if you can decide your age by yourself, how long do you want to live?

First, this is an impossible situation. Second, if men was to decide his age, he would never like to leave the earth more especially the millionaire ones. With passage of time body withers down and at a stage all parts of the body and senses stop working. In such a situation person would be totally at the mercy of others and a liability. Life should be not with the years ww live but with the moments we spend in peace and happiness.

This is an impossible question to answer. There's a lot of factors that could change my answer, so I will just say that as long as my health will permit. I would like to see my children grow up into beautiful adults and hopefully marry some day with a family of their own.

If I could chose, I would like to live to see my 80th birthday. I'd like to live a full and happy life, surrounded by my family, my good friends, and all the people that I love most. If I can do that, then I'll know that I'll be able to die in peace and die a happy woman.

we cant choose of what age we want to live as we cant tell the future ahead of us, we never know what will happened along the way. though what matter is i live a happy yet peaceful life. and if i were to choose i want to grow old though not to the point of being sick and stuck in my bed. it will enough for me to get old with my husband and seeing my kids having their own family and happy life together.

aww, scary question! Well, I want to live long enough. Long enough means I have time see my grandchildren, be rich and happy so I can die in peace.

I think not more than 60. I don't want to have a kind a life but I have many obstacle such as diseases or another disabilities because I am getting older and older. I can still be strong and able to do anything on my own. I mean I want to end my life at a golden age without anything hamper my activities.

Hello rohmatsw, I think I want to live til my 70's 0r 80's but I dón't want to live til golden age whom my grandmother did. At such age, you already experienced lots of sickness and health problems though my grandmother only had during her late 90's, it was so painful and full of sadness for us when she passed away.
But I think it's only God who knows our destiny and until when we'll gonna live in this world. I do hope that I'll really reach such age.
