeah, what joy to be able to see your kids marrying and starting a family, your grandkids grow up etc. But when you start to think about the cons of living to such an age, it might not be so feasible anymore. Firstly, if one ever manages to get to such an age, he or she would most probably be ill and frail by then. It is rare that people at these ages don't suffer any disease at all. High blood pressure, diabetes, osteoporosis etc. will normally be part of an elderly person's life. Yeah, living to 100 years old is pretty awesome as an achievement, but I think most elderly people prefer quality of life rather than having to suffer for the coming years. Secondly, since elderly people are more prone to develop and have diseases, they are dependent on other members of their family to look after them. This puts a burden on the other family members who might also have to work as well. Yeah, the family could hire a maid to look after the elderly, but that in turn requires money and might again put a financial burden on the family looking after the elderly person. So overall, if I were an elderly person being given the chance to live to 100 years old, I would prefer not to. I would be more than happy if I can live up to 70 years old (which by that time I should be able to see my grandchildren at least).

Living to be 100 is no longer the extraordinary experience. It's grand and it's rare, but you're no longer likely to be a village spectacle. This world is a bit crazy, and I'm not sure I'd like to spend a grand total of 100 years on it. Perhaps if I remained it good health and spirits I wouldn't mind. However, I used to work in a "family restaurant" that probably should have been called "75 and Over." It was so pathetic to see these people that were basically lifeless bags of skin that were completely helpless. They couldn't go to the restroom alone, cut their food, walk, talk coherently (if at all), or remember names and places. I've been a helpless child once in my life, and I have the grand benefit of not remembering it. I just don't think it's truly living after you've become that helpless; perhaps I just value my independence too much.

I'm absolutely determined to make it to the century mark but I do wonder what the world will be like in another 40 years! I suppose that's part of the fun. People alive now ho were born in 1908 must think the world is a pretty strange place compared to what they knew as a child. Or do w all forget those 'golden' years and just get on with life? We shall see, only another 43 years to go!

if i am a hundred years old and can still live regularly, meaning i can walk and talk without any deficiency, i can eat solid food, and i can still surf the internet---then by all means, count me in. but if i'm a hundred years old, limp, a burden to my children and grandchildren, can't function well, then i'd rather accept the fact that 100y/o is not really something i look forward too.

although it's quite impossible nowadays with the presence of pollution and technology, i still would like to live a 100 years old. you're right... i would love to see how my kids and grandkids and their kids would turn out to be. and i'd still be able to give them advices. how i wish it were possible.

I would like to live to be 100, to see all the changes that are happeing aroud us everyday. I would want to my childern grow up and have kids, then they have kids. But, also the other side, is if u lived to 100, would you want to see your childern possiabley die before you? The world has to much to offer, to live to be 100 at least i could get see at least 5% of it, before i kicked the bucket. Been 100 would be a blessing and a hardship.

That would be great! the fact that you'll see your great great grandchildren especially those who excel in their choice of fields is also a great achievement you can be proud of. But come to think of it, if we reach that 100 years of age, are we still in our normal state of mind? can we still appreciate things going on around us? or are we a burden to our family being in our sick bed where they spend so much for our medicines instead for the food on their table? I don't want to reach that age and be a burden!

I guess I just do not think I will live that long. But if I did, I would want to be in good health. I have seen very old people, but their quality of life is very poor. So I guess my answer would be yes, if I had good health and could enjoy life still.It would be fun to see so much out of life. Plus just think of all you would be a witness to history wise. If you have ever met a person who is 90 or more and they are still sharp. Boy they can tell you some things. Yep it would be an adventure for sure as long as I had my wits about me and good physical health.

Of course if God would give me a chance to live that long I'd be happy. Because I can be with my grandchildren and saw them grow up. And God only knows if He will give a bonus to us or not.

I would like to live past age 100 because I am so obsessed/fascinated with technology & I would like to see how much technology advances before I pass away. Probably in 40-60 years time, living to 100 won't b as difficult as it is today. 100 might b the new 50 or 60.

Hi friend........ my dad's grandmaa lived more than 100 years,but i don't like it.. we will enjoy every type of enjoyment in our suitable age like in teenage thinking to live our life beautifully,and in middle age we will like to achieve something in our life.. but growing older we will just finished enjoying,achieving every thing.. in the middle age we'l do every thing what our children's want.. by this we'l finish every thing in our life,than what to do in this earth being alive when we grow older..
