Hi Guys,, Just wanna ask on how do you prepare for old age, are you planning for it? or do you take any measures in prolonging your life.. how do you want to die? Do you want to die in old age like about 95 years old?

hi emdjay I don't really think about it, in my opinion there is no point in thinking about that I'd rather enjoy my life now than worry about what will happen when I become really old, of course II am concern about myself and try to live a healthy life as much as I can because I don't wanna die young but I believe that is really out of our control, some people keep working their butt off and saving their money for their future and spend less time enjoying the present then they got sick and wasn't able to enjoy life and all the money they've earned for so many years. SOrry if I sound negative but it's just my opinion.

No, its okay, I also have the same opinion.. I think people should always live life to the fullest.. and I think that all the money that we've earned cannot join us on if we die.. Thanks:)

[b]"[i]Life is too short, so love the one you got 'Cause you might get run over or you might get shot[/i]"[/b] that is a part of the lyrics of a song from one of the bands I really like listening to. It simply says in life we're not sure know what will happen tomorrow or if there will be tomorrow for us so we should live life to the fullest.

I don't prepare at all. What do you want me to prepare for? Who says I will still be alive tomorrow? I never break my brains about getting older or what to do in 5 or 10 or 20 or 30 years. I need to have a life now.

Me too.. I agree, I guess all we have to do is to not live in the future but on now.. people mistakenly think that they can predict what will happen on them but they can't..

I am not excepting getting older very well! I will be 50 years old in May. I have found out when I hit my 40's life got harder and gets harder every year! I need to find a way to make my life easier so I can live life better! I am going to find something that will work! I have had it! Life sucks as you get older and whoever says it gets easier is lying!

Hi Emdjay! I work hard today so that i can have more money to finance myself when i get old. Apart from that, i invest on my health so that i wont be sickly. I want to die sleeping that way i wont feel any pain. As for the age... hmm... i dont think i would like the idea seeing my loved ones die before i do. I would rather go first. I dont want to get too old and lonely.

I don't prepare for old age at all in the sense that I take supplements and check what I am eating. I do prepare for old age in the sense that I take care of my skin. i always use sunscreen and started using anti-aging products. I don't think I want to reach 95 jeje. I will be really weak and wrinkly and stuff. i don't want to burden my children or who ever in taking care of me. I want to live to a point where I can be able to see my kids get married, and see my grandchildren grow old.

Wow, this is the second discussion about mortality that I have come across mylot today. Why are we thinking of these things? Anyway, to answer your question, I do not really prepare for my old age. I guess it will just happen. I am in my late 20s and I work in an office. The least that I could do for myself and my family in preparation of old age would be my savings. Though I don't really have a lot. But I know I should start saving seriously. I cannot work forever so I should consider that

Old age is something none of us can get around. The perfect way. I think, for a person to pass on to the next realm is by just going to sleep one night and not waking up the next morning. I am a very curious person and I want to live as long as i can and see what the future holds.

One of the most important things to do while we're young is to start saving money for our old age because we won't be able to earn our own when we get to that age. The thing is, a lot of us don't think about what we're going to be like when we're older, as we're far too busy just living for the moment and planning for possibly the next couple of years but usually not much past that really. This has to change, as everyone is living much longer these days, which means that we have to put more money aside to provide for ourselves.

i don't prepare it since i don't hold my future and besides i don't have any idea if i would be awake in the morning...all i want to do is i would be ready before i die so that i could be in heaven with my love ones and family when the time comes.worry about today and not tomorrow, only God knows
